CAT Topper Interviews - Do's and Don'ts for CAT 2009Tips from CAT Topper Siddharth S IIM – Lucknow, 2008 - 2010 Batch Do's: • Think out of box • Set Section-wise Time Limits • Attempt more Mock tests. • There is no harm in learning new concepts( though not suggested by many ) Don't s 2. During those 2 and half an hours • Be in the best of moods on the D-Day • Don't Panic • Don't leave any section in the midway 3. CBT - How is it different? • It would probably be difficult in terms of marking key words in RC passages and interpreting data in DI • "It's not the end, Life is not all over". Students who have got more than 85 percentile, should consider taking a shot at CAT '10. Tips from CAT topper Neeraj Ramnani, IIM – Indore, 2009-2011 Batch 1. Week before CAT. Do's: • Try to cover brush up your strengths and some shortcut techniques • Relax yourself , go for a movie or spend sometime with your loved ones Don't s • Don't over-prepare at the cost of relaxation – stay calm • Don't be prejudiced, you can't predict the type of questions that'll be asked much • Avoid eating out 2. During those 2 and half an hours • Avoid Random guessing • Even if you can't get many questions right, don't panic. Maybe the paper is really difficult and others are also struggling. Hang in there! • Do your weakest section in the middle 3. CBT - How is it different? • The length of RC passages probably gets reduced though I don't think there will be a phenomenal change in the difficulty of questions • "Don't lose heart”. There are many other exams, and you can always try again! Tips from XAT Topper Raman Choudhary, XLRI - Jamshedpur, 2009-2011 Batch 1. Week before CAT. Do's • Be yourself - No matter what anyone might say, your way is still the best way. Just believe in it • Device a Strategy which you are comfortable with Don'ts • Focus on Sections - Instead of looking at CAT as a matter of three discrete sections treat them as a whole. • Stop thinking about the past: Many times, the exam tends to be like a flashback inducer, which starts flashing your past before your eyes, once you start getting stuck on a question 2. During those 2 and half hours • Have fun: Get your dad or someone close to drive you down to the centre. Sometimes those fifteen minutes with that someone makes all the difference between a stomach with butterflies and a resolve of steel. • Time yourself: Don't fall in love with any question 3. How is CBT different? Computers don't change things: The introduction of an online test changes nothing. It is still the same game, just different pitches. So don't worry, just focus on the answers 4. What if you don't clear CAT? Give XAT or any other MBA exams and Stay positive. Good luck everyone!
