Chat on preparation tips for QA/DI and LR!
(Chat Transcript)


hari : HELLO THERE! WHILE PREPARING FOR QA AND LR AND DUE TO THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE, I MAY LOOK THE SOLUTIONS OF THE APPROPRIATE SECTION. IS THAT OKAY FOR THE BEGINNERS?
thomas : Try your best without looking at the solutions. You will learn only by trying and then looking at the solutions to see where you went wrong or where you missed a shorter approach. Directly looking at the solutions will make the question appear to be very simple and it is not going to stick in your mind ( the way of solving)


ronak : SIR CAN YOU SUGGEST HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY LR
siddhartharora : For LR, the best way is only practice, make sure you read full question and write or note every single word written, since in LR every word has a meaning or requirement to be mentioned, so make sure of that No problem if you take more time initially but practice will help you to increase speed.


vnca4a011 : MAI APNI PREPARATION 6 MONTHS ME KAISE COMPLETE KRU
abhishek : It is a difficult task but can be done. Firstly, have a fixed timetable. Know your weaknesses and distribute time accordingly. Start with basics, move on to concept application and conclude with test taking.


saksham : THE QUESTIONS IN QUANTS BOOKLET (EXPECT FOR THE VERY DIFFICULT CATEGORY) SEEMS QUITE EASY TO SOLVE. THOUGH ON SOME QUESTIONS, I MIGHT TAKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO SOLVE.
anilbh : if you are finding them easy then your prep is going good. Questions which are taking more revise them , you'll be solve them in less time also


saksham : MY QUESTION IS IF I SHOULD FOCUS ON SOLVING FASTER? CAN I EXPECT THE SAME LEVEL OF QUESTIONS AS THOSE IN BOOKLET AS OF CAT?
thomas : Practice will make you faster. The level questions will be similar or slightly tougher than in the booklet. We will be giving you enough questions of higher difficulty level than those in the booklet to Practice


hycn4q215 : HOW DO WE MAKE OURSELVES BETTER AND TIME CONSTRAINT IS WHAT I LACK SO WHAT DO I DO
anilbh : once you are done with topic in class solve book and then sectional test from SHP.. follow for each topic gradually you'll see improvement


hocd44093 : SIR, WHAT SHOULD OUR DAY TO DAY LOOK LIKE FOR THE NEXT MONTH.
anilbh : be regular with classes and HW and also write atleast foundation level test of those chapter which you have already covered


subhash : I HOW IMPROVE READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS AND CAN YOU SUGGEST THE SOME WEBSITE WHERE I CAN FIND VARIETY OF PASSAGE OTHER THAN STUDENT HOME PAGE?
thomas : Please post this question in the chat for varc preparation. Our English faculty would would help you


mukherjeeshrest : HOW TO MASTER TIME SPEED DISTANCE PROBLEM
siddhartharora : The only way it to practice more, read the concepts agsin from SM, and solve the handout again, once done try solving the questions from SM. If still the topic is not clear ask for a doubt session from centre.


lol : HEY, IS TIME BOOKLET IS ENOUGH TO CRACK CAT???
siddhartharora : You need to solve the booklet and then move to Sectional Tests, then to SAMCAT and AIMCATs. That will be enough.


jrca4a236 : SIR I AM NOT ABLE TO SOLVE QUANTS QUESTIONS I SEE VIDEOS TAKE CLASSES AND THEN ALSO I AM NOT ABLE TO SOLVE ANY NEW TYPE OF QUESTIONS AND I AM VERY MUCH AFRAID OF QUANTS SECTION PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO
siddhartharora : Try to follow this (which I have just given to another student as well) --- Start your preparation from SM1002220. Solve it to revise the basic concepts, once done make sure that all Handouts done in class are redone at home. Read the solved questions from SM and start doing the questions as per the order given in SM, in case of issue, revise the concepts and redo the problems. If you are still not able to solve, check the solution and wait for few days so that you forget the solution but remember the concept and redo the questions. Only practice can make you good, do not worry you just need time, you can do it.


