I m confused now.:crazyeye:

Would suggest TIME test series...the student base giving TIME test series is very huge,as compared to other MBA prep classes.So sample space you will get is quite good

@sumitrocks -- Excellent analysis
just a bit to add to VA
seeing the way VA is in CAT, better prepare from The Official Guide 11

I am not sure about Arun Sharma dude, its good for starters but then it doesn't have that CAT like zing to it u kno the variety thing! Its to plain and repititive in my opinion more suited for the CET....TRISHNA and TIME absolutely I second that

Good again and if ure bored with the one word a day thing and are in full form buy a barrons or the flash cards...is debatable how much word lists help but its better to prepare in the time wasted debating (speak of wit man)

Also, one should do some extra reading, once in a while, to build speed/patience/interest.

Arun Sharma is for the calculations intensive practice mind u CAT takers not to say that such a paper wont come (we had to eat our words last year lol).....but reasoning intensive stuff mite just be bak and then this will be grossly inadequate.....hence I feel the TIME AIMCATS old ones just solve the DI section (maths too actually) without any time frame for now......
and yea read read and read personally I feel for English u either have it or u dont as in u cant suddenly wake up one day and expect a miracle here's where how voracious a reader u have been through school and all that comes to the fore......but of course there's this luck thing that crushes warriors and puts imps on the pedestal on that day! That day guys, that day its all that matters
And lastly importantly as they all say :chillpill:.......ATB!!!


P.S: The crux or the joke of the matter last year was this that the CAT was neither like an AIMCAT or a SIMCAT or a CLASSICCAT or an ACECAT or a TOPCAT(nah I made that one up...got u!!) so its all about the practice these give u rather than how much they can imitate the CAT coz they never can...AMEN

And I state again, it's my personal opinion and it could differ.... So I don't think questioning my opinions would be any good as I only suggested based on my opinion as there maybe some people who think on similar lines as me

Hi avinav,
Yes of course buddy , we are all here to give our opinions coz there are no hard facts here. Nowhere in my post did i "question" anyones opinion. I just disagreed and was just trying to give new aspirants a comparison of last years test series.(My interpretation)

Cheers!

Hi ppl
posting after a long thime on this thread...

Got a GD/PI call for Welingkar PG, not too keen though...will convert and think whether to take it else game on for season '08

Got a job at a BPO for the time being, feel like totally messed up my carreer

Sorry for spamming...

On another note, would suggest y'll to start preparing for case studies and essays. These were asked at IIMA this year and to the best of my knowledge there was no GD as such


all the best
