How To Crack VA-RC Section For CAT - Reading Comprehension

How To Crack VA-RC Section For CAT - Reading Comprehension

Verbal Ability is one section which is a low-hanging fruit for a lot of CAT Aspirants. It boosts the overall percentile immensely, even if you have done moderately well in the other sections. However, it is also a risky section for even those who are well-versed with English grammar and fluent in English. As an aspirant, I have given many mock tests and scored over 99 percentile in VA-RC in most of them because I have realised that CAT as an exam tests your ability to use logic and elimination methods, even in Verbal Ability.

Mistakes I Made In CAT 2017 And Things I Learned During My Preparation

Mistakes I Made In CAT 2017 And Things I Learned During My Preparation

When the CAT 17 result was released on January 8, I  was completely in shock, as I had no idea of what to do next because 83 percentile will never help me to get IIM calls. The only thing I had in my mind is to take admission this year or prepare for CAT 2018 but sometimes you know the inner satisfaction is more important because when we are not satisfied with the decision which we make is worthless. So after a month of deciding what will be a good option for me I have decided to prepare for CAT 2018.

The On-Going Journey Of An Average Engineer In The World Of CAT

The On-Going Journey Of An Average Engineer In The World Of CAT

I don't write. I hardly ever did. The only times I had ever written apart from taking notes or scribbling quant was when I was in my first relationship. (I know! Cliché). Anyways, keeping that aside I would request you to not judge me on my vocabulary prowess or my grammatical sense but rather on the content of the article. And even if a single person reading this can relate to his or her life, it would be a huge motivation for me to pen down my thoughts again.

From CAT To IIM Calcutta - My Journey To Joka

From CAT To IIM Calcutta - My Journey To Joka

A couple of days back, I got a call from a classmate from my undergrad college. He had an exciting news - he had a shortlist from IIM Calcutta! Having gone throughthe same process exactly a year ago, I was more than happy to help. Discussing my experience with him got me reminiscing. And then, thinking. Like most of my batchmates, I am an engineer. Unlike most of my batch-mates however, I am not from an IIT or an NIT, and so, I do not have seniors and peers who could help me when I was preparing. At IIM Calcutta, we live by the motto, “We Leave No One Behind”. I hope, this article helps everyone who decides to go down the CAT route.
