it was my lack of prepn in VA...nd this time will work hard nd not run away frm my weakness(after all CAT improves u as a person too..hehe)

i followed QA->VA->DI...QA was strongest....so it used to give me confidence nd overcome initial nervousness of paper...i felt more comfortable...
then VA...used to go slow....shud hv worked harder.........
nd then DI...also VA provided sort of temporary break from number crunching in QA and DI...so tht was my strategy...on final day shud hv attempted few more in DI...
also i used to have gud buffer time in end....though on final day i went too slow in eng...nd cudn't utilize it well...
every1 shud hv strategy tht suits him/her..
(though i am not one of 100%iler but i wished to share my experiences nd strategy...)

Well for fellow puys ->:rockon:lets blast this time........

Dude we sail in the same boat.

cheers

it doesn't matter whether you're a 100 %iler or not...the thing is everyone can share something useful on this very topic...:-)
as told earlier i followed the same strategy but my problem was my accuracy...and despite the fact VA and QA were my strongest...couldn't give a scintillating performance...
CAT'07 completely shocked me by showing a pathetic score in VA whereas in XAT i scored a gud 99 %ile in VA (OA-98.5)...for sometime it resulted in my belief in myself that it was just a mere tukka...;-)
neways we have time to redeem ourselves now...

:-)bhai bilkul ban sakte hain bade aadmi...
there's no age bar on CAT...
I've seen many retired people taking CAT as a brain teaser exercise...
the TOI contained many such instances in the week after the D-DAY last year...
