How I Aced CAT 2019 QA After A Failed Attempt In CAT 2017 | Anushka Singh

How I Aced CAT 2019 QA After A Failed Attempt In CAT 2017 | Anushka Singh

No, this is not a clickbait. I truly went from a 30’s something percentile in quant section in CAT 2017 to a 97 percentile in CAT 2019. Now before you go on to think that quant is not your cup of tea since you never understood it in the first place, let me give you a small background on myself.  I have had an interesting journey with Mathematics all my life. I hated it until I was in std 9th, mainly because I failed to understand it. Topics of arithmetic like profit loss, percentages, Time speed distance all were a bouncer and the often-imaginary world of geometry was a nightmare for me as I compared myself to Darsheel Safari of Taare Zameen Par, who could not form a picture of Apple when the teacher asked him to write it. I barely managed to scrape through my exams and felt my future to be absolutely bleak.
