Hey kartik.....
The tried and tested funda for grammer is again READING READING and READING ...... its tested on me :whatthat:...... I took reading as in july everyday 1hr-1.5hr NON STOP (no breaks)..... till CAT 2007 (i.e 4 mnths )I could see my %line in VA go up .... in Mock Cats from mere 83%tile i scored 98 in CAT ......
Also, I think that the "language correction" cannot be learnt, it is developed with time and you cannot always open a book to check what should be used- "since" or "till" .....
It comes down to the "habbit" of coming across the phrases frequently and implementiig your habit in the actuall test . :smile:

I strongly recommend READING for VA ...... rest depends on "Again" the sincerity you show towards yours prep.

Karthik bhai i think ur really slogging quite a lot so early.

Relax u will make it man.

Read a lot as shakaal said.Tat will really make a difference if u devote something like 1 hr on weekdays and around 3 hrs on weekends till july .And then wen u start taking mocks u will see the difference.

At present i m reading Good to great by jim collins.

Btw which mocks are u guys planning to take for CAT 08

I have zeroed down on TIME and IMS.

Cheers

also for grammar part it is better to go thru GMAT stuff . becoz nowadays CAT english is drifted towards GMAT pattern .it is a mix of both logical and rules. last year ive gone thru GMAT material for my verbal preperation, it helped me alot.

HI!!!:smile:

Well if u r totally new to reading .. then i wud suggest u to start off with some fiction... try reading books by jeff archer, john grisham, etc... u ll find them interesting... then when u get a habit of reading.. then u can start non fiction.. i am telling u this as u ll find fiction a bit interesting... so u can continue reading... startin with non fiction might get u bored initially... also i wud suggest u not to read books only with the intention of preparing for CAT... take interest in what u r reading... Happy reading!!!;-)
