Steps to crack Common Admission Test CAT 2012: An expert guide

Planning to appear for the CAT this year? ARKS Srinivas, CEO, VistaMind Education Pvt Ltd tells you how to strategise your planning and preparation so that you can optimise your performance.

 

Taken by over two lakh students in the country, the Common Admission Test (CAT) is undoubtedly, one of the most competitive exams in the country.

A prerequisite for entry into the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management, performance in the CAT is also crucial for admission to a host of other top b-schools in the country including Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi, Management Development Institute-Gurgaon, SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai, Indian Institutes of Technology and the like.

Since it is an entrance exam to MBA institutes, it tests the aptitude of the candidate in areas of Quantitative Ability, Logical and Analytical Ability, Data Interpretation and Verbal Ability. Interestingly, these are also some of the basic ingredients of a would-be manager.

The CAT tests the ability of the student to find out how s/he uses the twin resources of knowledge and time to ace the test, given the performance pressure.

         It has Two Sections. The first section was Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation and the second section comprised questions on Verbal and Analytical Ability.

Each section consisted of 30 questions and with a time limit of 70 minutes. A student can take only one section in the prescribed time. Another disadvantage being that a student cannot switch between sections.

However, given infinite time and no pressure, any above average student can get a score good enough to get a 99 percentile. The fact that the exam is time-bound and there is infinite pressure to perform (a la world-cup final), only the best finally make to the grade!

While the exam is easy, the fact that more than 2 lakh aspirants write the exam compete for the coveted 4,000-odd seats, makes this exam the toughest around in the world!

Hence, to ensure that you come up trumps, you need a comprehensive strategy for preparation and for test-taking.
