Hi all,
I am working from 9: 6 and trying to put my consistent efforts for CAT 2008,
Can any one please share his/her experiances regarding how to follow a plan.
Like i have planned to do self study instead of coaching.
Then i am bit confused that how i should procede
like : what part should be covered till feb/March?
: How to make a complete plan till NOV.
: What are key areas to focus upon?
Thanks in advance
As my personal exp
newspaper's editorial: daily
divide the material dont just do quants or di.. mix the subjects
i used to do english daily for an hr or so and then either quant or di
my study hours were
9-12.30 daily..n more in weekends
MOCK CATs ..enrolled to atleast and max two
till march-april finish the funda books and religiously do verabal..focus not only on jst RC but to ur lang.. and words..
its like this
by end of
march-april: done with fundas
may-june- revise strengthen the weak areas not comf
july-start with mocks:
analysis.. then identify ur weak area
how to analysewell it is everything
what u need to analyze
1- where u went wrong
a) were u wrong due to lack of knowledge
b) were u wrong due to lack of time
c) were u wrong due to silly mistake
d) were u wrong due to wrong understanding of concept
e) were u wrong due to marking a fluke
2- where u were not able to attempt
a) was it lack of time
b) was it lack of knowledge
c) was it fear of more time utilzation
3- where u went right
a) u were confident
b) it was a fluke
c) it took more time than it should take
d) it was an intelligent guess with some conceptual backing
4- how much time allocation u gave to each section
a) were there ques which u can solve but was not able to reach that page
b) did u gave too much time to the section u r good/bad on
Now u have a good mix of what concepts u r lacking and once u have given few tests u can easily tell which topic u r good at and which u r not so good
so this will help u in question selection as well will give u direction for further preparation as well
follow this..afer ever 5-6 mocks revisit them..n analyse..
15 days before CAT ..stop with mocks..no tests..just general reading and some problem solving...relax urself ...
