Do You Need To Appear For CAT Again?

With CAT 2019 done and dusted, it's time for some tough decisions. With the change in the difficulty level in CAT, especially the VA-RC section, things have taken an unexpected turn. Given that the official answer key is not out yet, it's very difficult to be certain of the actual number of attempts and correct attempts. On top of that, receiving different percentile ranges from different centres can be a bit confusing as well. And all of these things point towards two questions, 'Which B-School can I make it to?' and/or 'Should I take CAT again?'. You need to more prepared for both the eventualities. There are a ton of decent B-Schools at various percentile ranges which you should consider and apply to. For the second question, there are a lot of factors you need to take into account. Also, there's still time to make it a good B-School. The way we see it, in the end, you'll be going to ONE B-School. So, it all boils down to cracking ONE entrance examination. That opens your doors to a prestigious B-School. With IIFT this Sunday, you should focus more on IIFT for the time being, instead of sweating too much about appearing next year.

A Complete Guide On Mock Test Analysis By An IIM Alumna

Attempting a Mock CAT is pretty much like having the courage to put yourself in front of a mirror that shows you the ugliest parts of you in the backdrop of your hearts’ greatest wish for the moment. Sixty times (and I'm not saying that's the ideal number) I put myself out there, and around fifty times I was shattered and almost gave up. You see, there I was studying for hours, covering topics, working out problem after problem but somehow those 180 minutes got the better of me. That in turn made it very difficult for me to analyse what went wrong. My fragile ego would squirm at the thought of witnessing the tragic combination of silly mistakes and desperate guesses interspersed between should-have-beens.
