someone had said ...
by making mistakes you never learn how not to do mistales ... al you learn is how not to do the previous mistakes , and many ppl dont even learn that ...( an approx version of what he said )


similarly all the coaching centers ... they never make you ready for the coming cat ... they only prepare you on how to do better in the " previous cat "..... and since cat pattern hardly remains the same ..... whats the point.


i have a feeling that this year all the coaching centers will constantly keep giving absurdly tough VA sections.... to keep in sync wid nov 19th paper and keep experimenting various paterns ...

lets c.... i dunno abt classroom caoching but giving mocks certainly helps you prepare ....


men never died of hardwork ....
....... they only die of boredom .

well puys I an't going to say something totally new..the MOCKS, SIMS et al help one in time management and time allocation of the sections.i guess all of know what our weaknesses really are and to be honest we doint need some one to tell us that.in my case Quants being the Achilles' feet.........but the thing one actually gains out of the N number of tests is that we get to know how BAD we actually are and how much catching up needs to be done.........The most important thing i guess out of this whole MUndane process of writting a Test nearlly every SUNDAY and then feeling bad about the scores the whole week and then come Sunday again ..............is that we get used to SITTING in one place for 2.5 hrs at a stretch scratching our head.....the best part is that WE actualy PAY these guys to SCREW our happiness.jokes apart MOCK test definitely a GO GO.


Atb to all for Calls GD/PI and those giving CAT07 a shot.

Tschau Freunde.

all said and done. i think anyone of us can make paper like them and start test series that is better managed and hell lot of cheaper. these coaching institutes are looters playing with our emotions they ought to be sued.


just want to catch my dreamz.......:grab:

well i think what amanonarun did smartly...rest of time students like me who scored badly could not gauge...ie prepare for tuffer vas....
i thing which i have learnt is not to get overconfident...life(this case cat) can make u go down to ur knees...

my take on different instis..
ims best in va...
time best in di/qa
cl best in shocks and surprises..their mocks included more than one option correct which came in iift....
