  #-Link-Snipped-# - I've moved your question to a new discussion thread in Engineering Jobs & Careers because I believe it's most suited here. Let me answer your questions below-
  

  1. Your decision will be a wise decision only if it is in sync with your long term goal and your interests. Are you convinced that CAT is 'THE' way to achieving your goals? If yes - your decision is wise. If not, you will have to evaluate things again.
  2. I've known people who didn't even open a CAT preparation book for a day and got 99+ percentile. Frankly speaking it's impossible to give a generic and correct answer to this question because 'it depends'. Have you taken CAT before? If yes, how well did you perform? If you already were in the 97+ percentile range - and are confident that some more preparation will get you in - you are on the right track. If not, I'd say you need to analyse your situation and options again. If you haven't appeared for CAT before and this is your first time - I'd say you have to check your mock CAT rank. If you have appeared in the top 100 - dedicating time to CAT preparation may be a good strategy. Otherwise it's not.

  The point I'm making is to consider the situation you are in - are you able to afford not receiving paycheck until you land in your next destination? Have you considered what your options are if you do not get the desired score?
  More, after we read your views.
