ramachandran : Hello

rohit : HI
asim : HI ROhit, what is your query?

zero : IN ALL AIMCAT FROM 1520-1515 I AM SCORING B/W 10-30 MARKS(AVERAGE 35%ILE).HOW TO PROCEED FURTHER.I AM VERY WEAK IN QUANT AND VERBAL BUT COMFORTABLE WITH LR.I AM THINKING THAT I AM NOT BE ABLE TO CRACK CAT THIS TIME.PLZ TELL WHAT TO DO.
tamal : Please analyse your mistakes and do solve all the questions which you left in the exam. Practice more.

thomas : have u done all the qns in the basic sm book and in the di handout? if the di class on games and tournaments is not over just wait for that.

rohit : BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO SOLVE THE KIND OF QUESTIONS ASKED ON NUMBERS. HOW SHOULD I MOVE AHEAD?
srinivasbelvi : It is natural that one might not be able to apply the known concepts immediately under test situation. Hence practice atleast 1 sectional test every day to improve your responses.

hyca4ht43 : HI SIR, I GOT AIR BETWEEN 4 TO 300 IN ALL AIMCATS HAPPENED TILL DATE, STILL NOT SURE ABOUT MY VA AND LR QUESTION? ANY SUGGESTION?
ramachandran : More practice will help you feel surer. Best of luck

rj : HI SIR,
swapnila : Hello , please post your query.

tamal : Your percentile is decent but there is scope for much improvement. Try revising the basics as quickly as possible and do solve previous CAT papers along with AIMCAT papers.

vicky1705 : HELLO SIR/ MADAM, I WAS POOR IN VERBAL SO WORKED HARD IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND NOW I AM SCORING 90 PERCENTILE BUT MY PERFORMANCE IN QUANT IN THE RECENT TWO AIMCATS IS VERY BAD(WHICH IS TRADIONALLY MY STRONG AREA). SCORING IN 60-70 PERCENTILE. BEFORE THAT I SCORED 85,93 AND 88 PERCENTILE IN QUANT. THE PRIME REASON BEING A LOT OF NEGATIVE MARKINGS WHICH IS DUE TO IGNORANCE OF MINUTE DETAILS. WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THE NEXT 1 MONTH TO GET CONSISTENTLY IN 90S? SHALL I GO TO THE BASICS?
ramachandran : Please balance your preparation in all the areas. You seem to be more than ordinarily strong in all the areas. Please do not go overboard in any one area

divya : GOOD EVENING SIR...
asim : Good evening Divya, what is your query?

suba : HI SIR I STARTED PREPARATION FROM LAST WEEK.I WILL FINISH WITH MY BASIC BY AUGUST.DURING THE WEEKDAY 2HRS AND WEEKEND MORETHAN 6HRS. CAN U SAY ME ANY SITE OR BOOK FOR PRACTISING RC?IS MY PLAN IS FYN TO CRACK CAT??
srinivasbelvi : If you could stick to your study plan, you'll certainly perform well in CAT. Practice RCs from the basic material, RC practice book from the 2nd lot of material & RC sectional tests on SHP.

divya : SIR I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SOLVE RC PASSAGES????????????? I AM NOT GETTING THESE QUESTIONS RIGHT IN MY AIMCATS
ramachandran : Good reading habits will be a great ally for you

abcd : @RAMACHANDRAN SIR I HAVE BEEN TRYING... NO CLEAR IDEA. OUT OF MY RESEARCH IHAVE FOUND THAT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IS EXCEPTIONAL AT PAR WITH MANY INSTITUTES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. STUDENTS ARE IN VERY SENIOR POSITIONS AFTER GRADUATION SOME EVEN BETTER THAN IIMS... BUT SIR, ON A BACKGROUND OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE WOULD U RECOMMEND?
ramachandran : We do not have a specific idea

zero : HOW MANY SITTERS QUESTIONS ARE IN CAT EXAM (GENERAL IDEA)
deepak : It would vary across slots. However, there will be at least a few even in the more difficult slots.

rj : HI SIR, MY AVERAGE OF AIMCAT TILL NOW IS 60 PRCNTL, I AHEV SOLVED THE STUDY MATERIALS AND ALSO STARTED THE MOCK TESTS. NOW AM CONFUSED BETWEEN WHAT TO SOLVE, AIMCATSQUESTIONS MOCK TESTS OR THEINCOMPLETED CHAPTERS. SO PLEASE ADVICE ME REGARDING THE STUDY PLAN FOR NEXT 3 MONTHS SO THAT I GET AT LEAST 90-95PRCNTL IN CAT.
thomas : first make sure that u finish the basic books in each area. then try the online tests. the aimcats are the toughest. so do them in the end.

