Re: CAT 2008 Aspirants - 13-02-2008, 04:25 PM

So here goes my CAT story.....

I alwys thought that i would one day write this after i have conquered CAT but as they say MAN PROPSES MAN DISPOSES......

Here are my cat score:

CAT2004:86.5%
CAT2005:71%
CAT2006:NA
CAT2007:78%


CAT 2004

i was in 7th sem of my engg when i frst came to know bout cat(like many of you),most of our cllg junta was busy jonin CAT Coachin institutes,i had been a mediocre student till thn who was just about to face harsh reality of life,so thought why not do somethn gr8 in life,so wat did i could do,i was not a cricket plyer,not an actor,not a singer,not a roadie.. ,so wat does a normal avg student like me do...hmmm....he goes for the fav thng like most of us nowadyss are doin and thatz go for cat..

i mean it had become a fashion statement then(and its still is....)

Q) wat r u doin these dayzz......??
A) I am preparing for cat....(ohh man and the Questionare thinks this boy is a genious..)


so i too joined a coaching insti in delhi....was 40 km frm my home so every weekend i used to go to delli,most of the time was gone in commutin rather than studyin and same goes for the classes thr..it was like mini cllg thr waith thousands of students coming thr all with dreams,chasing the elusive feline but i really thought how many knew why they were here....atleast i didnt

thrs one funny incidence that i cant forget till date,me and my friend were returinig after getting cat2004 forms and we stopped midway at an eating joint lunch and i had the forms in my hand,it was the frst day of the forms getting out..(really xcited i was to get them first) and as i entered many uncles and aunty came to me and asked about the way to procure forms(all were thnk mera beta bhi cat karega.......),and then frm nowhere thr came couple of boyzz to our table,they were smilin and i asked them watzz the reason dude why u laughin and they just asked me u givin cat for frst time i said yeahhh...and again they started laughin, i said watzz the matter dude and he simply said just give the xam and knw urself.....i was like...i later found out that they too had given cat couple of times and were now in a C class Insti for thr mba....i was like full of confidence that no ,matter wat i am going to crack cat..

wel time flew by,i wouldnt say that i didnt study,i used to study till late in nght but somehow i felt i was lagging somewhere and it was not until the d day passed by adn results came that i came to knw of my lagging,and that was that i hadnt prepared my basics right and not only basics there were othr reasons as well,like too much pressure to perform,attitude lacking...so cat04 came and went by........i was like hmmmm,i could have done better.........and so with this feelin closed my cat 04 xprnc.

see its gotten this long for just cat04 xprnc,i would have to write a blog down i guess...:P

to be continued if public doesnt feel bored aftr goin thru this post......:P

Wel i can say about muneer...

its a kind of quick book for cat i.e if u r really clear with all ur fundas and are lukin for maximum practice of questions and test pprs thn go for this book but if u r lukin for basics and startin from scratch then i wouldnt suggest you to take this book upfront,prepare ypur basics wel and then go for this book later.......

I found there were a lot of mistakes in Muneer's book. I'd recommend:
1. Good ol' textbooks to clear fundas
2. Arun Sharma for practising all kinds of problems
3. Trishna's quant book for speed building (This one is published by TIME and it has a huge number of questions)
4. Think without ink for speed building (awesome fundas to skip steps)

I would definitely recommend Trishna's Quant book for practice but at a later stage. It's better to be thorough with the fundamentals now which can be achieved by solving TIME's 1st set quant material. Trishna's is very similar to TIME material but doesn't have as much theory or formulae before each chapter.

if you are confident of all your basics and in your case i think that you rae june would suffice...but gain its a decision thats best upto an individual..cause only you know your level of prepration but june is the best tiem for veterans............
