Six Guidelines To Avoid Missing The Deadlines For Application Forms Of B-Schools

Working in an IT firm, I had decided to pursue MBA after 2 years of work experience and had started my preparation for MBA entrance exam CAT (Common Admission Test). In the IT sector, there is no fixed time for leaving the office, and the work pressure varies daily, thereby time management is an essential factor in filling up the application forms of B-schools before the deadlines and after taking an informed decision whether to apply in a particular university.

Scoring 99%ile+ In VA Is Different From Scoring 99%ile+ In The Other Two Sections

Scoring 99%ile+ In VA Is Different From Scoring 99%ile+ In The Other Two Sections

Scoring 99+ in VA is different from scoring 99+ in the other two sections, which is why we see a lot of people struggle in VA despite scoring well in the other sections. It is a section where even coaching classes haven’t found a clear-cut formula for. A major part of scoring well in VA is getting a good command over the language itself, which takes time. But that in itself isn’t enough; when I took the first few mocks I was surprised to see I was struggling in the VA section because, being an avid reader, that was one section I wasn’t worried about. With time I realized the trickiness of this section because understanding the context of the question is very important. It is very easy to misinterpret the question and is also probably why people get a lot of negatives in VA because people actually think their answer is right, which is unlike QA or DILR where you definitely know when you’re wrong.
