CAT and XAT is approaching and if you are struggling through the CAT Test Series offered by so many institutes and feel that your scores do not reflect your true potential, if it is not improving or even decreasing test after test, then this is the right thread for you at this stage. It is designed to improve your score in the minimum possible time by correcting your mistakes and giving you new revolutionary time saving and problem saving approaches.
These techniques are based on what we feel to be essential flaws in the design of the test—flaws that could cause students to score well below their true potentials. So I designed a thread specifically geared for improving your score in CAT. For years, it has helped CAT and XAT aspirants attain phenomenal score improvements.

Rule 3: parajumble Examples – after an hypothesis or theory
If any sentence is working as an example - place it after 9not necessarily just after - because one has to explain the idea) it's hypothesis/ theory. It should not be before the idea that it explains.
See this example.
3. A. The potential exchanges between the officials of IBBF and the Maharashtra Body-Building Association has all the trappings of a drama we are accustomed to.
B. In the case of sportspersons, there is room for some sympathy, but the apathy of the administrators, which has even led to sanctions from international bodies, is unpardonable.
C. A case in the point is the hefty penalty of US $10,000 slapped on the Indian Body-Building Federation for not fulfilling its commitment for holding the Asian Championships in Mumbai in October.
D. It is a matter of deep regret and concern that the sports administrators often cause more harm to the image of the country than sportsmen and sportswomen do through their dismal performances.
a. CABD b. DBCA c. DABC d. CDBA
Here C is an example of D. So it will come after D. Only option b and c remains. Now go by ACRONYM Method discussed earlier. (IBBF in A. and Indian Body-Building Federation in C.) C will come before A. So only b remains.

The 4th Rule of Para Jumble - Articles.
Atricles can be divided into two categorie - definite (the) and indefinite (a and an). when the author uses 'a / an' - he want to make a general statement - want to introduce the noun followed by a/an for the first time but when he uses 'the' he want to refer back to some previously discussed noun.
It means having 'the' is very unlikely in the opening sentence.
If 'a/an' and 'the' both are used for the same noun then the sentence containing 'the' will come after the sentence containing a/an.
