T.I.M.E.'s Training Methodology
Concepts training: Helps you develop the basic knowledge and skills for various areas that are tested in CAT and other management entrance tests. The fundamental concepts are taught in relevant detail. Each session, apart from the regular chalk & board teaching, is supplemented by a discussion on handout papers, and the 'Study Material booklets'. This gives students a good exposure on a variety of problems and helps them in developing conceptual clarity at the root level. Special assistance is also given to non-mathematics students to help them improve their quantitative skills.
Doubt Sessions and other sessions/seminars: The classroom students have the privilege to attend the doubt sessions conducted by the T.I.M.E. centres on a regular basis. The students can ask their subject related doubts in these sessions. If a student is weak in a particular area, then the faculty also helps her/him in understanding the concept in greater detail for more clarity.
Apart from this, sessions like B-School counselling, Test-taking strategies seminars, Achievers' Meet, etc are also conducted to help and motivate the students.
Student Home Page: This is an online repository of all your sectional tests, full length tests, AIMCATs, GWPI Briefcase, etc. It is a personal study resource for the students where they can take various tests and have a detailed analysis on the same.
Topic-wise Videos: The student can also find the videos on basic concepts on the SHP. The videos are very useful as they cover a good number of examples, and beneficial for those students who want to revise the concepts or summarise them what they learnt during their classroom sessions.
Section-wise Testing: This module helps you achieve thoroughness in individual test areas and is delivered in an online practice test format. They contain over 9000 questions across Verbal, Logical Reasoning, DI, and Quantitative Ability areas. A certain number of tests are uploaded every month with the suggestion that you complete these tests as soon as they are uploaded. The tests are classified into the following:
- Foundation Tests: These are generally based on a single topic. Students who want more practice on a particular topic can write these tests and have a detailed performance analysis post that.
- Intermediate Tests: These tests are designed by clubbing multiple topics from a broader common area e.g., topics like Time & Distance, Time & Work, Percentages, etc from Arithmetic are combined to test the student's understanding on this. This again, is followed by a detailed performance analysis.
- Advanced Tests:These types of tests are full fledged tests where the questions can be from any area. These are time bound tests as the actual sections in CAT are.
Comprehensive Testing: Here you are tested and evaluated with a large number of test papers modeled along the lines of recent CAT papers. This would help you identify your strengths and areas of improvement for your CAT test.
- AIMCATs self-administered (AIMCATs- SA- 25 nos.):These tests are the replica of past papers and are made available to the students on their SHP. The students can take these tests at any time of her/his convenience.
All India Mock CATs (AIMCATs – 25 nos.): The AIMCATs are conducted both in Invigilated mode and Non-Invigilated mode. Unlike AIMCATs-SA, the AIMCATs are conducted over a period of two day or four day window depending upon the mode in which it is conducted. The AIMCATs are so close to the actual exam that the actual performance of a student in CAT, in most of the cases is almost the same as in AIMCATs. All in all, AIMCATs are the best bet for a serious candidate to help him gauge and fine tune his performance.
