It is no longer just about belling the cat, you have to be consistent throughout your life. *sigh* With CAT around the corner and the admission criteria of all the colleges released, let us look at which college values what metric more.
Verbal Ability section is nothing short of a Gordian knot, more so if you’re an engineer. The kinematics, mathematics, and dynamics that you study in your undergrad leave you with very less knack for reading genres like psychology, economics, sociology, politics or even fiction. Well, take a sigh of relief! You need not be a Milton or a Shakespeare or even a voracious reader to ace the Verbal Ability section. Yes, you read it right, and that’s because VA is not equal to vocabulary or literature. It’s about your ability to comprehend while you read. It’s about filtering important information from a plethora of noise.
Almost every one of you would be worried about your mock scores. Whether it's AIMCAT, SIMCAT, or any other mock. I was in a similar situation last year when I was working in an office for 9-10 hrs and parallelly preparing for CAT.

With exams getting scheduled left, right and centre, it is difficult to find time to sit and prepare solely for XAT. Since you get to do 72 questions in 170 minutes, XAT requires ~ accuracy ~ speed ~ question selection ~ decision-making abilities ~ quick reading and comprehension
So today is Sept 8 and CAT 18 is on Nov 25. Counting backwards, you have 25+31+24= 80 days in total. Difficult… but definitely doable.
