7 CATS have I met

4th Time !!!! quite a veteran

Never thought would be writing myself in repeaters thread :)neither thought i would be writing CAT with close to 36 months work ex(use to think people with 36+ work ex are very senior people )here goes my record
CAT 2008 81.8
CAT 2009 91.72
CAT 2010 ??(technically it should be 101 observing the pattern:D)

3rd and Hopefully Final Attempt this yr .

Fingers crossed !

Hi,
i had CAT 2 times till now. CAT 08 - 32 without any coaching and CAT 09 - 32 again with coaching..
Now will give CAT 11 with work ex , but will give it

My third n most probably the last attempt.

Cat 2008: 80 percentile
Cat 2009: 55 percentile
Cat 2010: hope to get past the first time's percentile

Nervous n confident in turns :)

Never knew that there was a thread like this.

REVIVED !!



Courtesy ,
Your's faithfully

repeaters thread !!

this reminds me of my brother's statement - CAT toh salana HAJ hai

moi info-

attempt #1 cat'08 - 91.89

attempt #2 cat'09 - 95.15

attempt #3 cat'10 - 98.xx (expecting)

wonder what if i sit for cat'11

Never knew that there was a thread like this.

Anyways this will be my 4th attempt,

2007 : 89.xx%
2008 : 97.17% ( Ohh DI )
2009 : 78.xx% ( Someone else gave the paper for me )

As you can see I am kind of following a sine curve.Hoping to reach as much close to the sin90 value this time ( 100% )

Exactly dude, Lets not let our failures in the past decide our future. Its time we took control. I have moved out of my comfortable home into a place near my place of work, so that I can save the 2 hours i waste each day travelling.

Its now or never baby!

Rock on!
hameed[/quoteGood initiative hameed. I also have started studying in the office bus enroute to the office. Ofcourse it's a good way to utilize time while travelling which consumes hell lot of time!!!!!

The best part about us "repeaters" is that we know how to reach the end of our hope and then extend it further. Secondly we also know CAT inside out so we know exactly where and how to improve. With me the major problem is lack of time as I am working full time in a very competitive enviornment. I am sure everyone else would have some problem or the other but the CAT still bewithches us!

Hi all

I'm also a repeater. This will be my third attempt in CAT
2005 -91
2006 -91.

In any case want to improve these scores to get into iims . Know what others (getting call and couldn't convert) must be suffering.

It's high time for us to stop mourning over what has happened in the last few yrs and discuss about the ways and means by which we can improve on scores. Ofcourse we shouldn't keep our motivation level down!!!

Hi Hameed,
I sincerely feel sorry for u man .. and looks like we have many more here on PG who have been sailing in the same boat .. infact I dont think if i can understand what frustration 'Harshadk' and 'finatarget_2007' would have had after those rejections . :-(

And yes lets try to do to better .. who the hell knows what fate has in store for us .. The only thing we need to keep in mind is tht our preparation should be enough not to make us think of this statement 'shayad main aur padta to is bar ho jata' ..

When i was in the god's own state of Kerala, visiting a friend, I happened to get introduced to a very religious old person. Though i personally think religion is a farce, i still hold a lot of respect for people who can have a faith and stand by it without being hipocrates.

Anyway, this man tells me that his age is 101, he walks as fast as me, and sleeps 3 hours a day. He does not have a hand, he supposedly lost it in a train accident which also took away from him his daughter. He then tells me that his faith began to falter after that incident, so he began walking, just like that (reminds me of forest gump hanks running away) - he walked from kerala....kept walking and resting, doing small time labor, earning enough money to keep moving, untill five years later he arrived in Mecca. There, he tells me his faith was forged agian. Twenty years later at the ripe age of 80 he lost his eye-sight, and then when was 95 he began getting his sight back.now at 101 he looks healthy as a bull.

I dont think its got anything to do with god or religion, but the undying search for one's destiny. It is the unmoving faith that you can hold in an idea that will bring dreams to life.
To 'Harshadk' and 'finatarget_2007' and Contender - I can't claim to know the dejection you feel, but all i can say is "keep walking!"

Rock on!

Man, i am in the same boat as you,

I had prepared real well for 04, i was consistently in 98.xx's in simcats, but got chicken pox a week before cat, gave 04 with 101 fever running, and managed just 94.xx. Next two years i havent had the same spirit, but gave cat anyways with 89.xx and 91.xx. but this year is the make or break one.

Have been doing ok in Aimcats, clearing VA and QA cutoffs, but DI is my monkey on the back. And yes, I have registered for SIMs as well. So From now on I would take AIMs only on sundays where there wud be no SIM. Basically I am looking at giving different tests in different centers, rather than get used to some kind of routine.

So what say, lets go show em some???

Its been 2yrs since i have been taking CAT ...
my CAT score is not something that i ever expected but than thts not going to make any difference..
CAT 06: 92.xx %ile

Here i am one more repeater ..

current status(on preps):
.. Have joined AIMCATs, recently SIMCATs as well, and have been clearing QA/DI cutoffs consistently but VA is something that has made me worried ..
My performance has been pathetic ..nowhere near cutoffs .. and this inturn is affecting my performance in other sections as well :-(

This is one of those days when i dont know what to do .. not because of unawareness but because of the crushed moral that i have right now .. :-(
Something that i never imagined would happen to me :-(

Good luck guys.

If there is one thing that you should never let flag, it has to be your motivation level. Also, it helps to compartmentalise different sections in the paper...No point in letting one bad section spill over onto the other 2...Make sure this is the case atleast as far as the mocks go....Bcos I am assuming that u guys will be trying out different strategies in different mocks, and if u r letting one section affect the others, u r not doing justice to ur prep..

All the best for the mocks!!

PS : I know what it means to be a CAT repeater..Given it thrice:)

Krish

Hi Krish,
Thanks for your words. It was one of those days 'when neither my spirits were high nor was i high on spirits' :-)

And yes i do agree i should not worry abt other sections while attempting one ..

But at times one needs a feel of 'motivating words' more than a 'strategy' and yesterday i was in a similar state .. anyways time to get out of that and explore ways to improve rather than crib .. Thanks again.