lsk : HELLO SIR, MY PAST AIMCATS PERCENTILES WERE 97,90,84,98,90. IN AIMCAT 515 I GOT 84PERCENTILE .YOU CAN OBSERVE MY PERFORMANCE IS LIKE SINE CURVE AND IAM NOTABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE REASON BEHIND THIS. PLS GUIDE ME
tamal : Your performance is good. Try to analyse the papers where you are getting a bit less compared to the other ones. No need to worry, this is normal.

rajan : CAN WE HAVE SET OF QUESTION FOR WRONG WORD USAGE QUESTION.
tarannumraza : the best way to prepare for such questions is by focusing on phrasal verbs and the idiomatic usage of words.go through the ques given in several va handouts and the practice ex in the sm.Use the dictionary to enhance your knowledge of word usage- open to any page and look up the complete entry for common words on that page. It's a good way to learn !

ayesha : HELLO SIR,
ramachandran : Hello Ayesha. Your question?

zero : WHAT KIND OF APPROACH SHOULD ONE FOLLOW FROM NOW TO SCORE ATLEAST 90+
ramachandran : Regular and consistent effort. Constant focus. Optimal efforts in all areas. And a never-say-die spirit

nvc : HOW MUCH ACCURATELY DO THE AIMCATS REFLECT OUR PERFORMANCE IN MAIN CAT EXAM?
deepak : Quite a lot, when taken seriously. So much so that you can base your decisions on the colleges to apply to on the basis of aimcat scores. Our experts in your city would guide you on how to go about it in a month or so.

divya : SIR I HAVE BEEN DOING MY TIME BOOKS AND GIVING ONLINE SECTIONAL TESTS BUT INSPITE OF ALL THIS MY PERCENTILE IN QUANT IS NOT GOING BEYOND 85 SO SIR WHAT SHOULD I DO???
thomas : do not lose heart. you will gradually improve as you cover all the chapters and practice more qns.

rohit : IT'S NOT BEEN MUCH TIME THAT I HAVE STARTED PREPARATION FOR CAT. TO GET A GOOD SCORE AND GAIN SOME CONFIDENCE, WHICH TOPICS YOU THINK THAT I SHOULD START WITH IN QUANTS? ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR DI?
srinivasbelvi : In quant - start working on percentages, geometry, inequalities, modulus, functions & graphs etc. Practice DI to familiarize with which your comfort would improve.

ayesha : HELLO SIR,SINCE THE PAST AIMCATS I AM STUCK BETWEEN A PERCENTILE OF 60-70..I ATTEMPT AROUND 15-15 IN EACH SECTION BUT AT TIMES MY CUT OFF IS ALSO NOT GETTING CLEARED IN THE VERBAL SECTION. IT WAS ONLY IN AIMCAT 1517..WHICH WAS WRITTEN THAT I COULD SCORE A 91 PERCENTILE....I AM NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AS TO WHERE I AM GOING WRONG ...THE LOW PERCENTILE IS ACTUALLY DEMOTIVATING ME.. CAN YOU KINDLY GUIDE ME IN THIS REGARD
tamal : Don't decide on the number of attempts, rather focus on the accuracy. Attempt as many questions as you can do.

shruti123 : HELLO WHAT IS THE STRATEGY TO ATTEMPT VA SECTION? I START WITH LR THEN RC THEN GRAMMAR. CONSIDERING THIS SECTION TO BE NOT MY BEST, PLEASE SUGGEST HOW I SHOULD ATTEMPT THANKS!
ramachandran : You can try different approaches. The AIMCATs are a good place to see what works best for YOU

tushar : HI SIR,
ramachandran : Hello Tushar

richam : THOMAS SIR, I ALREADY HAD A CLASS ON GAMES AND TOURNAMENTS AND THE FACULTY DIDN'T EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT. WE WERE JUST ASKED TO SOLVE THE HANDOUT WITHOUT BEING TOLD ABOUT THE CONCEPT. AND I'VE TRIED THE SM BOOKLET BUT I'M ONLY ABLE TO SOLVE 2 OUT OF 4 QUESTIONS IN A SET.
thomas : please try to attend another class on the same topic. it is very difficult to explain the concepts online.do contact your office to arrange for another class on that topic.

zero : WILL THE LOD OF AIMCAT'S WILL INCREASE AFTER EVERY AIMCAT
tamal : Not necessary that it will happen.

