As of now, it is a good idea to go ahead with general CAT exam syllabus and stick to it. So first of all, for preparations starting in July.

what Common Admission Test is all about. To do that, either go for a mock test, or pick up a book with past year questions of it. If you are going for a book, then take one CAT test in test duration. Now you know what you are up against. From this you will also know which type of questions you will find easy and which ones as tough. 

Now have CAT exam syllabus in one place. From mock test(s) taken, know which topics you need to focus on first. Of those topics, study theoretical concepts and practice at least 10-15 questions. It is recommended that since you have less time than other competitors, find a teacher who can take you through theory quickly. Or you can find good video lectures online to help you out there. Do 50 questions on basic topics. Repeat with all difficult topics and conclude them before end of July.

CAT exam date will be in November of December. You will know exact date by beginning of August. Read newspapers and good English books to build reading speed and ability to comprehend what is read.
