70%ile To 99+%ile In The VA Section In 60 Days - An Engineer's Journey

Verbal Ability section is nothing short of a Gordian knot, more so if you’re an engineer. The kinematics, mathematics, and dynamics that you study in your undergrad leave you with very less knack for reading genres like psychology, economics, sociology, politics or even fiction. Well, take a sigh of relief! You need not be a Milton or a Shakespeare or even a voracious reader to ace the Verbal Ability section. Yes, you read it right, and that’s because VA is not equal to vocabulary or literature. It’s about your ability to comprehend while you read. It’s about filtering important information from a plethora of noise.

How To Prepare For CAT And XAT While Working - Aroon's Journey To XLRI Jamshedpur

Is this your last attempt at CAT/XAT or other management exams? If yes, I was in a similar position a year ago. After having failed twice, convincingly, at all the management exams, I decided to make one last attempt. Surprisingly, in my first attempt at CAT in 2013, I scored a decent 96.2 percentile. I still don’t know how. I did not appear for the XAT in 2014 because I was sure I was going to fail miserably if I decided to take it. I was scared partly because of all the puffery around it as being the toughest management entrance exam.

My Journey To XLRI Jamshedpur - CAT And XAT Preparation Tips

Being the topper of my school, I always thought that I owe a responsibility to take the name of the school forward, to make my teachers proud and to serve as an inspiration to my juniors. After judging my abilities and areas of interest, I decided to go for MBA from a top b-school. But in today's competitive world it is easier said than done. This was my third CAT/XAT attempt but in terms of serious preparation, the count of attempts is two. I appeared for CAT/XAT for the first time in the final year of my graduation. After not getting the desired results, I joined Infosys thinking that having work experience will increase my chances of getting admission in a top b-school. Two years later I decided to prepare again when there were just 5-6 months left for CAT but I found it difficult to take out enough time in which I can feel refreshed. The primary reason behind that was I didn't like my job and I felt exhausted. This is when I thought that I have to make a choice whether I want to remain in a job which I hate and prepare half-heartedly for MBA exams or to take a risk and give my best shot. I chose the second option and started my preparation 4 months before CAT. Here are a few tips from my side:
