Hello All,
It looks like most of our discussion have taken route of filling forms & understanding the eligibility, It is good that many doubts are getting cleared here. But now that we are roughly two months & a little more away from FMS and one month away from 2009-2010 Exam season, we should continue our discussions regarding preparations.
Sushant Bahadur and other seniors can throw light on:-
1) What all aspirants should concentrate in the days to come?
2) What should be the approach from now on since prep route will take a sudden turn of facing real tests ?
3) How to cope up with differences in preparation.
4) Various hints on different sections QA, RC, VA, DI, LR, etc.
4) And on any other point I missed.
Thank you seniors for you help and guidance so far. Please continue your support.
@all aspirants - All the best for prep.
Regards,
Sanjeev

plz reply fast...what do one should focus on to crack fms???
These questions have been answered many times previously. I'll just add some additional points.
You should get a lot of time to prepare before fms (after all other exams). It'll be sufficient if you already preparing for CAT.
Download as many mocks for fms you can get hold of (they wont be many anyways). Solve all of them in as less time as possible. FMS has always focussed on speed in past. I remember finding arbit incomplete sections of past mocks online - solve them too. I'll try to upload stuff in dec. end.
Write all time, cl, ims etc etc mocks for fms . (they usually have one each starting around christmas time-they also usually have clashing date and time - dont make urself happy with that excuse - find out ways !!)
There is a high probability of forgetting all your quant essentials by January. Please
do invest time in
revising basic formulae and stuff week before fms. If the pattern of last year verbose quant question continues, you should not waste time remembering Basics in the exam!
Grammar - I strongly suggest know your grammar for fms. (its a pity if you dont know basic grammar once in a b-skool !) Pick up class 9/10 Wren & Martin. Browse through all basic chapters. It shouldnt take more than 8 hours(but distribute this time over 4days). Focus on modifiers and agreement (if u dont know their usage, u r committing a sin by speaking english

)
In any interview, do know that you dont introduce yourself by saying 'myself mr. xyz' - its pathetic language. U shall know this once you browse w&m.;
Vocab - incase you are weak at vocab - there's not much you can do now. Pick any coaching vocab guide. Skim all words that dont sound too heavy to you for important letters such as : A, C, E, I, M, N, P, R, S, T.
Idioms - Learn all by heart from all mocks. Pick up a guide (online perhaps) and see all that dont sound heavy.
I am emphasizing on browsing all those that dont sound heavy because all vocab and idioms which come in paper- u must have heard atleast 70% in ur life once before - but u dont remember them -- browsing helps recollect atleast 75% of that 70% !!
DI/LR in fms is simple but tricky.
Practise 100 questions in the 2 weeks before exam. It is usually different from CAT style di.
Sleep well (atleast 5hours) before fms paper. You can not solve these questions if you are not absolutely alert. I suggest you do not solve
any questions one day before exam. It'll exhaust you silently.
All the suggestions above are not from any coaching institute. They are all my personal past experience and jugaad ! I do not wish to impose these and misguide anybody :biggrin:
Cheers!
