Formula and worked example
CAT Exam Countdown method: Calendar days remaining = target date minus the chosen start date, using date-only values so local time-zone changes do not shift the result.
Worked example: From 1 September to 21 September, the countdown reports 20 days remaining; on 21 September it reports today.
Important limit: Enter a date from the current official schedule. The calculator does not confirm an exam, interview, or submission date and does not include the starting day.
