Here we bring you CAT Topper, IIM Udaipur, Prateek Samantaray. Prateek is a B.Tech Graduate from Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology, Odisha, Burla. His CAT percentile was 99.42 ( VA-99.98, QA-96.91, LR-93.78).
CAT’16 is just around the corner and we are sure that all of you are gearing up for the battle that lies ahead. What is the most important thing before giving a competitive exam like CAT? Is it preparation? Is it the knowledge that you possess? Is it the god-given gifts (to love mathematics)? No, it is none of the above mentioned things, but it is the confidence and self-belief that you take into CAT. While the other things play a vital role, they fall a bit short when you don’t have the self-belief that you will crack CAT.
“Most often there is no next time, no time-outs and no second chances. Most often it’s now or never!” once said, Alan Bennett. No matter how veracious and unquestionable this quote may seem but still don’t make the mistake of accepting it without a pinch of salt. Not at least in the case of an event like CAT. Yes, I might be sounding contrary to what you would have heard from a plethora of advisers out there but never make those 3 hours the typical “do or die” stuff or you’ll invite a hell lot of mental stress while solving the paper. Don’t encumber yourself with this thought and be relaxed thinking that there’s always a second chance. This is a prerequisite for all the other tips that follow in this write-up to come to fruition.
With few days left for CAT, a lot of anxiety must be building up. Some people must have given IIFT, which would have provided a good net practice for the D-Day.
A belling the CAT preparation is never complete without a thorough revision of your hard work. So here's what you can do maximise your preparation in the last lap.
It’s high time that you gear up - in the perfect way - for the D-Day as it’s just 7 days away. Studying concepts, practicing hard for days and nights and giving mock tests would have already given you a good grip for CAT. But not utilizing these last 7 days to the best of your ability might pull you back from your targeted goal. And when you have just so much to recap and revise, managing this precious time becomes essential. Remember, if you cannot manage time, you cannot manage anything. If you are a person who can never stick to your time, try being before time – trust me, it really helps!
After attending the rigorous study sessions, memorising the short cut formulae, appearing in the never ending mock tests and evaluating their performances time and again, 2.5 lakh aspirants await the day for which they toiled so hard. The Common Admission Test (CAT), widely considered as the toughest entrance exam in India, is only 7 days away. However, the last week is filled with anxiety and anticipation for the aspirants. Having sailed through the same storm a year ago, I offer a few signboards for the serious aspirant, which I feel may come handy.
