A CA’s Ride To The 99th Percentile | Manas Sathe, CAT 2020

My MBA goal has been a long-coveted dream. My father is a proud alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, and I grew up hearing countless stories about his wonderful time there. I also attended his batch’s alumni reunion at IIM A, saw the beautiful campus and learned first-hand about the outstanding achievements that its alumni demonstrate. I also saw that the campus had a dedicated room for music, a dear passion of mine. I left inspired and decided that I MUST pursue MBA too. While my motivations may have changed over time, the dream still lives on.

“People Ignore Me But I Can Be The Game Changer” – Yours Truly, Verbal Section

The verbal section is usually taken very lightly. People tend to focus more on quants and DI & LR and think the verbal can be handled easily. But there is one thing which most of us forget. Verbal can’t get into your head in one day or even one month. It is a habit, it has to be made a habit. As I have always said, CAT is all about consistency and the Verbal section is a testament to that.

Acing The Last Leg Of CAT 2020 - Tips By IIM Rohtak Students

Acing The Last Leg Of CAT 2020 - Tips By IIM Rohtak Students

CAT 2020 will be held on November 29th, and there are only a few weeks of preparation time left. If leveraged well, these weeks can play a defining role in the final verdict. The preparation for the CAT exam needs to be as strategic as the final attempt itself. While laying the groundwork for a win, it is essential to keep in mind that every section is equally important. When starting any section, be sure about the strategy. Give mocks at the same time slot as your exam. Sometimes, the results of the mocks are unsatisfactory. Remember that mock scores are just a reflection of your preparation; they do not guarantee how much you will score overall. Perform a thorough analysis and evaluate what could be done better. A positive mindset is crucial at this stage.  CAT will reward you for picking the low hanging fruits first. Similarly, it massively penalizes you for wasting time on hard questions.
