WHAT DOES THE GUIDE CONSIST OF:
The guide is divided into 14 levels.

this section of the guide will help students build a strong base of spoken and
written English as well as strengthen your mathematics in the simplest way

mathematic skills are strong it is still recommended to go through them in
order to freshen your memory and clear any doubts you may have.

LEVEL 6
level 6 is learning strategies- all students
study in the same classes, same coursework and most students have an average
level of intelligence but what sets apart a topper from the rest is the
strategies he used to prepare for the exam and strategies to solve the paper.
This is an
excellent collection of the best tips, tricks and shortcuts to reduce your
solving time and increase your accuracy. it has some very important strategies
like
§ How to
eliminate options
§ How to
find sitters in cat
§ Test
taking strategy in detail divided in 4 parts
§ Improving
RC speed
§ 80 rules
to solve SC
§ Para jumble strategy, verbal
strategy divided in 5 parts etc.
This level
is divided into:
v Quant strategy
v Verbal strategy
v RC strategy
v SC
v LR
v Grammar
v CR
v CAT
v Test taking
LEVEL 7-
Once
you have cleared your concepts, practiced all the workbooks, learnt all the
strategies and shortcuts and solved 50 mock CATS, now is time to attempt the
pro cats.
I have
included mock cats of time and career launcher, which, according to me are the
best and most helpful.
There are 44 mock cats of career launcher and 10
mock cats of time.
These
mocks are the best of the best chosen from the mock cat series of cl and time.
I personally went through all the questions and then categorized them according
to level of difficulty and quality of questions.
After
solving these you are absolutely ready to bell the cat
LEVEL 8-
Level 8 is solving previous year cat papers. It
is important to attempt the previous year paper because cat is completely
unpredictable. No one can predict the type of questions that will come in the
exam. It is advised to practice the previous year papers to give you an
understanding of the exam. The level of difficulty, the pattern and how and
what kind of questions will come in the exam.
I have
tried to add as many versions of the solved papers so in case you don’t
understand how a particular question is solved, you can try the other solved
paper because the method of solving a question differs from individual to
individual. TheCAT papers are from 1990 to 2011.
LEVEL 9-
Level 9 is all in one list. While solving the
mocks and practicing workbooks you might need to go through a particular
concept or may be you can’t remember a particular formula. Going through the
entire text book just to search for one formula is a huge waste of time. For
that very reason I have compiled all the important list of concepts and
formulas, shortcuts that you might need while solving the papers and workbooks.
LEVEL
10-
Level 10
is Studying with softwares. This is one of the added advantages of
the guide. Most students are habituated to using paper and pen while studying.
These softwares are designed to get the students habituated to using the
computer for studying. These softwares are for reading comprehension,
vocabulary, English pronunciations, word power made easy, verbal tests, cat
tests, Kaplan and Princeton softwares etc. these will help you get the feel of
the real cat exam. It is good to habituate yourself with the computer so that
when you appear for the exam it doesn’t feel strange.
LEVEL
11-
Level 11
is revision. it is a very
important level and most CAT coachings skip this step.
Since most
students prepare for a cat for almost a year, it is impossible to remember each
and every formula and each and every concept that you studied a year ago.
Therefore this level helps refresh your memory and helps you revise the entire
syllabus that you have studied so far. The revision level consists of 3 parts.
v Quant revision
v Verbal revision
v Grammar revision
I have
tried my best to shorten the concept and list out all the important formulas in
a few lines. This will help you to revise quickly without wasting any time. I
have also added a few basic problem solving questions so you can quickly revise
how to solve the problems as well.
Therefore
you can save a bundle of time by just using this level to refresh your memory
incase you have forgotten any of the concepts or formulas.
LEVEL
12-
Level 12
is solving mock papers of other entrance exams.
This level
is also an important step. most students skip this step and don’t bother
solving other entrance exam papers because they feel it’s a waste of time since
cat is a different test but you should always remember that MBA entrance exams
like snap, mat fms, iift, xat, cet etc have excellent questions of the same
difficulty level as cat. You might get lucky and find a question that might
come in your cat exam. The syllabus of all MBA entrance exams are the same.
Even GRE and GMAT have the same syllabus so you are actually getting free
additional practice material .another plus point is that it is of a high
difficulty level therefore try not to skip this step. Trust me it is very
helpful.
LEVEL
13-
v Level 13 is reading
articles from experts about cat strategies.
In this
level, I have added the most beneficial cat articles written by the industry
experts. This provides a lot of information on additional strategies, shortcuts
and tricks you can use to solve the paper.
v I have also included
analysis of previous papers which basically is a step by step explanation of
what came in the last paper, the level of difficulty ,number of questions etc.
with the help of this you can predict the cat paper to some extent.
v Selection criteria of all
IIMS, college ranking with websites and phone nos are also given.
I want the
students to have all the information they need so they don’t have to waste time
googling any more.
v Studying for cat should be
your main focus. My students should not stress out about finding all the
information that’s the reason I have provided every important information that
a student could ever need.
v Many students come to me
with doubts about choosing a specialization. So For those students who are
still confused about their specialization I have included articles from
industry experts on details of the specialization, packages, scope and all the
details required to make a solid decision.
v Also included are interview
with CAT toppers to learn about their experience and strategy. It is impossible
for all of us to know at least one person who topped cat or studying in an IIM.
Even if we find them on face book they might be too busy to reply. Therefore
with this section you can get to know about all the cat toppers, what they
studied, how, when and from where they studied. You can personally relate to
them by reading their experiences.
LEVEL
14-
The last
and final step is step 14-preparing for GD-PI.
This step
comes after you have appeared for all the exams. Once you get a call from any
of the colleges you have to appear for a group discussion and personal
interview. Few colleges have also added a written assessment test.
This
section will give you all the information you need about group discussion and
personal interview.
Starting
from the basics about what they exactly are, what are they judging, how do they
judge, from where do they find the questions, how to answer the questions, what
to so during GD PI, how to behave, how to sit, how to talk, The GD PI questions
previously asked by colleges, some cat topper interviews about their gd pi
experiences, what was asked, how they answered etc. and lastly gd pi topics
that can be asked in future.
Getting a
100% score in cat doesn’t guarantee admission in IIM. You have to clear both
rounds of GD and PI to confirm your seat in the top B-schools. Therefore it is
as important as studying for cat and hence you should be prepared. You should
have knowledge about what are they judging in these rounds, what can be asked
and how and what you have to answer.
This
covers the entire guide.
A-Z
information and study material you need for your MBA entrance exams prep .from
learning about CAT to preparing for GD PI. Everything that you require is
covered in this guide. All concepts, workbooks, strategies are covered. All the
information you need is given to you, neatly arranged in order. All you have to
do is switch on your pc and open the guide.
I always
say this to my students -. “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow
has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” ― Mother Teresa
Most students are working or are in their last semester and busy
studying so you have to devote all the left over time and energy you can to
prepare for CAT
It
requires a lot of hard work and dedication.
As the
saying goes- You may delay, but
time will not.-Benjamin Franklin
I don’t
want any students wasting time searching for fundas, mocks, strategies, Tips,
shortcuts or even articles about cat that’s y I have tried to make a small
contribution to make their lives easier. I have included every possible thing
you could ever need for your preparation. NOW, you can devote all your energy
and time in studying for cat and leave the rest to me…
I hope
this Guide helps you take the first step towards securing your future.
Please do
mail me for any doubts regarding MBA entrance exams preparation.
I will try
to reply to all your queries as soon as possible.
Thank you
for your patience.
Good
luck!!
