One more bit of info...Did you know that marking on the OMR sheet with about 100 attempts would take about 15 minutes...Imagine if you can perfect the art of marking on the OMR sheet in about 5 seconds...That would mean you could do the marking in 7-8 minutes..(seven minutes saved is valuable ?)
So read as much as you can ......and if you do maths and DI ...just focuss on accuracy for the time being

k guyz on to prep for RC...i have few doubts in it.
ultimately u have to answer the questions at the end of the passage.So do u guyz just strafe through the passage aimlessly or focus on something in the passge and make points(mentally) related to that??
While practising many advice to start reading different articles..but what shud we focus on???just read the article and leave it???make fine points outaa that article???

Hmm!
So u don't want to go through the "list of threads" and want the veterans who have already posted in previous discussions to post again for u?

Guys i would suggest u to search and go through existing discussions...
We have some good discussions on tips/fundaes for CAT preps...go through them and in case u still have queries...bump those threads...

Good Luck

hi all,

i agree with akshat.....

and if the veterans can come over and have a discussion on various
issues.....it will be of great help....
may be not reinvent the wheel ..... but get some friendly advice

I wud suggest that u go by reading the questions first...
By reading the questions first
1) u will know the area to which the RC pertains - current affairs or history or religion..
2) Also u can judge the toughness of the RC, whether it is direct or inference based..
3) sometimes, u will given a phrase from the para and will be asked the meaning of it.. so while u read the RC, u can just underline the phrase and move on and come back directly to the para while asnwering the questions
4) largely helps to skip the unwanted portions of the RC if u had read the questions first.
Lastly, it worked for me.. I moved on from 3 RCs per paper to n or n-1 RCs per paper

Hi All,

I have writen CAT twice. A couple of things to keep in mind :

1. Pls pls do not change ur strategy at the last min(urs truly is famous for doing tht), come up with strategies which work for you right from the beginning.

2. Do not try to adopt anyone elses strategy, you could take a couple of tips from them...but try and come up with ur own strategy.

My strategy for CAT 2004 was:
- Start with VA/RC and attempt all qns (let go of 1 RC if it gets too boring).
- Weakest Section Math comes next, attempt qns that you are hazar sure to crack (which were very few ).
- Strongest section DI (try and max the section).

Cant say that it worked for me on THE day got a measly 94.65. But had worked for me during the mocks.

All the best Junta.

Nivi.

I thought a thread for this already existed.

http://www.pagalguy.com/cat/viewtopic.php?t=3811

http://www.pagalguy.com/cat/viewtopic.php?t=6084

Hence, I think that the guy who started this thread is extremely lucky that it hasn't been locked yet.


Me have already suffered having my threads locked by the mods many times before I learned to use the search functionality.

As you told why only A B and C.I think these are the market leaders as of today and we shd target these , n ofcourse if one gets a call from these 3 he shd get the calls from so called L I K. I hope u would agree.

What would be the source for making to RC. As of now I have been reading the editorial of TOI, but even this sm times are stupid ones.So what you guys suggest.