bellthecat : SIR PREPARATION TIPS FOR NUMBER SYSTEM TOPIC OF QUANT? IM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO APPROACH THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER READING THE SYNOPSIS.. SPECIALLY PRIME NUMBER RELATED. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR STRATEGY TO MASTER IT. STRONG WILLINGNESS TO LEARN MY SIDE... JUST NEED THE WAY.
tamal : After completing the basics, try to solve the questions without consulting the solution. Revise the whole chapter and if required, try to solve the previous questions one more time. Also observe the answers to find the approach of solving. Hope this helps.

tushar : I GAVE MY AIMCAT 1516 N I SCORED 76 PERCENTILE ...IS IT GOOD ENOUGH IN THE BEGINING???/
thomas : if that is your first or second test, it is a good start. try to gradually improve and get over 90 percentile.

ash : 97 PERCENTILE IN AIMCAT 1515 WOULD IDEALLY TRANSLATE TO ABOUT HOW MUCH PERCENTILE IN THE ACTUAL CAT? AND ALSO WITH 3 MONTHS LEFT FOR CAT, WHAT STAGE SHOULD I HAVE REACHED NOW IN PREPARATIONS TO GET ABOVE 99 PERCENTILE?
ramachandran : Above 99 percentile , everything being the same. It perhaps will help if you concentrate on doing more of the good work. Best of luck

ayesha : SIR, ALSO LIKE FOR AIMCAT 1515..WHERE THERE WERE ONLY TWO RC PASSAGES I FOUND THEM DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND...IN SUCH CASES WHEN THE RC'S ARE TOUGH TO APPROACH THEN HOW CAN WE DO WELL IN THE VERBAL SECTION
ramachandran : Please go by YOUR comfort level with the questions. Please try those where you are more than ordinarily comfortable

divya : SIR FROM WHERE SHOULD I PRACTICE MORE QUESTIONS???? I MEAN SIR CAN U SUGGEST ME ANY BOOK?????
tamal : You can complete TIME's material first. Then you can solve AIMCAT papers along with CAT papers upto 2008.

zero : I HAVE 10-57, 12-67, BBA-78 (TILL SECOND YEAR).WHAT SCORE WILL FETCH ME CALL FROM IIM,FMS,TAPMI,IMT-G,N. NC-OBC CANDIDATE
tarannumraza : Concentrate on giving your best and not aiming for the minimum score(there is no such thing).Your aim should be to maximise your score by understanding the fundamentals,practising ques ,taking and analysing AIMCATs

teja : I ATTENDED COACHING FOR CAT WHEN I WAS IN SECOND YEAR VACATIONS NOW I AM IN FINAL YEAR. THAT TIME I DID NOT WRITE EXAMS AS IT WILL BE USEFUL NOW TO WRITE TESTS BUT I'M UNABLE TO ACCESS THOSE TESTS HOW CAN I TAKE MY TESTS. I HAVE TO TAKE CAT EXAM IN SEPTEMBER.
ramachandran : Please approach your Centre

richam : SIR, HOW SHOULD ONE ANALYSE THE AIMCATS TO GET BEST OUT OF THEM?
thomas : first try to solve all the qns you missed without looking at the solutions.then look at the qns where u went wrong and try to solve it once more before refering the solutions.the qns u got right should also be checked so that u can know whether u have used the shortest method.

divya : AND SIR HOW SHOULD I IMPROVE MY SPEED IN DI AS THIS SECTION IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND I HV NOT BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND ALL THE QUESTIONS IN AIMCAT BECOZ OF SLOW SPEED IN DI
tamal : To improve your speed, specially in DI, you need to practice more. Try to implement speed maths techniques to make calculations faster.

lsk : DEARSIR, I AM MODERATELY GOOD AT QUANT SO IAM FOCUSSING MAINLY ON VA SECTION TO COPE UP AND ACHIEVE 90PERCENTILE IN AIMCATS BUT IN THIS PROCESS I HAVE NOT IMPROVED MUCH IN VA AND MY QUANT PERFORMANCE IS ALSO DEGRADING .PLS SUGGEST SOMETECHNIQUES TO BALANCE BOTH. I AM AT 80PERCENTILE IN VA SECTION NOW
terrimathew : Please do not ignore any section. Give equal importance to both. Since your strong area is quant, you can focus more on improving speed rather than the fundamentals. For vocab, it will help if you analyse each question and understand the reason for each correct option

shruti123 : I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING AIMCATS AND SCORING 80-83. MY QUESTION REMAINS THE SAME. HOW SHOULD I PROCEED WITH VA? AND ALSO HOW DO YOU SUGGEST IMPROVING SPEED IN QA SECTION?
ramachandran : Sustained and focused hard work will definitely help you

abc : SIR I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT FOR AIMCAT 1515 THE WRITTEN SOLUTIONS ARE NOT THERE...ONLY THE VIDEO ONE'S ARE THERE
deepak : We will check and get it rectified, thanks for bringing it to our notice.