hari : AMONG THE 3 SECTIONS, I AM QUITE WEAK IN QUANT AND MAY BE DUE TO THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IN CONCEPTS, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET ON TO THE RIGHT TRACK. COULD YOU PLEASE GUIDE ME ON THIS?
siddhartharora : Start your preparation from SM1002220. Solve it to revise the basic concepts, once done make sure that all Handouts done in class are redone at home. Read the solved questions from SM and start doing the questions as per the order given in SM, in case of issue, revise the concepts and redo the problems. If you are still not able to solve, check the solution and wait for few days so that you forget the solution but remember the concept and redo the questions. Only practice can make you good, do not worry you just need time, you can do it.


jrca4a236 : SIR WHICH TOPIC SHOULD I PREPARE TO ATLEAST SCORE 85 PERCENTILE IN QUANTS SECTION
abhishek : First booklet entirely, geometry and parts of algebra(Log, QE, Ineq) are usually sufficient for clearing the cutoff.


hasan : IS ONLINE CLASSES SUFFICIENT FOR CAT EXAM OR WE SHOULD JOIN ON REGULAR BASIS?
anilbh : our online course is also equally good. but you need to cover thing along with classes. also write sectional test of topics already covered


akanksha : HOW TO BUILD QUANT FOOUNDATION AND HAVE CONCEPTUAL CLARITY AS I DROPPED MATHS AFTER CLASS 10?
abhishek : Attend the classes regularly. Practice the questions daily and get your doubts clarified regularly. It is very important to set realistic goals(since you do not have proper math background) and try to achieve them


hhfgj : HOW DIFFICULT IS CAT WHEN IT COMPARED TO OUR AIMCATS?
thomas : Slightly more difficult than the aimcats which are over. We will ne giving you aimcawhich are of all difficulty levels. Some of them would be Slightly more tougher than the previous cat papers. This is necessary as nothing stops them from making the test tougher


lol : WHAT ARE IMP TOPICS IN LR??
siddhartharora : There is nothing as important for CAT, as they can ask from any topic anytime. You are suggested to do practice of all types of questions.


hycn4q215 : HOW DO WE MAKE OURSELVES BETTER AND TIME CONSTRAINT IS WHAT I LACK SO WHAT DO I DO PLEASE HELP
abhishek : Take sectional tests with good frequency. THat will help in revisiting the concepts and also tackling questions in a time-bound manner.


hocd44093 : WHEN IS THE NEXT AIMCAT SCHEDULED FOR
abhishek : Please get in touch with your centre or check the SHP


hocd4a442 : SIR I M A WORKING PROFESSIONAL, I M FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE ALL THE AREAS EQUALLY CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY SETS OF DI LR RC ARE ENOUGH FOR A DAY
anilbh : solve atleast 4 sets daily or atleast 24 sets weekly if finding it difficult to cover daily. its not necessary you cover everything daily but plan in a manner that you give distributed time weekly


soham : HI, CAN YOU GIVE ME A GENERAL IDEA OF HOW MY PRACTICE EVERYDAY SHOULD BE (TIME GIVEN FOR PREPARATION AND SOLVING) FOR QUANTS SO THAT MY ACCURACY INCREASES IN THE NEXT AIMCAT.
abhishek : Practice 20-30 ques daily. for increasing accuracy,please focus on getting the question right, not on time. this change in approach helps with accuracy.


: IT GETS DIFFICULT TO MANAGE CAT AND COLLEGE AT THE SAME TIME AND HENCE DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO PRACTICE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
siddhartharora : You will need to priortise things and spend your time only for your graduation degree and CAT. Drop everything else. Try to "Steal Time" from your lunch break, by reading a RC topic from your SHP on phone, or taking a sectional test between breaks or while travelling. It is your future and you will have to plan for the same.


jrca4a236 : SIR TELL ME THE NAMES OF CHAPTER THAT I DO FIRST TO ATLEAST CLEAR THE CUTOFF OF THE QUANTS SECTION BECAUSE I AM VERY MUCH WEAK IN THIS SECTION
abhishek : Answered already. First booklet entirely, geometry and parts of algebra(Log, QE, Ineq) are usually sufficient for clearing the cutoff.


udca4a034 : HLLW SIR I AM SCORING LESS MARKS IN LRDR
siddhartharora : You need to analyse the same, as to what type of questions you are scoring less, are you taking more time and attempting less or your accuracy is less.


avi : SIR/MA'AM, FOR RCS WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PRACTICE, SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PERFORM DURING TIME PRESSURE?
thomas : Please post this question in the chat for varc. You will have a chat on that topic very soon


agdtdq : HOW TO SOLVE PIE CHART RELATED QUESTION EFFICIENTLY
anilbh : practice more and more question if find it difficult to solve some particular kind of sets then take doubt session and practice again


udca4a034 : CAN U SUGGEST SOME TIPS AND PLAN WHATEVER I COVERED, I GET LRDI LESS MARKS
thomas : Lrdi can be improved only with practice. Try to solve as many sets as you can.byour speed will gradually increase. Do keep in mind that you need to solve only two out of the four sets correctly to get a very high percentile. So, selection of sets is also important


shivali : HOW MANY ANSWERS SHOULD BE CORRECT IN QUANT TO SCORE 90 % ILE
anilbh : in last actual CAT people with net score of 6 question had 90 percentile. but it may differ based on difficulty level of paper


anan : SIR WHAT IS THE PROPER METHOD TO STUDY A QUANT TOPIC AFTER IT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE CLASS
siddhartharora : Redo the Handout at home, read the concepts and solved questions from SM, solve the exercise a and b given. Once you are through with the same, start giving sectional tests on the topic for practice.


lol : SOMETIMES IN LR I DON'T THE QUESTION OR DON'T GET CLUE TO GET THE ANSWER OF THE QUESTION, WHAT TO DO??
anilbh : Its very normal for question where your understanding may be less. thats why in LRDI basic understanding is very imp.. for that practicing different type of sets is very imp. solve more and more sets and you'll observe thing will start falling in line


isha : SIR HOW TO INCREASE ONSERVATION IN DI QUESTIONS
anilbh : it need practice. practice atleast 4/5 sets daily


jrca4a236 : SIR FIRSTLY I DO SM1002220 THEN I NEED YO SOLVE SM1002206 OR VICA VERSA WHICH ONE TO DO FIRST
siddhartharora : SM1002220 is basics and is revise and redo the concepts of class VI to X and hence should be done first.


hhfgj : WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIMCATS SAMCATS
siddhartharora : AIMCAT - All India Mock CAT SAMCAT - Self Administered Mock CAT SAMCATs are available on your SHP and you can attempt them any time, once done you will get scores. AIMCAT are only done as per schedule and once done, you get both scores as well as percentile among all TIME students who have attempted the same.


: HOW MANY QUESTIONS SHOULD BE CORRECT FOR 99 PERCENTILE?
thomas : It will depend on the difficulty level of the paper. Going by past experience, a score of 100 marks out of 198 ( approximately half the maximum score) should get you around 99


hyca4a590 : I AM TAKING LOT OF TIME IN ANALYSING THE QUESTION AND TO GET SOME CLUES FORM THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.HOW TO IMPOVE MY SPEED AND ACCURACY?
siddhartharora : Practice is the only way, initially many students take more time which is fine, with practice time required will decrease.


muca4ac19 : I GAVE MY FIRST SECTIONAL TEST AND SCORED A VERY BAD PERCENTILE . IS IT OK AS I REALLY FEEL DEMOTIVATED NOW
thomas : Most students score very less in the initial few tests. Do not bother. You have enough time to prepare snd improve


anan : I AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT HOW THE SCHEDULE IS PLANNED IN TIME CLASSES, LIKE WHAT ARE THE TOPICS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE COMPLETED BY THE FACULY IN THE FIRST 2-3 MONTHS AND WHAT ARE THE TOPICS THAT ARE SCHDULED TO BE TAUGHT INTHE LAST FEW MONTHS. HOW DO I FIND A SEQUENCE TO STUDYING THE TOPICS IN QUANT?? ANY PLAN THAT CAN BE SHARED KI WE ARE DOING FOR EXAMPLE, ALGREBRA FOR FIRST 2 MONTHS FOLLOWED BY ARITHMETIC STATS ETC..
siddhartharora : You need to follow the same schedule as in the class, so not worry about which topics will be done when, just follow the same schedule and you will be doing good


jrca4a236 : SIR IF I DO PPL,SICI,TIME AND WORK , GEOMETRY
siddhartharora : Unable to understand your query


moksh : HOW MUCH QUESTIONS SHOULD WE DO TO SCORE RANK
siddhartharora : There is no rank in CAT, we have percentiles, which means what percentage of students appearing for the exam have scored less than you.


dlcb4a204 : GOOD EVENING ALL! HOW CAN I START MY CAT PREP FROM SCRACTH?
siddhartharora : For quant start with SM1002220, and then handouts in class and SM for the same, next is sectional tests.


lol : USUALLY HOW MANY SETS COME IN LR IN CAT AND OUT OF HOW MANY WE HAVE TO SOLVE TO GET HIGH PERCENTILE ??
thomas : The last couple of years you had four sets in the lrdi section. Two sets done correctly would get you at least 98 percentile


s : I’M GIVING A LOT OF TIME IN SELF STUDYING BUT ABLE TO DO VERY LESS QUESTIONS AND CONCEPTS AND IT’S MAKING ME DEMOTIVATED WHAT SHOULD I DO
anilbh : its ok if taking more time initially but with time thing will improve. if you face consistent problem then take doubt session regularly


s : I THINK THAT I WON’T BE ABLE TO COVER THE WHOLE SYLLABUS TILL NOVEMBER BY THE SPEED I’M AT RIGHT NOW
anilbh : already answered. will improve with time


jrca4a236 : IF I FOCUS ON PPL, RATIO AND PROPORTION, SICI,GEOMETRY AND TIME AND WORK CAN I GET GOOD PERCENTILE OR ATLEAST CLEAR THE CUTOFF OF QUANTS
anilbh : these topics along with AMA can help you easily if solve most of question coming from these topics. but as of now we have lot of time with us so dont focus on particular topics. if needed further discussion can be done around 2 months before CAT


hhfgj : COULD U TELL ME THE AIMCAT SCHEDULE OR ATLEAST PREVIOUS YEAR SCHEDULE.. HOW IT'S HAPPED?
siddhartharora : AIMCATs will be planned in such a way that we will end them a week before CAT. Initially once a month with increasing frequency towards CAT.


lol : IS THERE ANY NEGATIVE MARKING FOR TITA QUESTIONS??
siddhartharora : No, for TITA there is no negative marking. Make sure you read the TITA question requirement properly and provide response as per the same, as it will be checked by computer to answer has to be as required only, or else you will not score.


s : TIME ONLINE BATCH DOES NOT PROVIDE RECORDINGS WHICH IS A LITTLE STRESSFUL AS ALMOST ALL OTHER ONLINE CLASSES PROVIDE RECORDINGS AND I’M UNABLE TO GO BACK TO A CONCEPT THAT I WANT TO SEE OR UNDERSTAND
siddhartharora : You can opt for recorded course from TIME.


muca4ac19 : HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I TAKE TO COMPLETE A TOPIC INCLUDING THE MATERIAL PROVIDED?
anilbh : dont time it when solving it for first time. but once you have understood the concept then try to timed them. for which sectional test is best resourse


anan : SIR APART FROM TIME MODULES, IM ALSO SOLVING ARUN SHARMA. I FOUND IT TO BE ON THE TOUGHER SIDE, BUT ITS DOABLE. DI LR OF ARUN SHARMA IS GREAT. WHAT DO YOU RECCOMEND? IS IT HELPFUL IF I DO REFER TO REFERENCE BOOKS? ANY OTHER BOOK FOR DILR?
siddhartharora : TIME material is more than enough for preparation, once SM is done, go for sectional tests and then SAMCATs, AIMCATs and previous years papers.


