ghca4a097 : HELLO SIR
asim : Hello, what is your query?

aaa : HELLO SIR, HOW WAS THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF THE 3 SECTIONS OF THIS AIMCAT
supratim : Replied for another student. Check in chat box.

simran : WHAT IS THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF EACH SECTION IN THIS AIMCAT COMPARED TO CAT EXAM
supratim : It depends on your preparation level. The paper has enough number of easy and moderate difficulty level question as it will be there in CAT.

ghca4a097 : I FOUND THE PAPER EXTREMELY HARD BUT MY FRIENDS GOT BETTER MARKS
abhishek : It depends on the preparation levels.

varc_i_hate_u : I FIND VARC TOO DIFFICULT, AFTER READING AND UNDERSTANDING PASSAGE, ANSWERS GET WRONG. 4 CORRECT FROM 15 ATTEMPTED, HOW TO IMPROVE?
amitpoddar : You may need to practise some critical reasoning as RC questions are mostly based on most agree, least likely,most strengthen, if true, if false, etc.For VA, pls complete both the VA booklets given to you and take some doubts based on the issues you face.

ghca4a097 : GIVE US A SCHEDULE TO STUDY AND HOW TO STUDY BETTER

IT'S SEEMS I HAVE LOST THE WAY. PLEASE HELP
supratim : You need a strategy for each section. In VA/RC you may solve 2 RCs followed by VA and then again RC. In LR/DI- pick and choose your sets correctly and solve in order. In QA - take 11 questions in 20 min and then the rest 11 in next 20 min. Solve the easy and moderate ones.

vicky : SIR,WT IS THE OBC CATEGORY CUT OFF IN CAT EXAM FOR IIMS
amitpoddar : 70-75%ile....Cut offs may vary for different IIMs, AN ONLY CLEARING CUT OFFS DO NOT GUARANTEE CALLS.To get calls from IIMs you may need anythimg close to 85%ile....

aaa : HOW TO INCREASE SPEED FOR EACH SECTION. I FEEL SPEED IS MY ONLY ISSUE.
philipthomas : Do more sectional tests, tell yourself that your task is to work upon all questions not necessarily to get the correct answers to all the questions keep an eye on the clock and stick to timelines

aru : GD EVENING SIR,CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME THAT HOW TO JOIN TELEGRAM GROUP?
abhishek : Check with your centre head, he/she shall help you

dncb4a011 : HELLO SIR, PLZ GIVE SOME TIPS HOW TO ATTEMPT VARC SEC. THERE USUALLY SOME VERY DIFFICULT WORDS WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO RELATE.

sai : HELLO SIR .READING OF THE PASSAGE TAKES A LONG TIME .EVEN IF I READ IT I CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS .HOW TO OVERCOME THIS??
philipthomas : Read the passage paragraph by paragraph, not everything together

srimadhava : HELLO SIR PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS ON HOW TO IMPOROVE MY DILR AND QUANT SCORES AND HAVE THEM CONSISTEN
govindrajan : As DILR does not have a defined framework or any set of formulae/concepts. Practicing as many sets as posible is the way out. After solving every set, even if you are able to solve, go through the soltions. Once you read the initial few lines of a puzzle/DI set, you will get to know what kind of puzzle/DI set we are going to solve. This does not take more than 30 to 40 seconds. Give a quick read to the given data spending about a minute time. Do not try to analyse the information at this stage. Spend a couple of minutes to read the questions and the type of answer choices. In case the questions have "If" conditions, it indicates that we get more than one possible solution. The questions let us know how to use the given information. All these should happen in about 3 minutes. Then start going through the information carefully. While doing this decide which statement to be picked up first and the order in which the other pieces of information are to be used. This way we can have a smooth flow of thought process and take less time to solve.

ri : HOW TO PREPARE DM AND GK FOR XAT ?
govindrajan : Special calsses will be conducted for DM and GK. Relavent material and mock tests will be provided. Please check SHP for schedule.

lncb4a115 : SIR...WHILE SOLVING QUESTION IN QUANTS IT IS TAKING TIME...HOW TO SOLVE IT...?
abhishek : Let it take time if you are at initial levels of preparation. Focus on getting the answer and learning the concept, not focusing on time. Later shift to a time based solving.

d : HELLO SIR. CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE SOME TIPS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING TO TAKE OUT SOME TIME TO STUDY. OWING TO THE LONG WORK TIMINGS , I AM UNABLE TO MAKE ENOUGH TIME FOR PREPARATION. PLEASE GUIDE
philipthomas : As per the students of previous years, the best time for preparation would be before you leave for work.

