Inside the course
What you will learn and why it moves your score.
Random preparation is the most common reason a capable aspirant plateaus. S.C.A.L.E. replaces it with a system: five phases that run from school-level fundamentals to exam-day decision making, applied consistently across all three CAT sections.
The Combo bundles the complete S.C.A.L.E. QA, VARC and DILR courses into one programme designed and taught by Arun Sharma and Meenakshi Upadhyay. The core lessons are recorded and self-paced, with live workshops included during the access period.
The five phases
S — Setting your school right
Rebuild the Class 8 to 10 concepts that CAT quietly assumes, and the basic reading skills that comprehension depends on, so nothing breaks under pressure later.
C — Core concepts
Topic-wise lessons across the full syllabus: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Number Systems and Modern Maths in Quant; reading, verbal ability and critical reasoning in VARC; data interpretation and logical reasoning formats in DILR.
A — Advanced problem solving
Harder questions with guided reasoning, so you learn how an experienced solver chooses an approach instead of memorising one.
L — Learn from CAT
Actual CAT questions and sets with video solutions and trend analysis, so you see how the exam converts concepts into questions.
E — Exam readiness
Mocks, analysis, question selection and time management — the difference between knowing the syllabus and scoring on the day.
What the Combo gives you
- All three S.C.A.L.E. courses in one place, with a single dashboard
- Several hundred hours of structured video content across QA, VARC and DILR
- Practice designed to be used alongside Arun Sharma's books
- Test practice included with the programme
- Complete flexibility: recorded, self-paced, on any device
Who this is for
- Students starting now who want everything from the basics upward
- Working professionals and college students who cannot attend live classes
- Aspirants who have read the books and taken mocks but want the gaps filled
- Anyone targeting a 99+ percentile who wants one system rather than five sources

Student results
Real preparation journeys. Real B-school outcomes.
Hear from students who used the academy's teaching, mocks and mentoring to improve their CAT performance and convert leading B-schools.
CAT preparation is not just about academic knowledge. It is about developing a thought process for time management and increasing accuracy. Arun Sir and Meenakshi Ma’am made us aware of the dynamics of CAT while building the self-belief and confidence needed to perform.
Raghvendra Pratap SinghIIM KozhikodeThe program helped me get a good score and improve the areas that mattered during interviews. The classes taught not only logic and shortcuts, but also the ability to choose the right questions in the actual paper.
Nakul TyagiMDI GurgaonThe teachers were extremely helpful and I believe they are the USP of the institute. Arun Sharma Sir, Meenakshi Ma’am and Lokesh Sir guided us with the mental preparation for the exam, in addition to introducing innovative methods that made even the toughest problems feel manageable. Through their guidance and support, I cracked CAT and gained admission to IIM Ahmedabad.
Shantanu AgarwalIIM AhmedabadAs I celebrate my success in CAT, my deepest gratitude goes to the entire academy team for the constant support offered to me.
Himanshu SalgotraIIM CalcuttaI would like to thank Arun Sharma Sir for helping me realise my dream of getting into a premier B-school. Coming from a non-English background, I was always apprehensive about reaching an IIM. The guidance I received was extremely helpful and played a major role in my selection at one of the country’s best B-schools.

Questions, answered
Everything students ask before enrolling.
Still unsure whether this course fits your preparation stage? Send the enquiry form and a counsellor will talk it through with you.
Is this live or recorded?
The core course is recorded and self-paced, so you choose when and how fast to study. Live workshops across all three sections are also included during the access period, with recordings available if you miss one.
Do I need Arun Sharma's books as well?
The programme is designed to sit alongside them. Chapter-wise assignments are included, but for heavy additional practice the books or your existing practice material work best.
How long do I get access?
Access runs for the period shown in the access details above, from the date of enrolment.
Should I buy the Combo or one section?
Buy the Combo if you want all three sections covered as one system. If only one section is holding your score back, the individual S.C.A.L.E. QA, VARC or DILR course is the better fit.
I am a complete beginner. Will this work for me?
Yes. Phase one starts at school level in both Quant and reading, before anything CAT-level begins.