s : CAN YOU TELL ONE BY ONE WHAT BOOKLETS TO DO IN SEQUENCE
anilbh : follow same sequence in which topics are covered in class


bhcn4q602 : I FEEL I LEARN MUCH BETTER BY TAKING SECTIONAL TESTS DIRECTLY AND DOING ERROR ANALYSIS OF THEM, IS THIS THE RIGHT WAY TO PREPARE?
siddhartharora : Do the problems from SM also. Sectional Tests should be taken and analysed, you are doing good on that part.


hyca4a776 : I ABLE TO EXTRACT THE CONCEPT FROM THE LECTURES AND ALSO CAN SOLVE THE SHEETS WHICH ARE GIVEN BUT I AM FAILING TO SOLVE THE QUESTIONS WHICH ARE LITTLEBIT DIFFICULT
siddhartharora : Once handouts are done, please read the chapter from SM and the solved problems, go gradually with the flow of the exercises in the book and that will help


ansin : SIR I SCORED 31 IN THE LAST AIMCAT. IT WAS MY FIRST AIMCAT WITHOUT ATTENDING CLASSES. WHAT SHOULD BE MY IDEOLOGY WHILE I ATTEMPT THE PAPER? SHOULD I SPEND THE FIRST FEW MINS SEGREGATING THE QUESTIONS AS EASY MEDIUM TOUGH OR DIRECTLY DIVE INTO THE QUESTIONS WITHOUT GIVING MUCH TIME INTO STRATEGISING HOW I ATTEMPT THE PAPER
siddhartharora : This varies from student to student and that is why every test should be analysed and new experiments should be done to see what works best for you.


s : FACING PROBLEM IN LR CAN YOU TELL WHICH BOOKLET TO DO FIRST
anilbh : go as per the flow of class.


pacific : HELLO SIR /MA'AM, I HAVE MISSED LAST 2MONTHS CLASSES DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES & JOB. WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF COVERING TOPIC & PRACTICING.
siddhartharora : Ask the centre to transfer you to a current batch, so that you can prepare properly


s : I’VE MISSED 2 AIMCATS CAN I GIVE THEM AGAIN.
anilbh : yes, once they appear in your SHP but you wont get national ranking for same


lol : IS ALL INDIA MOCK TEST SELF ADMINISTERED IS SAME AS AIMCAT??
siddhartharora : AIMCAT is All India Mock CAT SAMCAT is Self-Administered Mock CAT Both are different


dlcn4q213 : HI SIR, WE HAVE IN TOTAL 36 CHAPTERS OF LRDI IN SM BOOKLETS. EACH CHAPTER HAVE IN AVG 80 QUESTIONS TO SOLVE. EVEN IF I COMPLETE 1 CHAPTER IN 1 WEEK I AM NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE IT BEFORE NOVEMBER. WHAT CAN BE THE CHAPTERS WHICH I CAN FOCUS ON.
siddhartharora : All chapters are important and nobody can predict what will come, go in sequence and once you are able to get the grasp of it, increase the number of chapter/questions done every week to finish all before CAT.


mohit : SIR CAN YOU PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR A SELF STUDY , LIKE WE SHOULD BE DONE WITH WICH TOPIC BY WHAT TIME SO THAT WE CAN JUDGE IF WE ARE ON TRACK OR NOT?
siddhartharora : go as per the schedule in SM or as done in class. Finish the topic from SM and sectional tests before next topic starts in class.


ccca4a562 : HELLO SIR, I'M ABLE TO ANSWER ALL QA AND DI QUESTIONS BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ATTENDING AIMCAT OR SECTIONAL TESTS IT BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CHOOSE THOSE ARE EASY OUT OF THE TOUGH ONES, TWO AIMCATS ARE OVER IS THE PROGRESS SLOW, IF SO CAN YOU SUGGEST SOME WAYS TO IMPROVE IT?
siddhartharora : This happens to lot of students and that is why you need to analyse AIMCATs and see what went well and what can be improved. Try new methods of question selection and see what works best for you, experiment in Sectional Tests as well for a good strategy.