rj : IF MY MARKS IS BETWEEN 60-70 PRCNTL IN AIMCATS HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT IN CAT? AND HOW SHOULD MY PREPRATION PLAN SHOULD BE FOR NEXT 3 MONTHS TO SCORE MAXIMUM?
ramachandran : You can expect to score over 90 percentile with focused preparation. Please cover all areas in an optimal manner. Learn from mistakes that you will commit while you prepare

tushar : I HAVE DIFFICULTY IN THE VOCAB SECTION WHERE WE NEED TO FILL IN THE BLANKS WITH "SINGLE WORD"...HOW SHOULD I WORK ON IT?
ramachandran : Good reading will help. The Hindu , for example. Word Power Made Easy will help too.

zero : MY READING SKILLS ARE ALSO NOT GOOD.FROM WHERE I START TO BRING IT UP AT PAR WITHIN 3 MONTHS.
ramachandran : Please DO make a start. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results. Our material offers you good opportunity to read.Please read The Hindu too

rask : I AM CONTINOUSLY LOOSING MARKS IN THE VERBAL SECTION, ESPECIALLY IN THE 10 QUESTIONS OTHER THAN RC AND LR.PLEASE HELP ME REGARDING THE NON-RC PART OF VERBAL.
ramachandran : Please cover our material. Supplement it with solid reading. The Hindu will be a good suggestion

abc : THE CONCEPT OF VIDEO SOLUTIONS IS REALLY NICE..BUT FOR RC IN 1515 AIMCAT THE SUMMARY OF THE PASSAGE HAS NOT BEEN EXPLAINED...
deepak : The faculty member may not have given a summary of the passage separately per se, but did discuss the passage while answering the questions. Isn't it?

karthik : WHEN IS CAT 2014 COACHING CLASSES RA STARTING AT TIME
deepak : There would be batches starting every week. Go to our office near you, they would give you info on that.

rohit : THANKS A LOT FOR THAT!! ONE MORE QUESTION. I FIND P&C AND PROBABILITY VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME. IS IT FINE IF I LEAVE THESE 2 TOPICS IN THE PREPARATION AND ALSO IN THE EXAM?
srinivasbelvi : Since there is enough time, why do you make an attempt to learn the fundamentals although you can decide to leave the difficult questions.

zero : AS MY QUANT IS NOT SO GOOD HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY DI TO CLEAR SECTIONAL CUTOFF
thomas : the only way to improve in di is by practice.try to solve as many qns as you can. your speed will slowly improve and u will become familiar with all the different type of qns.

amrusha : HI,
tamal : Hello

abc : SIR CAN YOU ALSO CHECK FOR AIMCAT 1519 THERE ARE SOME ERRORS WITH THE VIDEO..
srinivasbelvi : Will you please post the errors that you noticed at admin@time4education.com However we'll recheck the solutions once more.

ayesha : TAMAL SIR,
tamal : Please mention your query, if you have any.

amrusha : I HAVE FINISHED SOLVING THE GEOMETRY EXERCISES, HOWEVER AT THE TIME OF THE AIMCAT, I END UP UNABLE TO SOLVE MOST OF THE GEOMETRY QUESTIONS IN A TIME CRUNCH. WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE THAT?
terrimathew : Focus on speed. When practising the geometry exercise, time your performance for a set of 10 geometry questions and try to improve on that for the next 10 questions

divya : THANK U SIR!!!!
ramachandran : Welcome

ayesha : REGARDING THE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS I DO NOT PRE DECIDE THEM AND GO...BUT I AM ABLE TO ATTEMPT AROUND 15-15 RYT NOW...AND HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY ACCURACY??
ramachandran : Better knowledge will help you attempt more with confidence and conviction

shruti123 : ANY GK COMPENDIUM FOR IIFT AND IRMA? HOW SHOULD WE PREPARE FOR IIFT?
thomas : do refer our magazine and read newspaper everyday.also refer the manorama year book.

radhika : AIMCAT PERCENTILES 1520: 90 1519: 80 1518: 95 1517: 90 1516: 96 1515: 92 HOW WILL THIS PERFORMANCE BE RATED? WHAT SHOULD BE MY PEREPRATION STRATEGY FROM NOW?
tamal : Your performance is consistently good. Try to maintain and improve this in the coming exams also.

