How I Scored 99+%ile In VA-RC | Strategy For CAT & SNAP
Hi ! I am Amir Raza from Kota, Rajasthan. I did my B.Tech in Computer Engineering from Aligarh Muslim University. I was one of the many engineers who decided to opt for MBA and hence wrote CAT'16 in my final year. I scored a whopping 99.7 %le in CAT VARC section which escalated my score to 96.15 %le overall, despite scoring just around 80 and 85 percentiles in LRDI and Quant sections respectively. As a GEM Fresher, I was able to get calls from the new IIM's and IIT Roorkee. However, due to the lack of work experience and not so great academics, I could finally convert only IIM Sambalpur and IIT Roorkee then. General English section (27.5/40) once again proved to be my saviour in my first attempt at SNAP when I was able to manage a 98.2134 %le overall with single digits score in LR and GK ( 4 and 7.5 respectively PS- no sectional cutoff in SNAP ) and an average score in Quant.

70%ile To 99+%ile In The VA Section In 60 Days - An Engineer's Journey
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.

How To Crack CAT And Get Into IIM Ahmedabad - Tips From An IIM A Alumnus
I have always been a huge fan of the InsideIIM portal as it has often proved extremely useful in giving me fresh insights into the world of b-schools. However, the limited time I have spent on various CAT prep portals and the manner in which the discussions and comments are portrayed had, at one point of time, made me believe that those who were fortunate enough to have made it to the top b-schools in the country are nothing less than demigods while the rest of us are mere mortals who aspire to but are seldom able to attain said demigod status. I am here to tell you that top b-schools are not a distant dream but an attainable reality and that the right attitude and technique can at the very least, I hope, get you a foot in the door.