mo : WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAMCAT AND AIMCAT??
abhishek : AIMCAT SA is self administered AIMCAT. You may decide when to take it unlike AIMCAT. Difficulty level wise both are almost same level.


s : STILL CAN YOU TELL WHICH IS THE EASIEST BOOKLET IN LR
siddhartharora : Start from start and do the topics in sequence, that will help


isha : I STARTED STUDYING FOR CAT IN MARCH AND GAVE MY FRST AIMCAT IN MARCH , GOT 50%ILE,IN SECOND AFTER 1 MONTH GOT 65%ILE,AM I ON THE RIGHT PATH OR AM I GOING TOO SLOW?
abhishek : It is alright. you are doing good.


s : HOW MANY QUESTIONS TO ATTEMPT IN LRDI TO SCORE ABOVE 90%ILE
anilbh : last year one who could solve one set in CAT had percentile around 90. if difficulty level of CAT remain same as last year then 1 complete set will help you clear all IIMs cut off... but one should always focus on more


s : WILL I GET THE %ILE FOR THE AIMCATS THAT I’VE MISSED
siddhartharora : unfortunately no


ansin : SIR I'M WELL-VERSED WITH THE CONCEPTS BUT STRUGGLE WITH ATTEMPTING WITH ACCURACY WITHIN STIPULATED TIME SO I END UP ATTEMPTING WRONG! ANY ADVICE THAT CAN HELP.
siddhartharora : AIMCATs are to be analysed very thoroughly, understand what goes wrong, try to work on it. Give more sectional tests for practice.


himani : I SCORED 42 PERCENTILE IN AIMCAT3 HOW CAN I IMPROVE IT
siddhartharora : analyse it and see where have you gone wrong or took more time. Work on your weakness accordingly


isha : HOW TO INCREASE MY THINKING DIAMETER FOR DILR SETS, I HAVE ALSO STARTED SOLVING SUDOKO
anilbh : solve more and more question from our LRDI material rather than sudoku. once you become comfortable with concept then do some timed test as well on SHP


isha : JUST CLEARING THE CUT OFF ENOUGH FOR IIM ABC CALL?
siddhartharora : cut off varies as per profile and category, also, you need to clear cut off in all three sections individually and overall, as well for ABC. So, aim to get as much marks as possible and do not work for cut off.


aa : HOW TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY ON PERCENTILES SCORED IN AIMCAT?
siddhartharora : There is no need to do same, you can experiment your strategies as well in AIMCATs and see what works best for you


himani : WHAT SHOULD BE THE STRATEGY TO SCORE WELL AND WHAT ONE MUST DO DAILY TO BOOST SCORE
siddhartharora : Practice, solve all problems in SM and give sectional tests


mo : IS ANY LOGICAL GAME OR SUDOKU HELP IN IMPROVING LRDI??
siddhartharora : best is practice questions from SM and then give sectional tests


isha : I HAVE ABOVE 90 IN 10 & 12TH AND 75% IN GRAD, CAN YOU TELL PLS WHATS MY PROFILE LIKE WHAT OUT OF 10 WILL I GET FOR GRAD
anilbh : your profile is good. as of now focus on getting as high percentile as much as possible. for that revise thing s regularly and also sectional test


isha : I AM A FRESHER WITH NO WORK EX, EVEN IF WORK HARD AND GET A PERCENTILE ABOVE 99 CAN I NOT GET A CALL FROM IIMB FOR NOT BEING AN ENGINEER AND WITHOUT WORK EX
siddhartharora : Being non-engineer, your profile based cut off is expected to be lower for IIM B, so do not think about that right now and just prepare to get your best in CAT


ccca4a562 : I HAVE SCORED 34 PERCENTILE ON MY 1 ST AIMCAT AND 24 PERCENTILE IN 2 ND ONE HOW TO PROGRESS FURTHUR THE SCORE IS MAKING ME FEEL LOW HOW TO PROCEED FURTHUR?
siddhartharora : Analyse your AIMCATs and see what has gone well and where you can improve, the percentiles are fine as you have just started preparation, but now you need to improve with practice.


