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.

How I Scored 99.93%ile In Quantitative Aptitude - Akshay Chaudhari, JBIMS Mumbai

On the basis of observation, most CAT aspirants spend more than half of their time solving the quantitative sums and yet end up scoring dismally in the QA section. It took two consecutive attempts for me to figure out a few mistakes myself which I had committed in my first CAT attempt; helping me to improvise much in my second attempt and achieving 99.93%ile in the Quantitative Aptitude of the CAT exam.

4 Months At The Castle On The Hill - IIM Indore

I live a poem featuring all those who vibe and rhyme. And, this phase at IIM Indore has been incessantly adding more excerpts to my rhyme. Life is replete of experiences, that's what is making it count. The happy, tough, dull, frantic, hectic and ecstatic days, each one offering a new opportunity and a fresh perspective to life. Each day, bringing in new realisations and learnings, for some to be learnt and others to be unlearnt. This constant period of perpetual learnings and alternating phase of learning and unlearning drives the life forward moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year. These moments and days make all the difference and make one's experience at IIM Indore, an inevitable part of one's life.

Five Ways To Crack CAT In Ten Days

My initial 6 months of training in the company Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) took place in Pune, that is when I joined the coaching institute T.I.M.E for guiding me through the preparation of entrance exams for MBA and also support me with the study material. I had opted for the weekend batch. In the IT sector, there is no fixed time for leaving the office, and work pressure vary daily, thereby coming up with coaching centres’ time is not possible on weekdays.
