Hi all,

I am a 3rd yr student at IIIT-Allahabad and will be appearing for CAT 08.As for beignning i have joined CL classes and am regular in attending those.Obviously there is pressure for semester studies also most imp being my sem project.i just wanted to ask what should be the effective strategy for my prep....After appearing for my Engg enterances i just realised the reason i couldn't achieved as much i wanted to was my poor time managment and lithargic attitude(like ok i will do this tomorrow,le me sleep tonite)...I never used to make any deadlines and even if i made one i could never stick to it as only after a couple of days i lagged behind way 2 much
and so gave up.I sincerely believe I have it in me to b an IIM grad and so i just needed as to how to plan my CAT prep... By this i am not askin to give me schedule of say for ex: CAT prep from evening 6 to 11 at nite ....I just want to ask say for ex: by the end of october 07 wat all should be covered by me...for ex: if i am reading "WORD POWER MADE EASY " by norman lewis for my vocabs by wat time should i be able to finish it and wat should be the next move and how to go abt it...Also i would like to no how should one start prep for VA i.e. books recommended,Strategy etc for CAT....I hope this post is useful to all....

Thanx in advance

@patriot123....Frankly speaking, it takes 6 months preparation to crack CAT....But since you are starting well in early, start with basics like reading newspaper, magzines, memorizing 20*20 table, square roots etc.
YOu are the best person to know what are your shortcomings and scedule for the day/weeks/months, so plan accordingly and ive genuine 2-3 hours daily.

5 hours from now, may lead to burnout ,even before the CAT 08 arrives. So, plan and adhere to it.

All the best.
