Lets work for CAT-08 now...

Hi Dude,

Its really one of the hard luck I saw regarding CAT.:whatthat:
Welcome to the place.

Please carry on such prep and scores.
Next time you'ii definitely get 99+ in with other scores remaining the same.

i have a small query...
whether to prefer material from any coaching institute or individual books...?
and more precisely how to proceed for verbal...?

Answer to Q No 1

Insti materials are well planned and structured.
But if you are very good in at least one section(measure it like this:It is the section in which you will definitely score 99+ anytime irrespective of no of test takers)then you can go for individual books.

Answer to Q No 2

I am still finding.
If I get it,I will mail it to you from IIM mail id.

@ Shaakaal

What about unknown words which I faced while reading?
Since I feel discontinuity in reading when I check new words from dictionary.
Any suggestions!!..

First of all you scared me by introducing a new section!!..

Your schedule purely depends on some attributes like
1. Your current prep level
2. Your past CAT experience
3. Time available at weekdays and weekends,etc.

But to start with arrange any insti materials and try some practice problems.

1. Five point someone
2. One night at the rate call center
3. Da vinci Code
3. False Impression --> Jeffery Archer
4. See you at the top --> Zig Ziglar
5. The Google Story.
6. baaki inn sabke baad bataunga

Hi Arun .....
Discontinuity ..!!!! pehle continuity to aaye...... <kidding>
I think 1 hr includes everything ..including the dictionary meanings also ...... its just that you want to look for the meanings side by side or after reading everything...... all that matters is that you DO, :2gunfire:FOR SURE look for the meanings