zero : THANK U VERY MUCH TO ALL
tamal : You are welcome.

karthik : WHAT WILL BE THE FEE AND DURATION TIME OF COURSE
ramachandran : PLease talk to the Centre

bhcb4k221 : AIMCAT1515 WHAT DOES QUESTION 22 MEAN
tarannumraza : The one on the usage of the word 'set'-The carpenter set great store by his tools...that is he relied heavily on them for his wo

aks : RAMACHANDRAN SIR, HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCE IN THE QUESTIONS WHERE WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY THE WRONG USAGE OF A WORD?
ramachandran : Good understanding of the word will help. Therefore, please read. Also, please refer to books like Word Power Made Easy

karthik : THANKU SIR
tamal : You are welcome

gaur : SIR HOW CAN I INCREASE MY QUATS. PLZ TELL NECESSARY TIPS . VERY LESS TIME IS LEFT
terrimathew : Focus on practising and improving your confidence in chapters which you are good at. For other areas it is important to atleast practise basic questions so that you can attempt easy questions during the exam

rj : IS IT ADVISABLE TO SKIP RC FOR SECTION 2 AS AM VERY BAD IN THAT AND END UP GETTING NEGATIVE MARKS?
terrimathew : Do nit decide to skip any part right now. If the RC is very simple, you will miss out on possible good score. On the test day, you may decide to skip based on the difficulty level

bhcb4k221 : I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MEANT BY A "BASE" OF A NUMBER
tamal : Base of a number system is a number which decides the place value of a symbol or a digit in a number.

aerosmith : CAN WE GET GOOD PERCENTILE IN 3 MONTHS PREPARATION?
terrimathew : Yes, provided your fundamentals are strong. In the last 2 months, your aim should be to improve on accuracy and maximise scores

aerosmith : HOW TO IMPROVE CALCULATION SPEED
thomas : have u done the speed maths exs?practice is the only way to improve your speed. try to do as many qns as u can.

radhika : I HAVE BEEN GETTING AROUND 5-10 MARKS LESS THAN MARKS REQUIRED TO GET AN IIM CALL DISPLAYED IN TEST ANALYSIS FOR 3-4 AIMCATS HOW CAN I FILL THE VOID?
ramachandran : Please continue to work hard. Good results are assured for a person who works with focus

aerosmith : DOES TIME CONDUCT MOCK TESTS FOR XAT ALSO
ramachandran : Yes

aerosmith : I DI NOT HAVE WORK EX, WILL IIMS SELECT ME
deepak : Neither did I, and landed in one of them. So, sure why not. Crack the CAT though, and do well in the GDPI.

aerosmith : WHAT TO DO TO IMPROVE DI?
tamal : Practice as much as possible. You can get questions from previous years' CAT papers(upto 2008).

jas : SIR I AM GETTING PERCENTILE IN THE RANGE OF 90-97 IN AIMCAT. BUT MY ACCURACY IN SECTION 2 IS ABT 50-60%. I GET AN EQUAL NUMBER OF WRONG & RIGHT ANSWERS. PLEASE SUGGEST SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY?
tamal : Probably you need to analyze the paper to find out where you are getting wrong everytime. This will help you minimizing the number of mistakes.

ash : THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY RAMACHANDRAN SIR. WITH 3 MONTHS LEFT FOR CAT, WHAT STAGE SHOULD I HAVE REACHED NOW IN PREPARATIONS TO GET ABOVE 99 PERCENTILE?
ramachandran : You are already on your way. Good luck

radhika : WHAT SHOULD BE STRATEGY WHILE ATTEMPTING LONG RC PASSAGES LIKE THOSE IN AIMCAT 1515
tarannumraza : one good way is that as you read the passage,summarise the paragraphs in a single sentence in your head or you can make a note of these in your rough paper so that you can string the ideas together to get a complete picture.easy to do so with practice! do concentrate on words like'but/yet/however/nonetheless'-they signify a change in the idea flow.

amrusha : ALSO, MY PERCENTILE SO FAR HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY 99+ EXCEPT IN THE LAST AIMCAT WHERE IT WAS 98+. I HAVE MOVED ONTO SET 2 OF THE MATERIAL. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO MAKE SURE I MAINTAIN THIS SCORE AND POSSIBLY IMPROVE IT FURTHER?
srinivasbelvi : That's brilliant. Solve sectional tests on your SHP & also take a look at previous CAT papers that are available.

