Next question that’s in the line after taking the exam is “My attempts in Quant are A with B% accuracy and in Verbal it is C with D% accuracy. How much %ile can I expect??” I am sure such questions could send even the Quant masters in a dizzy… Then again we have many aspirants […]

And the funniest part is the clichéd answers given by these “Gyaani babas” in defense to the questions raised over the authenticity or the success rate of those projections- “Actually the projections are not 100% correct but they are fairly indicative of your actual percentiles as they are based on the analysis and detailed study […]

So the time has come when the month-long marathon of CAT 2013 has shut all its windows and is now drawing its curtains. Ahhhh… But wait!!! I can see so many restless heads peeping through the window furtively, with a desperate bid to at least have a glance of their PERCENTILE; to which I feel […]

But sadly, CAT has now become more of a homonym with its abbreviated version gaining more ground over the other. Even in his pre-school days, […]
