Guys one strange question. I was good in sec 1 when I first attempted CAt in 2011. My % on Sec-II was 80. But now I've noticed that as I'm reading more and more content on VA I'm ending upa with more wrong answers. What should I do ? My VA this CAT 2012 is 59.XX 5. Help me guys.

@vivek9123 PM your dropbox email id. I'll share the folder.

7510 words.courtesy: testyourvocab.comI think I represent the class of students Tanveer sir is worried about.

And yet I find that your previous post is markedly devoid of any grammatical mistakes. Your use of articles is quite good. So - Overall I feel that you have a strong hold on the grammar of the language as well as its style.Vocab may be on the lower side due to lesser exposer to reading.But I have a gut feeling that your vocab can be escalated very quickly if we work in a focussed manner.Since you are in Kolkata - why dont we meet up some time to discuss a game plan to improve your vocab - or PM me if you want to discuss this on the phone...Please dont be discouraged by the score!!CRACKING THE CAT IS A LOT ABOUT SELF BELIEF!!

any body has any material on "find the odd sentence"..from a group of four sentences, one which doesnt correlate with the other three has to be picked?

Task : To crack the English section of the CATMethod: If you are going to crack the English section it will depend on how friendly you are with words. ( Vocabulary) .

Next you are going to use these words as per certain rules to form sentences. ( Grammar)V + G = RC ( also Reasoning)The mistake that most CAT preppers make while preparing for CAT English is to think of it in terms of sections. I will do words. I will not do grammar.

Or I will do RC I will not do words and so on.Whereas - Actually You have no choice but to start at the basics - start at the basics of the language - start with how the language developed - how words formed.. how they began to be used in sentences .. and finally how those sentences were grouped into paragraphs ... and finally how those paras can be used for logic and reasoning and comprehension

wrong in the given sentence,but what is incorrrect, i cant figure that out.,vocab is average,cant be confident of LR & CR,some times in mocks i crack them nd

sometimes not and there are 40 days between me and CAT and i m hell nervous and confused.
Please tell me what to do AND how to do in the remaining 40 days.I started prep late,CAT got preponed and because of quantophobia kept on doing quant till now.

I m writing to you with lots of hopes,please please help me out.

By propounding “Darwinism,” even scientists and science writers perpetuate an impression that evolution is about one man, one book, one “theory.” The ninth-century Buddhist master Lin Chi said, “If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.” The point is that making a master teacher into a sacred fetish misses the essence of his teaching. So let us now kill Darwin. That all life is related by common ancestry, and that populations change form over time, are the broad strokes and fine brushwork of evolution. But Darwin was late to the party. __________________

a)All Darwin perceived was that selection must work in nature, too.

b)Scientists often attribute the success of a phenomenon to an individual, thus mitigating the magnitude of that particular discovery or innovation.

c)That’s why Darwin must go.

d)But there’s a limit to how much credit is reasonable.

e)His grandfather, and others, believed new species evolved.

@Brooklyn bhai is time aise mt bol attempt karne se pahle just give it a quick look n ask yourself if you can quickly make it? then only you will understand that instead of making 2 difficult questns wrong you cud have done 3 simpler ones correct.

dont be in hastle man...u can crack it.

@PSub : Yar prob is i cant seem to understand when to leave a q!! With VA i cant be ever 100%sure....so even a tough VA ppr seems same as a an easy one for me!

@Brooklyn one word..actually two "more practice" :)

Im getting to many wrongs !! around 7-9 waat to do ???

@writetotanveer

Need a effective strategy for DI+LR preparation in one month.
Would solving past years questions + last year's aimcats + this year's aimcats suffice?
Suggestions please.!!