naina : I WANT TO MAKE SCHEDULE OF QUANTS
siddhartharora : responded


cicky : SIR I HAVE NO IDEA OF PREPARING FOR DI AND LR...I HAVE A DOUBT WITH HOW TO PREPARE FOR IT... SUGGEST ME A GOOD STRATEGY TO MITIGATE IT SIR PLLLLLSSSSSS
siddhartharora : Once the topic is done in class, redo the handout at home and solve exercises from book, give as much sectional tests as possible as DI/LR can be done with only practice


naina : I WANT A PERFECT SCHEDULE FOR QUANTS TO COMPLETE WITHIN THE 5 MONTHS
siddhartharora : There is nothing as perfect schedule as everything varies from student to student. Sit with a faculty memeber at your centre and they will help with a personlaised plan.


astron : I HAVE 96%IN 10TH, 97% IN 12TH AND SIMILAR IN GRAD. THOUGH I AM AN AGRICULTURE UNDERGRADUATE(IN LAST YEAR) I HAVE DEEP INTEREST IN FINANCE. HOW SHALL I JUSTIFY MY CHOICE OF NOT OPTING FOR FABM AND GOING FOR GENERAL ONE.
siddhartharora : You can say that I have learnt a bit about agriculture and now want to go for Finance, so that I can learn more in details about the same and try to implement the concepts of both in the industry I work with. This is not of an issue and can be explained easily, also right now focus more on getting good score, as faculties will help you with such questions when time comes for the same.


bhavani : IAM UNABLE TO DO PRACTICE DAILY ON QUANT SIR COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO START AND HOW MANY TO PRACTICE EVERYDAY
siddhartharora : Start with SM1002220 and try to finish one concept minimum from each section every week from SM and also sectional test for the same


cicky : GIVE ME A GOOD SCHEDULE TO CLEAR QUANT AND DILR IN UPCOMING MONTHS
siddhartharora : Sit with a faculty member at your centre and they will help with a personalized plan


lnca4a157 : I AM A FEMALE CANDIDATE FROM B.COM..HOW MUCH PERECENTILE WILL I NEED TO GET A CALL FROM IIM
siddhartharora : All IIMs have different cut offs, starting from 99 percentile plus to around 90 percentile for general category. Do not think about that right now and try to maximise your CAT score.


naina : FACING PROBLEM IN SEQUENCE SERIES AND QUADRATIC
anilbh : please take doubt session for same and with time things will improve


naina : NOBODY IS ANSWERING
anilbh : pls take one to one counselling with faculty member at your centre. ask your centre to organise same


naina : IS IT A GOOD TIME TO START BEING A NON MATHS BACKGROUND
anilbh : time does not create problem as long as you are willing to give decent enough time every day.


naina : SIR I FACING ALOT IN QUANTS GIVE SOME TIPS TO GO SMOOTH
siddhartharora : just relax, do not think too much and start reading concepts and solved problems and redo from start, you will do good


naina : HOW MANY HOURS WE DEVOTE TO QUANTS IF OUR MATHS IS WEAK
siddhartharora : Varies from student to student, but try to finish at least one topic in a week with sectional tests


ash : SIR MY PROFILE IS 87/83/70(ENGG.), I WANT TO PURSUE FINANCE BUT I'M UNSURE HOW IT WOULD PAN OUT. I WANT TO GO TO IIM BLACKI, HOW TOUGH OR EASY WILL THE JOURNEYT BE? ANY EXPECTED PERCENTILE IN CAT?
siddhartharora : Do not think too much about future, try to maximise your CAT score as you will require above 99.5 percentile for calls from BLACKI.