gaur : SIR HOW TO DO WELL IN RC..AS VERY LONG PASSAGES ARE GIVEN SO I LEAVE THE QUESTIONS. AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO READ THE PASSAGE FOR 2 TIMES TO UNDERSTAND..
ramachandran : The passages are complex. Sustained good reading habits will definitely help. Be at it!

anshum : HI
thomas : hi, what is your question?

lsk : SIR, FOR VA SECTION WHAT DOES ANALYZING AIMCAT MEANS ? I AM REVIEWING FROM 1ST AIMCAT BUT IT'S DIDN'T FETCH GOOD RESULTS IN IMPROVING MY SCORE IN VA .PLS SUGGEST THE CORRECT/MOST APPROPRIATE WAY TO ANALYZE VA SECTION
tarannumraza : check which part of the VA section is weak for you based on your accuracy LR/RC/Parajumbles/Grammar/usage based ques/others.Then check if you have been getting easy ques wrong or have been skipping them- if yes,you need to strengthen your basics as this will sorely affect your percentile.concentrate on the type of ques you have been consistently getting wrong - there in ample time to improve

ayesha : THANKU..RAMACHANDRAN SIR..BUT I AM TRYING TO SOLVE ALL MY BASIC MATERIAL ASAP...CAN U KINDLY TELL ME HOW SHOULD WE SCHEDULE OURSELVES THROUGHOUT THE DAY ...I CAN PUT IN MAXIMUM HOURS POSSIBLE
ramachandran : Your Faculty Member who knows you more closely should be able to give you pin-pointed suggetions

nitish : 2012 CAT-91.50, XAT-91.70 GOT FORE BUT DIDNT GO FOR THAT, NOW WORKING AS CLERK IN BANK OF INDIA, FOR PROMOTION WANT TO DO MBA FIRST WHICH MBA DISTANCE LEARNING OR EXECUTIVE OR PART TIME AND FROM WHERE PLS SUGGEST

aks : I AGREE SIR GOOD READING HELPS, BUT THE THING IS WHEN U READ U GET TO KNOW 1 WAY OF USING A WORD.. IN THE EXAMINATION WHAT HAPPENS IS I AM ABLE 2 RULE OUT 2 OPTIONS BUT I GET STUCK IN THE OTHER 2 AND INVARIABLY GET DEM WRONG
ramachandran : It is a good idea to eliminate options. When the answer is not the one you had chosen, please find out why. Please learn from mistakes!

yash : HELLO SIR, MY ACADEMIC PROFILE X:88, 12TH: 95, GRAD: 71% WITH THIS BACKGROUND DO I ABLE TO GET CALLS FROM IIM'S A,B,C,LUCK,INDORE,KOZHI WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING CALLS FROM THE ABOVE LIST COULD YOU PLZ MENTION THE NAMES OF CLG'S I CAN GET IF I GET 99+ PERCENTILE IN CAT
tamal : With the profile score that you have mentioned, you can get calls from most of the IIMs, provided you have the required percentile. Please check the websites of the different IIMs for the individual selection criteria.

jas : THE QUESTIONS THAT WE USUALLY GET ABOUT WHICH PLAYER WILL LOOSE IF HE TAKES THE FIRST TURN ETC. THEY COME UNDER WHICH TOPIC? I AM CLUELESS HOW TO SOLVE THEM. IN 2-3 AIMCATS WE HAD QUESTIONS LIKE THIS. FROM WHERE TO PRACTICE?
terrimathew : Please practise questions from logical reasoning in your study material

nitish : CURRENTLY WORKING, DISTANCE LEARNING MBA FROM SMU IS GOOD FOR PROMOTION OR NOT.
deepak : Long distance programs are a big NO.

abc : ERRORS AS IN TECHNICAL ERRORS I MEAN MAAM...THE VIDEO HAS SOME FREQUENCE PROBLEM IN THE SECTION 2..DUE TO WHICH ITS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND IT
deepak : Could you send us a mail at admin@time4education.com with the specifics?

bellthecat : SIR, PREPARATION TIPS FOR NUMBER SYSTEM TOPIC OF QUANT? IM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO APPROACH THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER READING THE SYNOPSIS.. SPECIALLY PRIME NUMBER RELATED. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR STRATEGY TO MASTER IT. STRONG WILLINGNESS TO LEARN MY SIDE... JUST NEED THE WAY.
srinivasbelvi : Please seek the guidance from one of the faculty members at your center. One-One mentoring for a few minutes should help. Unless one understand the specific problem, it is difficult to make specific suggestions as you have already worked on this topic.

