ur analysis is actually inspiring dude. plz plz plz help me in my preparation for cat 2k5. ive got da material. ppl say uve to be smart in your preparation. is dere any so-called smart way to do preparation?
or shud i just start readin da theory and solve questions in da package? i am a little confused hearin ppl's comments and advices on how to go about crackin cat. i am relying on you coz i myself am doin my engg. ive just given my 3rd yr exams. now dat i am free,i desperately wanna make da nxt 2 months count.
plz help me out as to how to go about it.
Ur determination and ur will made me believe that yes I can do it and the belief to make it irrespective of your strenghts and weaknesses has really got me thinking seriously for CAT.....
Ur post really made me sit up... I was very confussed abt taking CAT the 2nd time this year.....but after reading your posts all my inhibitions are gone......
Thank u soooo much......
All the Best to everyone prpg for CAT'05 and to Chandoo for ur future .....
Hey hey....u all seem to be so much bothered with the reading thing of CAT...but to tell u the truth...ultimately all this reading wont add so much...u know.
U may feel that u r fast but actually u reduce ur speed advantage with the errors.
The truth is over the next six months ..only thing that will help u in getting across the VA/RC section will be ur approach to the paper. Thats rite people the ultimate thing that will matter is the approach to the paper and how efficiently u all do it.
Please bear in mind that i am not trying to discourage anyone from doing reading practice. But the reading part will only help some one over a period of few years and u cant really jump ur levels up in six months.
But U r the best judge and Reading more will only help...so keep on doing it
Regards

There are 10 kinds of people in this world- those who can understand binary and those who can't.
The main reason for me taking the CAT is to convince others (read : the Dean @ the IIMs of my ability).Becoz thats the only way of getting into the institute. CAT is an aptitude test and the top scorers may not always be the best managers. But what is important is that without a 99 percentile its very rare for any 1 to get a call. So the bottom line is do you want to know your real aptitude or do you want to get into IIM-A? Agreed some people may be able to crack the CAT without preparation but most of us need the preparation.

Is it really necessary to prepare for CAT?
Am no kidding here guys.......
Its been my belief that CAT is just an aptitude test and it requires no preparation!
All CAT does is test your 'basic' language and analytical skills.A majority of us would be able to answer most of the questions if given infinite time.So CAT just puts one under 'pressure' because you have 150 questions to answer in 120 mins.In a way,CAT just simulates the working condition one might face when he/she becomes a manager.So CAT does nothing but assess an individual's potential to work as a manager!So why prepare for it?
Again,look what happens when you prepare....(There are people who prepare for 2 years or even more!Please!Am not trying to demean their efforts in anyway!).......When you prepare for an aptitude test like CAT,you are continuously pushing youself to become something that you are actually not. You might even crack CAT.......but believe me!its not the 'real you' who has cracked it......you may not be able to reproduce such a result at all times!For those 2 hours you had 2 years of preparation.......you WILL NOT have 2 years to prepare for every two hours in your work as a manager!Preparation can only create a pseudo-aptitude to crack CAT on that day.....nothing more!It infact spoils the chance to assess ones 'real' aptitude!
So.......DONT PREPARE!
Btw,..... I got calls from ACLIK.........n i did not prepare for CAT.Absolutely nothing more than the 2 hours i spent taking the test.
great going............inspired me a lot ...... u still there in the PG ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them
all yourself.
i am a engg student from not an iit or nit.
i am from ordinary engg college
i wanna know that whether there is priority for iitians or nitians over otheres or not
Hey Dude..
i dont think there is any preference as such for IITians ....i am not from IIT ans still made it..
and IITians are few in number...its just that there is a lot of hype abt IIT +IIM grads...which leads to a mistaken idea that u need to be an iitian to make it through to the IIMs..
sibs