shubho : SIR IN THIS MOCK MOST OF THE INFERENCE BASED QUESTIONS WENT WRONG BUT I DID NOTE THAT MOST OF THE QUESTIONS WHICH WERE DERIVED FROM THE PASSAGES WERE CORRECT HOW DO I IMPROVE MY ACCURACY ON INFERANCE BASED QUESTIONS
shashidar : Practice inference questions from standalone CR exercises

ri : HOW TO PREPARE FOR SNAP AND NMAT ALONG WITH CAT ? WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE THESE THESE EXAMS BEFORE OR AFTER CAT ?
abhishek : NMAT and SNAP prep is mostly included in CAT prep,except for a few topics in LR. So when you are preparing for CAT, preparation for NMAT and SNAP is mostly done. NMAT can be preferable scheduled a week or two around CAT.

hitler : HOW TO SOLVE SELF ADMINISTERED AIMCATS
abhishek : Take them like regular AIMCMATs. Schedule 2 hours for the test followed by 6-8 hrs of analysis.

ariyan : HELLO SIR, HOW TO FOCUS ON READING COMPREHENSION AND MAINTAIN PATIENCE WHILE READING PASSAGES?
shashidar : The key to cracking RCs is to understand the passage as you would've written it & by noting down keywords of each para in sequential order in your scrap sheet

ghca4a097 : SIR MY QUANTS IS EXTREMELY WEAK WHERE SHOULD I START TO BUILD FOUNDATION AND HOW MUCH SHOULD I STUDY
supratim : Solve simple equations, ratio-proportion-variation and percentage-profit and loss chapters in that order from SM booklet. Then write sectional tests of these chapters. You will start getting a rhythm

sharan : HELLO SIR. I HAVE AN DIFFICULTY IN SCORING FOR DILR. BASICALLY I AM ABLE TO DO THE SETS AFTER THE EXAM BUT DURING THE TEST FOR ME 40 MIN IS NOT ENOUGH AS I AM BECOMING TENSED. HOW TO OVERCOME THIS?
supratim : Write online sectional tests of LR-DI regularly. Revise all LR-DI sets of previous AIMCATs.

akshat : HEY SIR . I THOUGHT REALLY ABOUT MY DROP YEAR , AND AFRAID THAT THEY WILL NOT SELECT ME ON THE BASIS OF MY 2 YEARS GAP . AND I ALSO THINK THIS EFFECT MY PREPARATION AS WELL . DOES THEY REALLY CONSIDER GAP YEAR THAT MUCH ? IF NOT IIMS, AND WHAT ABOUT SIBM PUNE OR NMIMS MUMBAI ??
supratim : There is no issue with drop year.

aru : SIR HOW MUCH QUESTION SHOULD I SOLVE ON REGULAR BASIS IN QUANTS? IF I START MY PREPARATION FROM AUG
supratim : 20 questions/day. Gradually increase the pace.

sharan : FOR VARC I AM IN THE BEGINNING LEVEL PLEASE SUGGEST A PLAN FOR THAT ASWELL?
amitpoddar : Read, on a daily basis, areas which are tough for you. Practise VA questions and RCs from the booklets provided to you for at least 1-2 hrs. Take 5-6 sectional tests per week and properly analyse the mistakes done.

hitler : WHEN TO START GIVING SAMCATS
shashidar : Do that after AIMCAT 2505 so that you have continuity till Nov 24

ragini : MY VARC PERFORMANCE WAS REALLY GOOD IN THIS AIMCAT. I HAVE ALSO IMPROVED MY DILR PERFORMANCE THIS TIME, AND I AM GONNA KEEP IT UP! BUT I AM DISSATISFIED BY MY QA SCORE. COULD HAVE SCORED ABOVE 95 HAD IT BEEN BETTER! I NEED TO NCREASE BOTH ATTEMPTS AND ACCURACY IN QUANT. PLEASE SUGGEST SOME STRATEGY TO PREPARE BETTER FOR QA.
supratim : Take 11 questions in the first 20 minutes. Identify and solve all the easy and moderate ones. Repeat it for the next 11 in the next 20 min. However, remember no strategy works without knowledge. So write online sectional tests of quant and solve from SM booklets.

