25th November - the most important day for an aspirant this year. It's the day that will decide if all the hard work will pay off or not. One day, 3 hours to be precise, that will decide if you will get into your dream b-school or not. To help you get closer to your dream, we have just the right person to help you - Arks Srinivas - the Head for MBA Prep at Career Launcher and an IIM Calcutta Alumnus.
CAT is the best opportunity for any MBA aspirant can have. Why? Is it because CAT is a government centralized test, taken by more number of aspirants than any other MBA entrance tests? The answer to this would be no. This article is peculiarly for the aspirants who are steering away from CAT this year either because of lack of time to prepare or because of seemingly high difficulty level and are relying on other entrance exams that appear easy, i.e. NMAT, SNAP, MAT, CMAT and state-conducted entrances.
To begin with, LRDI is one of the most crucial sections when it comes to CAT. In this article, we focus on how to prepare for the section and what all resources might be of help. Logical reasoning and data interpretation are pretty fancy terms that are extremely ill-defined and so, it is not easy to prepare for the same keeping in mind a syllabus as one might do in case of verbal ability or quantitative ability.
CAT as an exam is all about having a solid strategy in place, and just having that can help you ace the test. We understand that at this point, all you need is a beacon of guidance that can help you crack CAT and get into the business school of your dreams.
The palpitations and fear would have increased manifold!
Exam hain, toh stress hain - and no matter how on-track you’re, the stress only builds up as the dates close in. There is really no way to avoid it but a little motivation can do just the trick. Here’s a comprehensive list (more like a compilation) of songs, articles, cell-phone apps, TED talks and videos that you can consume for that extra dose of motivation. These songs have known to inspire the very spirit in anyone who wants to achieve a goal. While your goal (of getting a 99%ile in CAT) is pretty different from what Rocky Balboa or Karan Shergill were aiming for, nonetheless their struggle and the songs written to bring that out will do you good. In no time you’ll find yourself humming the tune and repeating the lyrics. All said and done, music can be one of the best breaks you can take, especially when you’re drowning in quant.
You have been working hard for the last god knows how many months juggling between work/studies/relationship goals etc. You have gone through enough DI/LR/Quant/Verbal to start your own coaching institute. Your parents have probably forgotten that you exist. Now it’s only 30 days before the big finale – so what do you do?
Disclaimer – I am a chartered accountant and scored 99.24 percentile in CAT 2016. I am no expert on CAT. However, as a student who has gone through the process, I know how to approach the exam. Here are my 2 cents.
