CAT is round the corner. CAT is considered the toughest exam for bschools admissions in India. I would like to give last minute tips for persons who are preparing for CAT.
My Profile:
CAT 2008 percentile: 98.97
XAT 2009 percentile: 98.18
Converts: NITIE(PGDIM), MDI(PGPM), IMT-G(Finance)
So here goes the Gyan:
1. Give Mock cats very seriously. Every test should be reflection of your studies. Solve each and every question at home. Develop strategies and find what works best for you.
2. Read a lot from English news papers. Particularly people from state boards. English is achievable. I had studied in Hindi medium till 12th standard and even then I was able to get 97 percentile in verbal.
3. Aim for best. Aim for IIM A. It is very much achievable. I have seen normal people going to IIM A. They just had done hard work and had one good day in interviews. Particularly people getting around 90 percentile in mocks can get 99.5 + percentile in CAT with some extra effort. I have seen such cases(practical experience dude).
4. Solve only one material(either TIME, or CL or IMS) now, but do it completely. Solve every question. Try to have second scan on material.
5. Don't loose hope till the last moment. Those who dream, win the battle. Give your best shot.
6. Those who have just started preparing, 3 months is enough for CAT preparation. Brush up your basics and practice a lot.
Best of luck junta.....