gaur : HOW TO IMPROVE QUANTS..??
tamal : Go through the basics and practice more.

amrusha : THANK YOU!
ramachandran : Welcome

bellthecat : HELLO SIR, MY ACADEMIC PROFILE X:91.2, 12TH: 89.16, GRAD: 9.02/10 (LATEST) WITH THIS BACKGROUND DO I ABLE TO GET CALLS FROM IIM'S A,B,C,LUCK,INDORE,KOZHI . WITH GOOD CAT I AM AIMING FOR A,B WHAT ARE THE CHANCES.. U COULD BE FRANK
ramachandran : You have a very good chance, of course. Please continue to prepare well. Your AIMCATs will give you a very accurate picture of where you stand

rj : I HAVE STARTED SOLVING THE LAST 10 YEAR CAT QUESTION TILL 2008 TOPIC WISE. HOW MUCH IT WILL BENEFIT? SHALL I FOCUS MORE ON AIMCATS QUESTIONS OR PREVIOUS YEARS QUESTION FOR MORE PRACTICE, RYT NOW AM GETTING MARKS AROUND 60-70PRCNTL IN AIMCATS
terrimathew : You can practise previous year papers but the exam patterns have changed a lot. To get familiar with latest pattern, please focus on AIMCATS

abc : YES SURE I WILL, I DID TELL THEM INITIALLY ALTHOUGH
deepak : Forward it to me. deepak.bunde@time4education.com

gaur : SIR AROUND 90 DAYS ARE LEFT SO HOW MUCH WORK I HAVE TO DO SO THAT I CAN BRING 95%ILE
tamal : It depends on your present level of preparation.

yash : THANKU SIR, AIMCAT 1520-91 %,1519-92,1518-69.7, 1517-87.9,1516-98.49,1515-97.88. HOW'S MY PERFORMANCE AND MY AVERAGE SCORE IS AROUND 60-75 QUANT 40-50, VA 25-37 EVERY TIME I USED TO DO LR FIRST FOR 35-40 MINS THAN I USED TO GO TO RC AND PARAJUMBLED SHOULD I CHANGE MY STRATEGY
srinivasbelvi : Your performance is encouraging. Things should improve as you keep practicing further. Try to spend around 30 minutes on LR as you may need about 40 minutes to tackle verbal ability

champ : SIR, IS THIS AIMCAT 1515 WAS MUCH EASIER THAN AIMCAT 1516?
ramachandran : The cutoff scores establish it

abc : SURE DEEPAK SIR I WILL...ALSO I HAVE LOTS OF DOUBTS IN THE MATERIAL IN WHICH I AM SOLVING....HOW CAN I CLEAR THEM..SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN NO DOUBT SESSIONS SINCE A WEEK
deepak : Which city are you from?

champ : SIR IF AIMCAT 1515 WAS EASIER THAN AIMCAT 1516, THEN HOW SHOULD WE RATE OURSELVES? BECOZ I GOT 44 PERCENTILE IN 1516 WHICH SURELY GAVE ME A BIG SHOCK BUT I GOT 94 PERCENTILE IN 1516? THEN HOW SHOULD I TAKE UP THESE RESULTS?
ramachandran : Your low percentile could have been as a result of poor judgement

rj : NOW WE ARE HAVING AIMCAT'S EVERY WEEK, SO WHAT SHOULD WE FOCUS ON? IMPROVEMENT OF QUESTION WHICH WERE INCORRECTLY ATTEMPTED IN PREVIOUS AIMCATS, OR THE NEW SET OF MATERIAL GIVEN BY TIME OR THE MOCK TEST, OR THE QUESTIONS OF WROKSHOP? AND AS WORKING PROFESSIONAL WE SHORT OF TIME TO DO ALL THE THINGS IN A WEEK, PLEASE ADVICE THE CORRECT PATH FOR PREPRATION AS ONLY 3 MONTHS ARE LEFT.
ramachandran : You have identified 3 crucial areas of preparation. Please do the very best you can given the constraint of time that you seem to be having. And please work harder than ever before

bhcb4k221 : HOW TO STRENGTHEN QUANT BASICS. COMMERCE WITHOUT MATHS STUDENT.
tamal : Revise the theory for every topic and solve questions in the order of increasing difficulty.

nitish : I HAVE ONLY JOINED 2 MONTHS BEFORE
deepak : Then you need to pursue a full-time 2 yr MBA.

