Well it seems that CAT is one of the toughest exam in this whole universe...Well got myself enrolled for TIME...Pretty satisfied with there faculty but the material is good..Guys one of my buddy got through IIM A this year..was excited about this new thing in life..I tell u one thing that in front of CAT, GMAT stands nowhere I mean the quant in gmat is a cakewalk if you have already prepared for cat...I mean it..Whatever knowledge I have gained I personally feel that cat is all about TIME MANAGEMENT and the use of the effective and fruitful strategy that puts u on the 99+ percentile bracket..it is difficult to achieve but it is not impossible as it can be cracked....I think it is difficult to crack cat while working but it is not impossible is what I feel...You just need following components to achieve this that is

dedication
hardwork
devotion
singleminded approach
highly focussed
alwayz the have to f**** cat kind of attitude which helps you to achieve that goal

Guys wait for your replies..

catch you later...

Hi all,

Well, before i start off with what i want, lemme tell u what i m..!! i m a computer engineer passed out in 2004, working with a software firm(again that boring sh** job..!!).
Hey sgmat. even i hate the job that I m doing. it's like sitting thee trying to wrtie something in the computer of which you don't hav the aintest idea. All u have to make sure is that write something elligible within the stipulated deadline without knowing hopw it fits into the system..!! i hate it,.

I have given the CAT 3 times already, got 98.2%ile, in the last attempt. The only problem is that, right now, I lack the motivaiton to go on. i have already studied it so many times that the motivation to on, to travel that extra mile does not come..!!

Can someone help me uot pliss..??

Well I have applied to

Well as of now I am pretty much busy with the "BORING APPS PROCESS" which really sucks as it requires lot of patience from your side and make the whole appl process very lazy and lethargic...

Buddy all your inputs,criticism are welcome so dont hesitate on that part...

Dude,
Congrats on breaking the barrier..I mean it really does mean a lot to be in the post 700 bracket. I've just started my preps and well I am equipped with the std. Kaplan's and Barron's..but the thing is..TIME!

I work..and im crazy at that coz i love it..but then..im good at extra curriculars like you too..Considering im putting that extra effort to cut on the ex-curr, how does one make sure they get that time out of work.
I have the Power Prep on my notebook, but deadlines take the power out of it..suggest better ideas to utilize that time. Im sure you did something when you were working..

I have an extra pack of my visiting cards that were useless after the promotion...I can make them work for me..

Ciao

Well no doubts life moves on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got myself in the complete mode to put my best foot forward so as to crack cat 2005..I would recommend all you guys to join IMS as it seems to give the true picture about the CAT and provides you the necessary tools required to F*** CAT..

For all the GMAT guys, I would say that once you are prepared for CAT quant then the GMAT QUANT would be a cakewalk for you guys...Real thing to crack in GMAT is verbal which sucks really hard!! so pull up your socks and get as much info about the verbal section and the material required to crack the whole system in the most effective manner..

I believe CAT is more of a concentration game while maintaining your composure during the exam..Given my first MOCK CAT of IMS and got a meagre score of 75 which I believe is not that very good my cutoffs were like this:

quant 20
verbal 35
di 20

Well paper was on the easier side but still according to the paper I feel the score was very low..need to put more efforts..

ALL YOU GUYS OUT THERE..is the TIME material good to crack cat...

wait for your inputs..have to go and get back to work...

Catch you later guys!!!!!!

take care..

[sgmat]

Get ready to f*** this beast otherwise u know what is gonna happen...guys it is round the corner so aim for it and then play your shot...

Hi guys!!!

whass up!! howz life moving..
well cat prep is on its way now..I tell u these nite shifts..at times they suck..

I love my job very much..cool bucks (good incentives),perks and all other facilities in this job but nite shifts.. I dont want to leave my job but u see every body is looking for better growth prospects in life..so me too!! in that HERD....Yaar it is all MONEY GAME!!! yaar...

Well, my cat is at times seems to be very irritating but I tell you the secret to crack is just to maintain your cool and i tell you that it is cracked becoz the moment you start getting panicky you lose your cool and forget solving the questions..I gave mock cats under all the scenarios and my experience says that dont rush if you want to crack cat..rest is all about your prep which everybody is doing.....

Got hold of time mock n i tell you it sucks...but they are good for prac..at one point of time when I gave that mock at my place, the feeling was like that I have seen those quant questions for the first time..it is like what ever you have practised till now is worthless..you need to make strategy again...

One more point that once you are through with mock please analyse the mocks sincerely and then change all your strategies again and restart from the beginning I think that way you make new moves to crack the whole system...

Please Please analyse your mistakes and I would say that go through them again and again until you learn those types of questions... It is all about how much you can polish your skills...Yaar every job is monotonous whether it is an MBA job or any other job..this is what cat is all about....do the same things again and again until you master the concepts that are involved in that sys...

I hope this gyaan will help all the pg guys out there..

I want to say one more thing that PG rocks!!!


More gyaan after I get some more exp...
till the time...adios!!!!!!going to bed yaar I have come rite now from my shift guys...

[sgmat]

Hi guys

well finally cat is getting closer to our head as the days are passing by..seems to be really nerve breaking task at times which makes you feel at times that this is not your cup of tea..yaar i say this becoz of the uncertain nature of cat..it shud be chameleon rather than cat changing colors...

come we have to crack it to make money guys...yaar why do we do all this shitty crap sacrificing all your comforts and friends..pretty obvious to make money....

for me there are 3 things that keeps me going..it is all money,sex n of course dreams..rest of the other things have no place in my life..what do you say guys...

come on whatever we say in interviews that better job prospects or more knowledge by doing mba but the underlying philosophy is MONEY!! so guys we need to crack it....

well guys has a word with isb adcom and found that every fulltime work ex is going to be considered no issues whether it is call centre or for any other kind...it is all your convincing capability to make the panel sure that this is the reason why you took up tat job....

i tell you one thing working IN AMEX for 2 years is grt fun...come on cool bucks!!!!!!incentives....nite shifts...cool chics!!! and ofcourse that AMERICAN ACCENT...

now I m relieved of all that crap that call centre work ex is worthless...

so all you BPO guys pull up your socks and ready to F**** CAT!!

TAKE CARE

CATCH YOU LATER...

NEEDS TO SLEEP!!!BYE
