grammar is something tat u really cant work on withing such a short time.....i think get hold of a couple of grammar books like wren and martin and norman lewis and just follow thier rules etc.....sometimes in cat they go by general rules of grammar and iam told they have picked up a few questions from wren and martin(i dont know this).....so get the rules right and hope ,hope tat it clicks......
Iam also trying this.....iam no good..

well, I am also facing with the same problem but I WON"T GIVE UP....I have made some dreamy *and flowery plans for next 27 days...Go through the TIME VA material ( V02 ) and then take each type of questions generally asked in VA/EU and deovte 2-3 days to those types of questions ...take as many sectional test...just expose yourself to all kinds of questions that may be asked in CAT...The types would normally fall into :

-- Fill in the blanks
-- Parajumbles
-- Sentence Correction
-- INappropriate Usage of ONE WORD ( the most difficult one )
-- Matching Dictionary meaning ( forget it..they are not gonna ask this )
-- Missing word in a para...

The whole idea is to focus on each type of question at one sitting and become a master of it ( to your standard , of course )...and then take on another type...

Might just help...who knows...

and as far as consulting grammar books is concerned...keep on doing it as and when you feel like...don't drown yourself into rules at this stage...

what i have to say is that even grammar there are many types of categories like fill in blanks , word based etc ... analyse in which type ur comfartable and which ur not . maximise the attempts in the comfort type and start practising the notso comfortable type of grammar qn's to improve ...

The trouble with VA, as I see it, is that there seem to be ambiguities in at least 4 questions in every aimcat. On the D-Day, it could prove to be the most critical fator as it can swing my netscore +/- 5... That makes a huge difference for people like me who make only 70 odd attempts in 150q paper.
