CAT - A dream that you all have lived till now , a journey that you all have enjoyed so far , a passion that flows in you every moment, every day - And I am sure it is going to be the intermediate milestone that you all will achieve successfully to accomplish your long term goals !
Few hours from now, one of the most elusive windows will open to decide if you all are going to achieve X milestone or a Y milestone as a short stoppage in the journey of achieving your dreams many years down the line!
I or anyone else should not be telling you at this moment how to crack VA/QA/DI/LR ... infact, we are no one to tell you all this at this stage. You being here is the proof to support the fact that if each and every one of you take the exam with best of your concentration levels keeping yourself as cool as ever throughout the duration, you all will not score anything less than what is needed to cross the barrier set by different top IIMs for you all.
Having said that, coolness will not bother you unless you throw out the anxiousness of what you will score, what will happen if you score less, so many people expect so much from you etc. etc. ... Remember, these 2.5 hours are yours , do not let others affect them ... these are the 2.5 hours you have waited so long, these are YOUR 2.5 hours and they do not belong to any anxiousness, expectations etc.
Forget everyone else around you fro today till you take the exam, forget what they are giving as last minute tips .. you know what it takes to crack the exam .. you know what you are capable of and after taking the exams you should just be in the position to tell yourself that , Yes, I did my best' - and trust me no power can stop you from scoring amazingly if you could tell this to yourself.
Do not get bogged down or elated by what you will be reading on CAT experience threads from tomorrow... do not let the reviews effect you ... do not modify your approach now .. few misguide in reviews, few just know to give gyaan ..few dont know what is the meaning of accuracy and difficulty level but would just come and vent out the frustration ... so, all these reviews should not be given importance as they just confuse you.
Take your slot's paper at its own merit and if you can do it, you would be able to maul the paper on any day , any slot - focus is the key and the positive attitude that , fighting spirit and self confidence that you have will act as enablers to make you all emerge as winners.
I know you all will enjoy the 2.5 hours as it tests you at your passion and we all love winning at things which test us at our passion - Go ahead, enjoy yourselves, you are the best person to crack any paper, your passion will drive your calmness and concentration, your determination will ensure that you make these 2.5 hours memorable forever, do not think too ahead of time , just live these 2,5 hours and rest Almighty will take care by making you see the results that you all much deserve.
Wish you all good luck and May the force be with you all , :thumbsup:
Cheers and All the best ! 😃
