Mission CAT 2006

Aha sounds a great idea.. We can all get together and create a platform which facilitates every1 with they needs for the prep of 06 entrance exmz..
 
i think no one is here who is preparing for CAT 2006
can any one tell me how and when to start the Prep.

and other inportant factors related to CAT
 
I gave Cat 2005 ... Believe me when i say " Expect the Unexpected "

Only 90 questions for 150 mrks. Now you would feel thats a good thing, and i would say " HELL NO "

30 questions in each section.

first 10 for 2 marks
rest 20 for 1 mark

Negative 1/3rd :p

How and when to start the prep :

Start when you have nothing in mind other than CAT .

I tried to cope with college, wasted 17k rs for tutions and ultimately couldnt study anything.

Other than that.. loads of reference material here.. http://www.managementparadise.com/forums/f11-cat-gre-gmat-vedic-maths-.html

Go nuts :)

Hi,
The CAT 2006 junta. I am posting some D-day Dos and Donts, although i know CAT is still months away. These are pointers given by a friend.

(1) DONT WEAR SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE IN
yeah. me and my new belt werent exactly compatible through feb04 exam.
funny yeah. but u have no clue wat little can also distract you.

(2) GET A RELIABLE WATCH AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BEEN USING IT SINCE A WHILE.
u need to be used to a watch. with the seconds hand et all. accurate ofcourse!

(3) DONT TALK / LISTEN TO PEOPLE ABOUT ANY SUMS/FORMULAS/ GENERAL CAT STUFF before u walk into ur center. chances are you have a simcat topper with u who got a 70 in his mocks and u never even crossed a 35 score mark.
OR
u meet a totally disheartened chippie who is cribs in a high pitched "omg i am soooo gonna get a 50%ile". you do not want a random ***** to bring u down. not worth it.

(4) TWO HOURS.
thats all you are gonna get to show yourself off to the IIM's. remember there is no space for last minute panic attacks -- brm page flipping -- or even loo breaks (yes. dont drink too much water :P not fun)
and trust you KNOW enough abt QA/DI/ENG to get the cutoffs.
 
Hi all
this is amar another aspirant in the quest of BLACKI:P:P
Well planned to gove CAT 2006 and nice to find some kindred souls it will help a lot,believe you me.Well any statergies or plannings in progress.Please make me the part of this coterie.
Will look forward for your repplies.
LETS DO IT!!!:tea:
 
Schedule -- April

So here is the rough timetable for you all who start preparin from April for CAT:

1) 15th April to 14th May :
Start working on your vocabulary and for RC section now as this
cannot be done in a short time and needs a continuos efforts
over a period of time. You may devote 1 hour a day for this
section by reading newspapers and magazines. Read from
various sources on different subjects. Keep a dictionary handy
and consult it whenever required, keep a diary of new words you
come across. Start working on fundamentals for mathematics
and on topics where you consider yourself as weak.
Multiplication of numbers till 25*25 should be remembered.
Squares and cubes of numbers till 25 should be remembered.
Pythogoras triplets with any all the arms less than 200 should be
remembered. Start working on mental calculations with
percentages, fractions etc.

After 14th May continue to spend 30 minutes on reading
newspapers, magazines etc everyday till the end.

2) From 15th May to 31st May : Devote 1 hour and 30 minutes
everyday for Data Interpretation and Data sufficiency.

3) From 1st June to 15th June : Devote 1 hour and 30 minutes
everyday for Logical Reasoning and Verbal reasoning.

4) 16th June to 30th June , Take section tests on Data
Interpretation , data sufficiency etc.

4) 1st July till 12th July for Arithmetic and Algebra.

5) 13th July till 30th July for Geometry, Set theory, Probability and
remaining part of QA.

6) 31st July to 15th Aug for Section tests on QA.

7) 11th Aug to 24th Aug for section tests on English. By now you
should score well as you have devoted 1 hour a day on reading
newspaper and on improving your vocabulary.

8) 25th Aug to 10th Sept for the section you think you did not
perform well in your section test.

9 ) From 11th Sept to Oct end : Take Full time Mock test twice a
week.

10) In Nov till CAT is held take 3 test a week.

You should be comfortably able to take 25 full time test.

Note : After each section test and Full time test you must go back
and solve the questions which you could not solve during the
given time and the ones that you did not solve correctly. Spend 2
hours on analysis after each mock.

Its a pretty good schedule for april starters.. The thing i have heard abt lately being ppl in they last year and are afraid tht april is to late to be able to attempt CAT '06.. But the keyword ova here is you are never late for CAT. Coz i have seen ppl with jst lst 3 months of prep gettin brilliant scores and those who have done classes and are taught conventinally that december or jan is the right to opt for nov cat havnt brought much bright marks... Its always the perception of how u see towards CAT. i believe this schedule is what an average grade boy can adhere to and surely have a chance to crack CAT. Hv been through many expert talk magz of IIM alumni, and convo's with present IIM grades the thing they believe in is 6 months is more than enough to crack CAT but that is when u tend to respect ur timetable and hv discipline towards your goal...!!

So guyz who are startin for cat as of nw don't worry if your friend says you too late for CAT'06, coz at the end of the day its how you use this 6 months which counts..!! :horn:

First of ALL ... you are never too late for CAT..

It all depends on how comfortable you are with what subject.

Get your base straight for Math n Di, practice to get a good accuracy and speed.

And read all you can for a strong vocab. And keep track of all current affairs so that you can score in GD, PI

That is 2 cents of advice frm my side on Belling the CAT .

perfectly correct...... i have been a TIME student from past 5 months for CAT 2006..i felt that watever i had done till today i could have done in 3 weeks max...it all depends on mind set...u want IIM or u dont want IIM...if u want no time is enough and no time is late...just stop thinkin about it and start preparing...hope my time table helps u all......
 
someone said that your are never late to start something right.
wat i have seen in my preparation was irrespective to the kind of test practice or mock it;s imp to analyse them.strenghts and weeknesses can be identified by analysing only.I made a mistake previously in this deptt.probably was not that aware of it.
Will try to learn from my mistakes and gain max from others:)
