Myths About VARC Preparation - 5 Tips By 99.91 Percentiler | Krunal Kshirsagar

The night before my CAT D-Day was exhilarating. The electricity at my place was unavailable and mosquitoes didn't let me sleep till 4 am. I had the first slot of that day. So I got up at 6 am. Now when you get only 2 hours of sleep just before your slot, you are pretty much done with your normal mind. Now on top of that, when the first section you see is VARC, and by your sheer bad luck, it comes as the most difficult one, all you can trust is your practice and brain cells. All this happened on that day and still, I scored 99.91 percentile in VARC. This surely makes me think I should really share some tips which will help you score well even if you face,  god forbid, a situation like I did. So now let's talk about these 5 myths which I constantly heard during my preparation and which you should ignore. I hope It will make our road to preparation easy.

Don't Let The CAT Prep Subdue Your Life | Shivam Jha, CAT 2019 99%iler

As a GEM Fresher candidate, an enormously overrepresented demographic at B-Schools, I was hounded from the beginning by all the people around me. I was told that you need to have an exceptional CAT score and stellar academics to make it through, given how cut-throat the competition is in your pool. And as someone who had 4 backlogs in his first year, this definitely did not feel like an appealing path to tread.
