R & D
Adding to what @visionIIM-ACL said here are a few pointers i had posted on the SOP thread:
1. Count the number of I's in ur SOP. U dont want an SOP to read I did this...then i did that...
2. Try to stick to the word limit asking people to cut it down for u is shrugging off hard work coz only u are the best judge of which lines highlight u better.
3. Avoid talking negative Eg: I dont want to do this...I dint want to just do coding...etc etc. it leaves an impression that u want a good ride but dont want to make ur hands dirty in building the road.
4. The Statement of Purpose is incomplete without a PURPOSE. Think hard on what is ur PURPOSE. But at the same time avoid getting dreamy be REALISTIC coz nobody will take u as a CFO/CEO right after u graduate. talk about working hard to get to that position.Eg: i had reviewed an SOP right on this thread where the applicant wanted to start his own food chain but he dint talk about being a CEO he talked abt his passion for food & how he needed Mgt education to learn the nuances for managing his venture.
5. Putting in quotes is ok only if they have something to do with ur story. Else they r unnecessary.
6. Carry out a basic grammar check before pasting it here.
7. Dont flaunt ur vocab knowledge in ur SOP. Keep it simple.
8. If u dont have achievements to show off dont make up things it shows through very easily to seasoned people. SOPs of people without achievements to show off also stand out of the crown & i have seen such examples here on this thread so u can take my word for it.
9. Dont CCP. Its very easy to make out which parts of SOP are copied & which r original.
10. Finally, BE HONEST TO URSELF while writing about yourself.Look into the mirror read out ur SOP loud to yourself you yourself will realise which areas are fake & need to be redone.
After you take care of all these things come up for a review & you'll find constructive criticism for sure.
Wishing everyone all the best with your SOPs
a very good CR...from the DM thread...jisne nahi kiya woh karlo
On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern Canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. Surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (or 538 degrees Celsius).
Which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures?
Which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures?
A) Other scientific research released two years before the expedition showed that the remote region of northern Canada underwent considerable warming in the past 100,000 years.
B) Chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north Canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found.
C) A little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern Canada.
D) Strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, Homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals.
E) In the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

e) none of the other options fit, and e gives a reason for the bones being subjected to higher temp, coz of the fires being lighted

muscling in and posting a q here, hope no 1 minds
Net Neutrality stipulates that Internet service providers (ISP) cannot partition their bandwidth such that different types of Internet communications have different maximum bandwidth capacities. For example, an ISP cannot relegate high bandwidth voice-over-IP (VoIP) traffic to a separate tunnel in an attempt to ensure that users of low-bandwidth functions such as plain-text email are not slowed down by the high-bandwidth users. Some individuals support implementing Net Neutrality on the principle that one group (i.e., users of high-bandwidth services) should not be effectively penalized for the actions of another group (i.e., users of slow-bandwidth services, who have a special traffic lane carved out for them, thereby slowing high-bandwidth users).
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument of the supporters of Net Neutrality mentioned above?
A) The jobs of many high-bandwidth users require these individuals to use high-bandwidth services.
B) Placing no restrictions on the bandwidth of individuals who use high-bandwidth services would force ISPs to purchase massive amounts of expensive additional bandwidth, disproportionately increasing the price of access for low-bandwidth users.
C) A strong and well respected lobbying firm recently revealed it has been hired by large telecommunications firms to oppose Net Neutrality on the grounds that it infringes upon a private company's ability to do business.
D) One country that mandated Net Neutrality saw a decrease in satisfaction of Internet users.
E) A recent court ruling upheld the principle that technology companies cannot discriminate in whom they serve or how they serve users.

is it b??
another 1 i found dicey
Authors writing detective stories frequently include a brilliant detective and an incompetent investigator who embark on separate paths in an attempt to solve a crime. The separate accounts frequently consist of the incompetent investigator becoming distracted by the criminals' well-planned attempts and the competent detective solving the case after a violent confrontation. Many literary analysts believe authors often choose this storyline in an attempt to provide readers additional complexity and challenge in solving the investigation.
Which of the following most logically follows from the statements above?
A) A well-written detective story consists of an investigation being undertaken by a competent and incompetent investigator.
B) Some authors use an incompetent investigator to show the complexities of an investigation.
C) Authors never write stories with incompetent investigators who solve a case correctly.
D) Authors can use the separate investigative accounts to make predicting the correct outcome of the investigation more difficult.
E) Authors write stories with competent and incompetent investigators to show the complexity of real life.

Which of the following most logically follows from the statements above?A) A well-written detective story consists of an investigation being undertaken by a competent and incompetent investigator. (Judgemental. Stretching it imho.)B) Some authors use an incompetent investigator to show the complexities of an investigation. (Already mentioned in the passage)C) Authors never write stories with incompetent investigators who solve a case correctly. (Frequently, probably not always)D) Authors can use the separate investigative accounts to make predicting the correct outcome of the investigation more difficult. (Introduces a new approach to thinking about the situation imho)E) Authors write stories with competent and incompetent investigators to show the complexity of real life. (Again, stretching it a bit)
So, I'll go with D. 
are there any more decision making questions for xat?? cos most of the questions in the DM thread are asked from past yrs xat...
