CAT 2012 Kerala study group

@Kevin88 - team captain any last minute strategies bro?hw r u planning to tackle the diffrnt sections?
@thomaschandy Nice touch !!

Caution - Very generic :

1. Keep calm !!! , if the paper is difficult for you, it will most probably be difficult for all.
2. Pick the easy questions. There will definitely be a few scattered around.
3. Don't get attached to any question...did me in last time.
4. XAT is arguably the most difficult of entrance tests, give it its due respect !!
5. Avoid guessing, you have a 0.2 chance of getting it right.

@raku1989 @pugna @Vineeth555 @rohan_bhasker @brandnewrap @seetharam7 @joethaliath @Ash27Winz

Please share your time distribution strategies & add more to the above

Cheers !!

P.S : Might not be an official captain, but am proud to be called a 'pseudo captain' at the very least for this group !!

@Kevin88 I have decided to allot 30 minutes each to all the three sections first , then the balance for those sections in which i feel I havent attempted enough to clear the cut offs. THe last 20 mins or so for maximising my score.

This is the strategy that I am rooting for.. All the best to everyone πŸ˜ƒ for some weird reason , I am not able to tag anyone 😲 .. Last major exam guys πŸ˜ƒ Enjoy those 3 hours to the max :D

XAT is possibly the last EXAM for all the guys out here in this season. So you dont need to reserve your energy for anything else. Give your best shot tomorrow guys!! All the very BHESTEEY!!

Best of luck for XAT guys πŸ˜ƒ

ATB to teamm.... special congrats to @raku1989 for SP Jain call....

@pradyothcjohn kura kaalamayi parayanam enne vicharichu irrikukkaya , marannu pogugayannu........ Congrats for IIM-I ... kshamikane ithra nerathe paranjathine ....

All the best guys...:-)

As for time management, I will surely devote around 40 min to QA, then 30 each for remaining 2 sections.
Baaki, cut offs clear cheyyan...
God bless....

Coming back to this thread after an year's time... Got caught up in B-School Life
