Stuck in a Loop: Any Genuine Guidance?

General Discussion :illuminati:

Hey folks, really need some genuine advice.

I’m scoring around 29 marks in CAT 2025 (Slot 2) and expecting something between 70–75 percentile. I know it’s on the lower side, and honestly, I did give it my best. This was my third straight attempt — I left my job in 2023 to prepare, then again in 2024, and it’s been like a loop. Every year of prep has been a mix of frustration, self-doubt, anxiety, fear, and breakdowns.

After this attempt, I’ve decided this will definitely be my last CAT. XAT is still left, and I’ll give it my best shot… but I’m scared — what if it also doesn’t go as planned?

So I’m just looking for some realistic guidance: Are there any decent colleges I can target at a 70–75 percentile?

Any help or advice is genuinely appreciated. Thank you.