yash : IN QUANT WHAT I DO IS I WILL START FROM FIRST QUESTION THAN WILL LEAVE THE QUESTIONS WHICH ARE LENGTHY AND DI, WILL DO TILL 30TH THAN FOR DI NEARLY 30 MINS ARE LEFT SO I WILL DO IT THAN FINALLY MA ATTEMPTS ARE NEARLY 17-20 WITH 80-85% ACCURACY HOW TO IMPROVE THE NO OF ATTEMPTS AND COULS YPU PLZ TELL ME IF THE PAPER LEVEL IS MEDIUM HOW MANY ATTEMPTA ARE REQUIRED TO SCORE ATLEAST 99+ PERCENTILE IN QUANT AND 95+ IN VA
tamal : Don't provide much thought in the number of attempts part, do as many as you can solve. Also try not to give more than 2-3 minutes in a single question. The more you practice, the better time management you will be able to do.

jas : I AM AIMING TO FINISH THE BASIC STUDY MATERIAL TILL AUGUST END. I HAVEN'T DONE THE WHOLE COURSE BUT THE CHAPTERS I HAVE DONE I GET THE QUESTIONS RIGHT IN AIMCATS WHICH GIVES ME THE CONFIDENCE TO STUDY HARD N AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. 2 MONTHS OF PRACTICE IS ENOUGH TO GET 99-100 PERCENTILE. IS THE STRATEGY OK OR PLS SUGGEST SOME IMPROVEMENTS. (AIMCATS PERCENTILE : 90-97)
srinivasbelvi : Go ahead... Devote enough time towards your preparation. I dont see a reason why you shouldn't get through.

zero : IF SOMEONE START PREPARATION FROM NOW WILL HE NAIL CAT WORKING MORE DILIGENTLY
tamal : Not impossible depends on the person's preparation.

nitish : SIR NOW I CANT QUIT MY JOB SO I HAVE 3 OPTIONS PART TIME, DISTANCE LEARNING AND EXECUTIVE MBA. AND IN GOVT SECTOR ONLY MBA IS REQUIRED NOT PGDM, SO PLS GUIDE
deepak : An exec program would require you to quit as well. As far as the other two options are concerned, we do not recommend those routes to students. It would be your call at the end though.

ag2 : HI EVERYBODY, MY SCORE HAS BEEN INCREASING CONSISTENTLY AND RECENTLY I SCORED 84 PERCENTILE HOWEVER I AM SCORING LOW IN QUANT(70 PERCENTILE) WHILE IN VA ITS AROUND 94 , WITH 3 MONTHS LEFT, HOW SHOULD I IMPROVE MY SCORE
srinivasbelvi : Improvement in scores is certainly encouraging. Spend enough time to understand the concepts explained in the Quant Basic material & solve practice exercises. Also solve practice book on Quant which is a part of 2nd lot of material. With enough practice you can certainly offset the non-math background.

yash : SIR WHILE READING COMPREHENSION I USED TO UNDERSTAND WELL IN 1ST PARA WHILE GOING DOWN BEYOND 2ND AND 3RD IT'S A BIT LIKE CONFUSING AND I USED TO LOSE CONFIDENCE ON ME SAME HAPPENS WHILE READING LEAD EDITORIALS FROM HINDU BUT SOME PARAS WHICH ARE FAMILIAR TO ME LIKE POLITICS I COULD COMPREHEND EASILY PLZ HELP ME REGARDING THIS SIR
ramachandran : Please be at it, dear Yash. That is the ONLY way forward. Good luck

zero : CAN AN AVERAGE PERSON DO IT
ramachandran : Yes

champ : AND WHAT ABOUT THIS HIGH PERCENTILE?
ramachandran : Could reflect your true calibre. Also, please watch your percentile carefully in the subsequent AIMCATs

sonu : IT WAS MY 1ST AIMCAT AND I SCORED 50...HOW COULD I IMPROVE IN 2 MONTHS??
ramachandran : Please prepare with courage, confidence and conviction. Optimal preparation in all the areas will help you. Good luck

rohit : HELLO.. SIR GOOD EVENING. MY QUESTION IS THAT WHEN I WAS GIVING THE AIMCAT1515 I WAS NOT ABLE TO SOLVE QUANT SECTION SO PLEASE GIVE SOME TIP TO IMPROVE MY MATH....
tamal : Try to revise the basics of the topics one more time. Also solve all the questions that you didn't do in exam.

yash : PLZ SUGGEST ME SIR DOING MBA IN IIM'S IS BETTER OR SHALL I PREFER MBA IN FOREIGN BY GIVING GMAT

srinivasbelvi : Prepare around 3 hours every day for the next 2-3 weeks. Then increase your study time based on AIMCAT performance. Focus more on your weaker areas to start with.
