IBSAT 2006 preparations?

[indian_girl]

Hello,

I have applied for IBSAT 2006 this year but I have no clue what and how should I prepare for it

Can any one suggest me some books for that?

Also does anyone know whats the format for IBSAT this year( Dec'2006 )?

Is there negative marking in IBSAT ?

Also whats the score for qualifying this exam?


I have never appeared for any interview or GD before so can anyone help me as to how are the interviews and GD conducted at ICFAI? are they tough?

Hi,



My name is puneet and I am a 22 yr old guy. I appeared for IBSAT2004 and even got a interviw call but didnt went for the Intr. The paper pattern is the same as Cat. Comprises of three sections- Quant, DI and English. The questions are like sitters, you just need to be good at basic concepts and should have good speed as the number of questions is more(200) than wat v have in Cat(90).

Any question feel free to through on me..

Hi puneet,

Thanx for providing info , I m pretty scared now is IBSAT as tough as CAT?

there is negative marking in CAT i have heard , does that happen in IBSAT as well ?

(IBSAT is based on GMAT about which I have nil idea so I m confused how its going to be)

whats the qualifying score and whats the time provided for IBSAT?

Also if any one has been through an interview and GD at ICFAI (hyd) , can u guide me on that?

First of RELAX.. why u seem so confused.... chill down.. u will get the answers sooner or later..

IBSAT is nowhere as tough as CAT... none of the BSchool exams are.. its a sitter and u clear it with basic concepts and little bit of practise.. and they give interview calls to loads of ppl....so anyone with a good aptitude stands a chance.....

the format I am dont clearly remember right now.. will get back once I have it...

Cheers~

sorry

I guess u r right I am being very impatient about IBSAT,

But what should I do I appeared for my university entrance exam where even though I got qualified I was not given admission ,

and I dont want to lose this time , thats the reason i am worried but anyways I think I should chill down for a while and then give a thought to that.


thanx

hi preeya and amit,

Yes I think if one prepares for CAT exam he should be able to attempt all the other mba entrance tests( ETs) because CAT happens to be the hardest of all the mba ETs all over the world , its harder than Gmat as well ( this is what I have read on a website) and also if we look at the structure of both the ETs we can know that CAT is really the toughest of all ,

Here's the structure of GMAT:

Verbal section ,41 questions ,75 min

Quantitative section,37 question,75 min

Analytical Writing ,2 essays ,30 min allotted for each

The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test (its also called GMAT CAT so dont get confused)

This means that unlike a paper-and-pencil test, the next question is always determined on the spot, pulled from a large bank of questions inside the computer.

Based on your answers, you will either see more or less difficult questions, which will have an impact on your score.

Overall scores on the test range between 200 and 800. The final score is determined by your performance on the Verbal and Quantitative sections, and is accompanied by a percentile rank. The average score is 500.

And also if I am not wrong GMAT test takers are given 10 minutes break in between each section

And regarding CAT its unpredictable of how tough its going to be as its format changes every year

And I really wish someone could come out with the basic structure of IBSAT 2006
