starting CAT prep now in August end - 21-08-2005, 04:26 AM

Hello ppl,


This is my first post on Pagalguy. This question has probably been asked before, but still here goes..
I'm going to start my CAT prep right now & dreaming of getting into one of the top 3 IIM's...
Given the span of 3 months, what strategy, prep resources(notes), coaching classes would you advise?
I can read pretty fast & have a good vocab, so I don't think the verbal section will be as much of a problem. So, quant is probably going to be my focus .

I'll appreciate it, if you could give me loads of suggestions regarding this esp w.r.t. resources & strategy...

Thanks in advance:-)

Cheers

....Let me tell you tha t i have answered this question....My prep started only after IMS's first simCAT last year, which was on the 5th of sept...I got a measly 71 percentile in that so hope you believe that i'm tellin you the truth...

Thanks, Neumann...chked out the posts & pretty useful....gives me a bit of hope...but you haven't really elucidated on a short time strategy...
I started studying today & wrote the CAT Feb 2004 paper...got 41 right in verbal in 45 min...but really lost my way in quant(have forgotten all fundae)...got 6 right in section 2...in section 3 had to leave DI & got 10 more in logical reasoning, right...totally ran out of time

now for the analysis:-)

thanks, & guess this thread should be locked....although its really really difficult finding something specific in Pagalguy...millions of posts :-)

But guys my Quant sucks. help me. What am i supposed to do. I hate maths!
