The Only CAT 2026
Mock Test Series Built
by Someone Who
Actually Cracked It.
Most mock tests are made by people who’ve studied the CAT.
Ours are built by someone who has scored 99.9+%ile in every attempt across 30 years — and a bestselling author who’s trained thousands for VARC. The difference shows in every single question.

Why other test series
set you up to fail
Months of preparation, yet you’re blindsided in the actual exam. Here’s exactly why.
DILR Sets With No Clean Path
Every CAT DILR set has an elegant 10–12 minute solution that the question setter intended. Most test series don't know this — so their sets are either too easy or frustratingly unsolvable. You practice the wrong skill entirely.
VARC With Two "Correct" Answers
In real CAT, RC and VA questions have one definitively correct answer — always. In other test series, ambiguous questions leave you guessing. This trains you to second-guess yourself when it matters most.
QA That Rewards Tricks, Not Logic
CAT questions have a consistent logical trigger — a 2-minute elegant solution. Miss it, and you waste 8 minutes on a brute-force method. Other test series train you on shortcuts that simply don't work in the real exam.
Hear it directly
from Arun Sharma.
“The CAT is not a test of how much you know. It’s a test of how well you think — and no test series reflects that unless it’s built by someone who thinks the same way the exam does.”
Not coaches. Legends.
The two people behind India’s most trusted CAT preparation books — now building the most authentic mock test series for CAT 2026.
Arun Sharma
Arun Sharma is the author of India’s bestselling CAT preparation books (McGraw-Hill) and has spent 28+ years mentoring aspirants. He is the only person in India known to have scored 99.9+%ile in CAT in every attempt across 30 years — which means he doesn’t just know the CAT, he thinks in the same way the exam does.
Every CAT, 30 years
Years experience
Bangalore Alumnus
Meenakshi Upadhyay
A communication skills expert and IIM Bangalore alumna, Meenakshi Upadhyay has trained students for CAT, CSAT and UGC NET for 20+ years. Her CAT Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension book (McGraw-Hill) is a national bestseller. She is known for one thing above all: zero ambiguity. When she writes an RC question, there is one answer. Always.

Real results.
From first-timers to repeat aspirants — here’s what students who trained with Arun Sharma and Meenakshi Upadhyay achieved.
The mock tests helped me identify where I stood at each stage of my preparation. The regular mock interviews and suggestions for improvement were of immense help when I faced the interview board.
Himanshu Salgotra
99.85%ile
IIM Calcutta
Arun Sharma Sir, Meenakshi Ma’am, and Lokesh Sir guided us with the mental preparation for the exam — innovative methods that made the toughest problems seem like child’s play.
Shantanu Agarwal
99.89%ile
IIM Ahmedabad
Not only teaching the logics and tricks but also instilling an ability to make the right question choices — that was really helpful in the actual paper.
Nakul Tyagi
99.25%ile
MDI Gurgaon
Arun Sir and Meenakshi Ma’am not only make you aware of the dynamics of the CAT exam but they help you increase your self-belief and confidence. Constant personal guidance helped me develop a proper test-taking strategy.
Raghvendra Pratap Singh
99.38%ile
IIM Kozhikode
Coming from a non-English background, I was always apprehensive of reaching an IIM. The guidance given at Mindworkzz was extremely helpful and played a major role in getting selected at one of the best B-schools.
Sandeep Mohanty
99.69%ile
IIM Bangalore
At Mindworkzz, Arun sir and his team provided me with the best training to crack the CAT — and the PDP sessions polished my outlook towards the exam. The constant emphasis on mock tests helped me plan my approach better.

What students say
unprompted.
Real opinions from r/CATpreparation — unfiltered, unedited.
“You want honest opinion, here’s mine. Last year I got this along with Simcats. I got 20 mocks for ₹350. Quant and DILR was no doubt good — similar to CAT level, sometimes difficult, sometimes easy. As CAT paper varies too. In VARC, I felt it was most of the times on the easier side. But still it was good. And it’s totally worth it at that price point.“
“For the price, yes it is worth it. Quants and DILR is of good level — at par with CAT. VARC is on the easier side.”
“They worked pretty great for me. Them being on a little tougher side is actually an advantage. Can’t lose if you train for a sword fight and end up in a knife fight, right?“
“They’re good. Really good quality questions.“
“Yes the quality is great. A little tough though.”
“Found it to be realistic — questions are good. LRDI: definitely a level above. Super interesting sets — multiple layers to the solution. Quant: definitely a level above. Questions are combinations of multiple concepts — number system clubbed with logs, algebra clubbed with arithmetic, lots of maximise/minimise questions. Definitely good to brush up all the concepts.”

Built from the
inside out.
01 DILRThe 10-Minute Solution Principle
Every DILR set in CAT, when approached correctly, is designed to be solved in 10–12 minutes — 16 at most. The question setter always has a clean, logical path in mind. Most test series miss this entirely, producing sets that take 25+ minutes or have no elegant solution at all. The CAT Experience is built with this exact mindset: every DILR set has a clear, time-efficient path, and our video solutions show you exactly how to find it.
02 QA Triggers Over Tricks
03 VARC Zero Ambiguity. Always.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Video Solutions by the Creators
Every full-length mock includes video solutions by Arun Sharma (QA & DILR) and Meenakshi Upadhyay (VARC). Not recordings — genuine explanations of the intended approach.
Reattempt Each Mock Twice
Take each test up to 2 times per account. First attempt for honest assessment. Second to fine-tune your strategy and time allocation.
Exact CAT Pattern
Every test is built to mirror the latest CAT exam structure. Updated for all pattern changes in difficulty and question distribution across CAT 2025, 2024, and 2023.
Sectional & Topic Tests
Complete Package includes 30 sectional tests (10 per section) and topic-wise tests with detailed solutions — for targeted practice when you need it.
Telegram Group with Arun Sharma
Direct access to an exclusive Telegram group personally monitored by Arun Sharma. Ask doubts, get clarity, stay accountable throughout your CAT 2026 preparation.
