Hi Puys, :

With XAT results out, i guess the MBA season 2010 is almost over. Results would have come as a breath of fresh air :cheerio: for many of you out there. On the contrary many hopes and dreams would also have got shattered (I missed XL call by 1 %ile in LR/AR). But then itzz part n parcel of the GAME.

The beauty of the process of preparing for CAT and other reputed B school examz is that they definitely teach you a lot in terms of perseverence, character and tenacity :cheers: & there are no two ways about it. Irrespective of whether you get a call or not, you are surely left with rich intellectual experience gained during the preparation.

So for all those brave souls who fought hard but couldn't make it to say JOKA or WimWi or XL this year , it's high time to plan their studies for season 2011 :thumbsup::thumbsup:. And it should aptly start with forming a solid study group, which is the sole motto of this post.

So i hereby take the opportunity to invite bright puys of Gurgaon to come and join hands and embark on a journey called CAT 2011.

Drop a PM to me or reply on this post with following details :

1. NAME
2. Occupation
3. Past MBA examz experience (in brief)

BTW below is my debut MBA season story in a nutshell :

CAT '10 : 94
XAT '11 : 90 (with 73.65 in AR/LR)
JMET : Missed General Catg. cut-off by 1 mark (got 69, although would have been of no use even if i hv got 70)
FMS : Missed by miles
IIFT : Missed by good 3-4 marks

Hi,

I suggest following venues for our meets :

1. Ambi Mall
2. Sahara Mall
3. MGF Mall
4. PG of any member of the group

Any suggestions (although it is too early with just 2 members so far :lookround:)

Yeah we need some more members in the group before we move on to deciding the meeting place..... though about malls being the meeting place i feel masti quotient among the groupin the meetings might be too high. But lets decide when we have more members and more inputs.

is family business experience considered. i did my graduation in 2010 and joined family businness along with cat classes

Hey Ashok,

You are most welcome to the group. As i have already mentioned.. we need to keep this thread active in order to get a few more members. Therefore, i propose that we should start discussing our plan for next 9 months here.. this would not only help us share our experiences and other DO's n Don'ts but would also keep the thread ticking...

What you say ?

@cat crush : gud 2 hear frm u .as far as plan is concerned i'll try 2 cover up as much as i can bf4 i join d test series in may.
for quant i used rs aggarwal 2 brush up my basics..n now i'm using arun sharma,though some of my friends suggested arihant , that is also really gud.
for di n logical; i have cl old material..n i'm tryin 2 solve questons which appeared in previous years papers ..for lr type questions which cum in SANP n NMAT ..like assumption,argument ,conclusion types or coding decoding..etc..arihant is gud...though these dnt require much of a practice..
english ...i love reading(novels n stuff)...newspaper,magazine n all..though i havent started working on parajumbles or sentence correction...bt slowly i will 4 sure.

as far as experience is concerned i cannot say much...bcoz i'll appearing first time...so ,u n gagan wuld help me out in that dept.

Hey whr do you stay in Gurgoan ? As far as my experience is concerned regarding CAT prep , i would say :

Although i agree that a good study material is quite imp.. but the more imp thing is to learn the knack of problem solving which comes with practise.. :lookround::lookround:

For RCs -

apart from novels refer to websites like Economist.com , Scientific American , Guardian.co.uk ... you;ll find some really high quality articles to cater to your intellectual thirst... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

For Grammer - i did Wren & Martin coupled with TIME material

For VA - refer to questions from TG (Total Gadha) & Test Funda

DI - Undoubtly TIME's stuff is v v good.. you'll get all possible types of questions.. also the Q's in AIMCATs would add further...

QA - Pick any book be it Arun Sharma, Abhijeet Guha , Trishna.. all are good.. but try to solve Q.'s by both conventional approach (formulae based) & Smart approach (logic based, wasting minimal ink of your pen) ..

Thumb Rules : (which i observed)
RC -Read Read Read :drinking:
VA/GRammer - Learn , apply , Revise, Apply :cheers:

DI - Practise Practise Practise :banghead::banghead:

QA - Solve CAT level questions (not the Basic level ones ) using multiple approaches

But believe me.. first you plan your nxt 9 months... its v imp.. n keep the plan flexible.. revise it as per needs and situation
