CAT – A brief understanding
The Indian Institute of Management Indore, which is conducting CAT this year, has declared that the test will be held in a 20 days window between October 16 and November 11, 2013. Registration for the same will begin on July 29.
With CAT being one of the most competitive B-school entrance examination, it needs hardcore in- depth preparation, where nothing can be left to chance. One should start preparing for this computer-based examination at least six months in advance. Your high percentile in CAT awards you with opportunities to enter top B-schools like IIMs, FMS, IIFT, MDI etc.
Making it organized
CAT no doubt has a vast syllabus, it is like a big banyan tree with multiple branches, and every branch has got its due importance. One thing is however, clear you have to go up the trunk to reach those branches else will remain unfamiliar with it.
Find out the factors
If you are a commerce graduate or graduate with statistics, you may have good command on Data interpretation, Logical reasoning. If you are an engineering graduate or a graduate in Physics or Mathematics, you may have strong aptitude to solve questions based on Quantitative Ability. Students of Arts & Literature – as a general presumption - may have better skill in spoken and written standard English language. Hence first of all, you need to analyse your strength and weaknesses and how much time you may be required to devote to your weak areas.
The Analysis
Now looking at the syllabus and past pattern of CAT examination, there may be weak areas even in your strong holds. There you will have to study and practice more, and on the other hand there may be a few topics in your weak areas where you are stronger enough and you may need less revision and practice sessions for them. Strategically, you must find out such weak areas and segregate them from the strong ones.
MBA Aspirants who seek to score high percentile must begin with the section they like most. Another option is to take some expert guidance –how to proceed. A good preparation centre/mentor may help you find the root cause of your weak areas.
Some Aspirants have weak fundamentals. For example, while they can solve the jumbled paragraphs with certain short-cuts, instincts, elimination method but at the same time, they don’t have ability to connect the sentences logically. Such Aspirants need to begin their preparation with Grammar, Vocabulary, contextual use of words or sentences, correct usage, and practice of Reading Comprehension passages.
