"Follow these seven steps and the SUCCESS follows you."
How should I prepare for CAT 2012?
The basic skills and fundamentals remain unchanged. You don't have to worry about focusing upon new areas of study. As long as you have prepared well, all you need to do is practise mock tests keeping in mind the new timing system. Along with focus and self-belief.
On What things I have to FOCUS on:
1.Finding a question similar to something you have practiced before has a very calming effect on you and will help boost your confidence. The best way to achieve this is to practice all kinds of questions. If you've covered everything, there is very little chance of getting caught unaware.
2.There are some very good modules available for learning, practising and testing. Make good use of them! Modules like Test Gym and MBA-on-Demand are especially helpful in this final, critical period. Moreover, these are available online and give you the added advantage of familiarising yourself with the online medium.
There are certain mistakes that many students make. You can steer clear of them by using these techniques:
3)Divide your section into sets. Read all the questions in each block and assign them an equal amount of time. These time limits should be sacrosanct. There can be nothing worse than missing out on an easy question just because it appears towards the end of the section. Thus, selecting the right questions is extremely important.
