My Approach to CAT

Motto:

“Everything in this world can be seen as you wish to. Good or Bad; Simple or Complicated; Easy or Difficult. Its not how things are; its about how you look up to them. …and how you look up to them is all up to you.”

 

Marking Scheme:

Use the 5 mins (before opening the question booklet) wisely.

See how marks are distributed +4, -1 or +4, -1/4, in the former be choosey in the later take risks.

Check for section wise marking and number of questions per section.

 

Typically CAT looks like:

It will always have one section tough and rest easy. 

Approx no of ques wud be around 75 with total marks 300 and expected cutoff around 110

Question selection:

Dont try for ques 1 thru 25, just go through the questons and select easy ones first.

Just need to have around 8-9 correct answers out of 25 to clear cut-off.

Trust me you will find atleast 8-9 easy ones.

 

Sequence of answering:

My experience says, Quant -> DI -> VA/RC

 

Words of caution :

RC is the “killer”, Time consumed vs marks ratio is too low here. 

Rather trust on vocab and grammar.
