Another D-day
On the last Sunday of November, a 3 hour test with 100 questions can change my life, help me move from this IT job to better career prospects, I thought to myself. D-day, we call it. All the practice, mocks, failures, experiences culminate to help us perform on this important day. Well, it passed! And I made it to a B-School. Since then there have been so many of these 'D-days', of similar capacity to 'change my life' in a span of a few minutes! Yes! The time period decreased from 3 hours to a few minutes of GDs & PIs & presentations. The state of mind required on these D-days has also changed from CAT. CAT is the most objective/measurable/just thing that happens in the MBA journey. I planned beforehand approximate number of questions that I needed to attempt in each section. It was a +3 -1 or a 0 for each question. Such is not the case with the D-days that follow CAT. Nothing is objective, nothing is certain, interviewers’ mood, wrong GD panel, bias, or call it plain simple luck, comes into picture. But you're so used to having faced these D-days 1 year after entering a B-School, that you have an inner voice telling you, 'this too shall pass'. You might not have the right confidence every time because you're not sure of yourself or your work, but courage to face the challenge, a smile on your face, a firm voice, a quick mind can really help you sail through. Ultimately, you’re being judged for these few minutes of your performance. Tomorrow is one of these D-days for me, perhaps the most important one yet, final review of my summer internship project. Am I 100% confident of my work! No. Am I nervous. Hell, yes! But I know, this too shall pass, I just have to put up a brave face and speak out my work with conviction. Tomorrow, this time, my mind will be at peace, free of all this anxiety. A soothing peace that settles after a storm. I'll be looking back, trying to connect the dots, to understand if these two months made any sense!
Though I will not be stepping into such a fierce battleground tomorrow, but this quote is one of the things that is offering me courage right now.
“It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew- and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents – that there was all the difference in the world.”
Good Night Puys/Pirls.
Hi, This is my first post in PG. And possibly not the last. It's a post stating the unending struggles for a CAT aspirant, with still another 6 months to go for the struggle to end and simultaneously for that once sought upon dream to come true. Reason behind the post : Disastrous AIMCAT & SIMCAT scores this weekend. CAT 19 : 1st attempt.Self Preparation. Results : 67 percentile. Yes, I got the brains to score that low, even after a diligent preparation (at least that is what I think). Took 2 full weeks leave from Office right before CAT. Went home. Prepared hard. Only hope was somehow expecting the VARC section to sail me through. I knew I would be appearing for CAT 20.But wanted to give it a serious shot. Was expecting a marks in the range of 90-110.Wanted to be able to clear the bare cutoffs. 24-30 marks in Quants. 2 full sets in LRDI. And a score above 50 in VARC. Neither one of them happened. I failed. Miserably. Came back to Bangalore. Joined TIME at around the first weekend after CAT. Was sure, that will be preparing diligently. Even though it was not at as diligent, I would have expected, but still I lingered along. Gave the first AIMCAT in Feb. Disastrously low score. Gave the next AIMCAT in March. Scored 86 owing to the 60 marks in VARC. Fellow aspirants can judge by now, that yes, although being an engineer(tier 3 college - yes we too have the nerves about dreaming to clear the CAT-although I do have a 9-9-8 profile owing to the boards), my DILR & QA is pathetic enough. Attempted the first SIMCAT last month and subsequently an AIMCAT as well. Scored 73 in both. Again owing to 40 and 47 marks in VARC simultaneously in SIMCAT, AIMCAT. On 24th May(the day I attempted AIMCAT 22), right after seeing the score of 73, I could feel my frustration. Made a well built plan to stick to for the next 180 odd days. Did follow for roughly 2 weeks. And yes, that brings us to the present weekend. Today. 7th June. 2020.Gave SIMCAT on Saturday, scored 58.I was at a loss of words. I attempted all 34 questions in VARC and was pretty confident while marking the answers. Coz, to be honest, I feel SIMCAT VARC a bit on the easier side than AIMCAT. 2 Full set in DILR(pun intended 😂) and at around 10 questions in QA. Was highly disappointed and yes it had a sever impact on today's AIMCAT 21 as well. Scored 46.A freaking ***king 46.I don't know what is it that I am doing wrong. But yes, I won't be lying, I am thinking about quitting. Calling it a day. Coz even after diligent preparation( will surely want it to be much much much more diligent than what it is presently), I am able to see, people who don't even have to prepare are scoring more than me. To the people to who have read this to the very end, I just want to say, I can't afford to lose this year. Not this time. So, here I am eagerly looking out for a mentor/friends/peers who can be a part of this journey. This struggle. Do ping if interested.
