CAT preparation idea !!!!

CAT (Common admission Test) is conducted by IIMs for the management
program. CAT is said to be the toughest of all the competitive exams in
the Country because of high degree of Competition in CAT to get into
the management courses of prestigious Indian Institutes of Management.
Also most of the B-school in India nowadays has adopted this test and
they use CAT scores of candidates as eligibility criteria for further
Admission process.





The first thing to keep mind about CAT is that they are seeking
candidates with good conceptualized knowledge, analytical skills and
decision making capabilities.


Cat is not an easy entrance test due to very high competition. And
Smart work rather that hard Work is needed to get Through Cat exam.
Some step wise smart techniques For Preparing correctly for cat are
discussed here.







Firstly, The Candidate must gather Information about CAT, such as
when the exam is to be held so that he/she comes to know how much time
is left for CAT preparation. Then the composition of the Exam paper
should be worked out such as what are the components in the paper
Usually the CAT exam paper includes questions about quantitative
ability, data interpretation, data sufficiency, logical reasoning,
reading comprehension and verbal ability. The duration of test is 2.5
hours.



Nest, the candidate should Work out its strengths/Weaknesses so
that he/she can decide what and how much to prepare. The strengths
should be worked out more and the weaknesses have to be prepared more
to get through that section in the exam. There is no need to be
nervous after knowing your weaknesses. Just try to get as much
information you can to make this weakness to strength. Think every time
that you can do it. 





Next step is to organize your studies an appropriate time table
that gives enough time to study and rest also as its more important than
anything else to keep your Body and mind inn good state. So create a
time table the suites Your physical and, mental Terms.


Don’t ignore your mistakes and evaluate your performance in your
Weak areas regularly. It’s very important and ignorance can is very
harmful.





The candidate needs to prepare For GD and Interview as well to
Crack CAT. Do prepare for them and keep working out on the important
topics for GD and Important Interview Questions.


The above points present the framework for a structured CAT
Preparation and if done properly with right concept and positive Faith
in mind, Cat is easy to Crack like any other Exam.


All the Best To Your Success!!!

CAT, as you all are aware of by now, tests an MBA aspirant's abilities in
three different sections, namely Â* Quantitative ability (QA), Data
interpretation (DI) & Logical Reasoning (LR) and Verbal Ability
constituted by the English usage (EU) and Reading comprehension (RC) portions. In this article, we will look at how our reading habits, if properly
channelized can be effectively used to enhance our CAT preparation in a variety of ways, especially in the Verbal part.

But from 1999 the trend changed, now all three sections have equal
weightage The pattern and type of questions also showed a distinct change in 2001, stress was more on usage of words while regulars like Para jumbles were dropped. The best way to gather them will be general reading. 

Even though all the coaching institutes give word list they serve only a limited purpose as the stress in CAT is on usage of words and phrases rather than on their dictionary meaning.
Another aspect (especially looking at the last year paper) as far as CAT
questions regarding reading comprehension are concerned is that they were relatively easy as far as the length and the subject matter of the
passages were concerned. But the questions were largely essence-centric as opposed to the data-centric questions which were asked in previous CAT examinations.

It could have been cracked with ease provided the reader was used to
reading a wide variety of topics and assimilate new information very fast.
Keeping this in mind the 3 most effective weapons in our hands will be :
Vocabulary with stress on idiomatic usage Extremely fast reading speed
Reading a wide variety of topics

Now let us see how our reading habits can help us achieve all the 3
above-mentioned objectives. We all usually indulge in two distinct
types of
reading, which are performed differently Â*
>
§ Pleasure reading Â* Comics, novels etc.
§ Study / Information reading Â* Academic books, Newspapers,
Magazines etc.

But, CAT or any other MBA entrance requires a combination of
'skimming' and
demanding' reading.

For this I would recommend a regular reading of atleast two newspapers
like The Hindu, Economist, Business Standard etc. and atleast one
magazine like Frontline. 

Lets start with vocabulary. In addition to reading that is mentioned
above, lots of resources are available on the net like www.yourdictionary.com which sends you a new word with meaning and usage by mail every day for free, so do search for these and similar resources in the web. Another good one is the word power booklets published by Readers Digest. So please ensure that you spend around 2 hours on general reading. By any means possible build a large repertoire of words and be clear as to their usage.

Second is speed-reading which is immensely beneficial for attempting
RC. The good thing about RC is that once you have gone through the passage properly the chances of making mistakes is minimal. In CAT you can expect passages from such diverse topics like psychology and economics to rocket science and medicine, like in 2001 there was a passage from a critique on a Kurosowa film. You can also try some speed reading techniques, which can make a dramatic improvement to your reading speed.

The third issue is that of diverse reading. As mentioned above, most
of the passages are not what we read in day-to-day life. Whenever we read something with which we are not conversant with, the technical terms and nuances involved prove to be a red herring. They require more understanding than a topic we already know about. A commerce graduate would like a topic on say mutual funds while a software engineer would love a passage on say data storage mechanism. While its agreed that one can not be an expert in all the fields at once, the more diverse once reading habits are, the better are his chances of increasing his comfort level with new topics.For practicing reading comprehension questions you can go for online verbal practice questions which are availible for free.Finally, as a bonus, your general awareness, which is of paramountimportance for GDs as well as Interviews, improve exponentially too.
Remember that one needs to stress more on opinions formed over issues, rather than remember facts and figures. One needs to consciously try and create one's own stand on issues. For this reading editorials would be extremely beneficial, especially sections like Black&White which
features on the Sunday Times of India.

Some other Principles which can be used for effective reading for RC are:

Ø Make a reading speed check everyday. This means that always
keep an eye on your reading speed and count the number of words you are able to read and understand on a daily basis.

Ø Try to push your speed everyday. Comprehension will pick up in due course of time.

Ø Read the editorials everyday and try to summarize the main points.
Also time your reading in the editorial.

I feel, six months is more than enough for the preparation of CAT. During these six months students should show discipline and determination by studying regularly for at least 2 hrs a day. I believe strongly that discipline, determination and purposeful practice will lead you towards success in the CAT. CAT is neither a test of intelligence nor is a measure of your intellectual capability. You can achieve a good score by extensive preparation and purposeful practice.

 There is no set or defined syllabus for the CAT exam. It is designed to assess the natural ability of a person towards their preferred field. Hence, it is designed to test the inclination of the applicant towards managerial tasks and roles. Mainly, the questions are asked from Quantitative Aptitude, Reading Comprehension & Verbal Ability, and Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency.

No there is no fixed structure of CAT. The test can be in various combinations like 4 sections (each timed for 30 mins or non-timed), 2 or 3 sections again timed or non-timed etc. But the questions are based largely on the four areas, Problem solving, Data Interpretation, Reading Comprehension and Verbal ability.