bumrah : IS EWS CATEGORY BENEFICIAL OR IS IT APPROPRIATE TO FILL THE CAT FORM IN GENERAL CATEGORY
abhishek : Ofcourse or it is beneficial

aru : SIR PLEASE SUGGEST ME SIR THAT HOW TO PREPARE LRDI FROM NOW ?
govindrajan : If you have not started till now, for each - Go through class room notes and handout, followed by exercise (a) of that topic from SM and online foundation test. After covering a few topics in each area, start solving online intermediate tests and exercise (b). Take one mock test every week. Your priority should be accuracy while taking mock tests but not number of attempts. Start taking mock tests without waiting for coverage of the syllabus. Did you check for how many questions you are getting negative marks? Instead of trying to attempt more number of questions, ensure that you give correct answers even if the number of attempts is less. This way you will score more. The first step towards a planned preparation is to identify your string and weak areas. Spend a day on this. Divide you time in such a way that you spare more time for weak areas and less time for strong areas. You may plan to cover two or three areas each day. If you chose to cover two areas, cover the other two areas the next day. Take at least one online test every day and one mock test every week. Use mock tests to experiment with mock tests to build test taking strategy. Your focus should be to give correct answers to whatever questions that you attempt in the mock test, even if the number of attempts is very low. As you practice you will be able to attempt higher number of questions with improved accuracy. Do not wait for syllabus to be completed to take mock tests. Focus on day to day improvement bhut not on how much more to be covered. Do not compare your progress or mock scores with others. You compete with yourself.

ghca4a097 : SIR SHOULD WE ATTEMPT SECTIONALS EVEN IF WE ARE NOT GOOD AT THAT TOPIC ...SHOULD WE ATTEMPT ONE SECTIONAL PER DAY FOR EACH SUBJECT
supratim : Write sectionals everyday. But write the sectional test only when you have done that chapter/topic thoroughly from SM booklet.

hritik : MY VARC SCORES HAVE CONTINUED TO DETERIOATE FAILING TO EVEN HIT A TWO DIGIT MARK, ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING RCS FROM THE TEXTBOOK AND READING HINDU EDITORIALS. PL. GUIDE ME ON HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY VARC SCORES.
philipthomas : Suggest that you focus only on RC during the next 2/3 AIMCATs.

srimadhava : HELLO SIR PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS ON HOW TO IMPOROVE MY DILR AND QUANT SCORES AND HAVE THEM CONSISTENT
supratim : Your AIMCAT score is reflection of your knowledge base. So first improve your knowledge base. In AIMCAT, have a strategy for both LR-DI and QA section. Identify easy and moderate sets/questions before solving them. Do not waste time in trying the difficult ones.

varc_i_hate_u : THANK YOU SIR FOR ANSWERING EARLIER QUESTION. MANY TIMES, I READ THE PASSAGE MULTIPLE TIMES, AND NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENT WHICH IS USUALLY WRITTEN IN VERY COMPLEX STRUCTURE USING UNUSUAL WORDS. BECAUSE OF THAT I AM FACING PROBLEMS IN TEST AS WELL AS DURING ITS ANALYSIS POST TEST. I HAVE STARTED READING DIVERSE CONTENT BUT STILL THE PROBLEM IS THERE. HOW TO SOLVE IT?
amitpoddar : continue reading and please practise 3-4 passages on a daily basis from the SM booklets and start taking sectionals as well. You will see some good results very soon.

hritik : HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY VARC SCORES I AIMCAT, IT IS IN SINGLE DIGIT SINCE THE LAST FEW AIMCATS AND ONLY A FEW TIMES DID I SCORE 15-18
amitpoddar : Pls do 3-4 passages from the booklets on a daily basis and also solve 10-15 VA questions. Probably you lack in the basic concepts. Take some sectionls as well and, you will see your marks shoot up.

ariyan : SIR MY SYLLABUS IS NOT COMPLETE TILL DATE AS I HAVE STARTED MY PREP LATE, WHAT SHOULD BE MY FOCUS RIGHT NOW, MOCKS OR SYLLABUS COMPLETION?

govindrajan : Lot-2 booklets have higher difficulty questions. Booklets help in building logic, while sectional tests help in time management. Apart from level-2 booklets, AIMCAT-SAs also help in getting exposure to different types of puzzles/logics.

ameyrao : HOW TO IMPROVE IN RC,DOES VOCABULARY REALLY MATTER OR WE CAN INFER FROM PASSAGE EVEN IF OUR VOABLARY IS NOT GOOD
shashidar : An enhanced vocabulary obviously helps but try to figure out the contextual meaning if you hit a road bump with unrecognizable words
