Have you ever wondered as to why many CAT aspirants seem to fail to score well in the exam even after spending a good amount of their time mugging up the formulas and practising? Mostly it’s because many students attempt the mocks as well as the real CAT itself without a proper plan.
Reading Comprehension, or the RC parts in the Verbal Ability section is a dreaded lot. On one hand RC passages are unpredictable, and on the other, they hold a lot of weightage in the paper, specially since 2015. One cannot simply skip these questions, and they hold the key to make or break your score in the verbal section. So love them or hate them, they are around, and we have to look for ways to ace them.
Practice tests, or mocks, are on the must-do list of every serious CAT aspirant and would feature on every topper’s tips. So, we have so far come to understand that taking mock tests is of the utmost importance. To summarise,
Have you been googling for tips to prepare for MICAT? Did you also go on a wild goose hunt to reach out to their alumni? Have you also got the generic advice of study this and don’t miss that?

CAT 2018 is just a week away. It's time to take the preparations a notch higher. Which also means, you need to think about what you need to do after CAT.

In India, every year around 3-4 lakh candidates prepare for their journey to pursue MBA. They apply for multiple entrances like CAT, MAT, XAT, IBSAT, NMAT etc. But the most important among them in CAT, because it is the only single entry for the prestigious IIMs. Many students dream to pursue their post-graduation in Management from IIMs or other top institutes like SP Jain, IMI, MDI Gurgaon and many others. But entry to these institutes is not that easy. The journey has mainly two phases. Firstly, to clear entrance and then to appear for WAT, GI, PI for various colleges. The first step requires to ensure to get a score of at least above 90 percentile in CAT. The interesting about CAT is there is no age limit, so you will need to compete with people who may be having 5 years of experience to candidates who are freshers. Another thing is that in CAT candidates from mostly any discipline or background like engineering, commerce, BBA can appear. These make the competition tougher.
