Giving CAT exam is one part of the game and havibg great academics plus workexperience js another important part of game.
Sectional cutoffs are very critical and requires lot of practice on weak areas where you see your scores are low and maximum time istaken to solve.
You can refer to sectional weightage for each chapter such that you can prepare with strategy and eliminate your weak zones.
Solve LR with many puzzles, Sudokus, riddles to gain speed and smart thinking, for Verbal Ability take up flash cards and book by Norman lewis for word power,
For quants simply practice as much as you can and always read daily newspapers to gain good reading and listening skills.
The below link gives fair idea of all sectional cutoffs .

Simple, fortify your areas of strength and learn about areas you are not familiar with, to master such areas to know where you stand (you can also use the help of mock tests)...almost all the b-schools exams in essence are based on time-bound methods, so you should better work on your abilities based on potential b-schools you wish to study in and work towards achieving the same...I hope this helps you

You need to have a decent profile along with high percentile in CAT, IIFT, NMAT, XAT exams in order to get a call for interview and WSAT round becuase every college after MBA exams in order to call students for next round prepare a merit list based on your aggregate score which comprises of many factors such as CAT marks, 10th 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non engineer which has different weightages for different colleges.
To get a high percentile your basics needs to be very very strong so that you can tackle the speed with accuracy part in CAT exam efficiently. If you are giving all those exams this year than as very less time is left for CAT exam so quickly brush up with your basics and give up lots of online mock test and analyse their solutions which will help you in overcoming your mistakes and come up with a strategy to attempt your paper which will definitely help you in improving your marks and percentile.
A good percentile will increase your probability of getting a call from top MBA colleges.
All the best for your preparations and exams!!
