Be very careful about accuracy. It's proven not attempts but accuracy will sail you through. I have two instances from previous year CAT'13 =>32 attempts 99.89 36 attempts 99.90.
These mocks don't take into account of accuracy.
Will post my score once I try it.
A disastrous start to the Mock Season
QA - 12(π π )
Verbal - 29
OA - 41
A mock I would like to forget.
How CL is computing percentiles this time ?
Also, SIS analysis has changed a lot since 2012 . No more sectionals cutoffs, Toppers List, Time Elapsed per question along with difficulty of questions .
I am finding the new analysis hopeless . How you all are managing analysis this time ?
This one I wrote few years back, my take on RCs
I know all of you are well read individuals,100% accuracy naturally comes to you irrespective of position of stars in your horoscope. So take my gibberish with a pinch of salt. This is an attempt to let you know(in case you are interested to read through) what I have been following this year, where I used to get entangled, how I have improved a bit. Today, just before writing this post, I have picked up two LOD 4 passages from Sujit Kumar. I see except one I got all other correct out of 8 questions. Which used to happen in dream in previous years, and in reality RC turned out to be nightmares(I had a record,yes an unbeatable record, of getting 1/8 questions correct in one of the CL PMs taken last year.) I used to read passages as a whole without even knowing about what to read, neglecting minute details and concentrating on junk ideas or examples used to be regular affairs. But on a fine morning I had a chance to attend a free class of Santosh Sir(No!!!it's not an advertisement) , where for the first time I learnt how to read a passage......This is the primary purpose of my today's post...How to read a passage?
Rule 1: Use the highlighter to underline geography of a passage.
Rule 2: Concentrate on main clauses. Neglect examples unless you have not deciphered anything from the aforementioned sentence.
Rule 3:Always notice what is stated after "that".[The Satrean man realizes THAT there is more existence than mere existing, and THAT there is more to life than mere living.]
Rule 4: Give emphasis on what author is going to convey rather than not to(both can be presented simultaneously in a passage)
Rule 5: Be ultra cautious when there is a switching word like "but" , "however" etal.(mostly you can expect a question from here.)
Rule 6: The most important lines are 1st para 1st, 1st para last,2nd para 1st,last para last lines. In most of the cases these sentences convey the main idea of the excerpt.
Rule 7:You can even scribble on your paper to jot down the main ideas(use sms language) And then "connect the dots". You are done!!!
I have been following this rules while reading a passage,trying to inculcate these methodologies in day to day reading, results are nothing great around 65-75% accuracy in few mocks I have taken but nonetheless better than 12.5% once achieved In my next post I will try to write about the nature of questions, though in any case I will leave the recently popular "if you get a chance to interview the author"question. Not that I know I will not get that chance, but I have started believing accuracy matters in CAT!!
My first Mock of the season:
QADI = 15C/22A = 38 π
VALR = 20C/29A = 51 π
Total = 35C/51A = 89 π
The mock's difficulty was very similar to my actual CAT-2013 paper (kudos to CL). Felt very rusty in QADI since this is the first time I did anything remotely related with CAT prep since my CAT-2013 paper. Should've gotten atleast a 100 in this.
QA: 54
VA: 46....Extremely Deceptive
OA: 100 π
Please explain this:
In addition, any tool that lends impetus to exerting control and authority becomes an agent of power. These tools include money, political access and the use of force. Hence, when someone has money, we say β¬Εhe has power. β¬? These tools can be used coercively in relationships to assert domination. Whether these relationships exist on a micro scale between husband and wife or on a macro scale between various political parties, by narrowly defining power through the lens of domination, we limit the relationships of society to a never-ending struggle for influence and authority.____________________________
a) When viewed through a lens of dominance, there is an assumption that relations between people must conform to the dictates of competition.
b)Allegorically speaking, one arm of the body cannot be in a struggle for power with the other arm.
c)However, this narrow view ignores the extraordinary potential of the human spirit which has equal capacity for cooperation and reciprocity.
d)Viewed through this lens, empowerment is seen as the rise of vulnerable and marginalised communities so that they assert more control and authority over decisions that impact their lives.
The Analysis part in SIS is very bad, seems some free Mocks are giving a better Analysis than CL's. Neither can I see the Video analysis, which some said is extremely useful...
