hanu : GOOD EVENING TO ALL
supratim : Good evening!

sv : HI SIR/MADAM, COULD YOU PLEASE SUGGEST -PREPARATION STRATEGY AND RESOURCES - FOR TISSNET EXAM.
supratim : 1. Write one mock paper of TISSNET first. 2. Work on each areas you are weak after looking at your mock score. 3. Write mock TISSMAT to. 4. Work on each areas you are weak 5. Start reading newspapers(s) everyday. The analysis of TISS previous years papers are there on time4education.com - CAT/MBA page.

anushika : WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE DO BESIDES CAT SYLLABUS FOR IBSAT?
asim : You must work on topics like series, analogies, coding and decoding etc which are provided in SM 07 Booklet (if you are a T.I.M.E. full course student)

sachin : HI MAM/SIR I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER THE SELF ADMINISTERED AIMCATS ARE AS GOOD AS SCHEDULED AIMCAT AS THEY ARE QUITE EASY COMPARE TO THE LATTER ONES PLEASE GUIDE WHICH ONE IS MORE CLOSE TO CAT LEVEL
renufrancis : Different SAMCATS have different difficulty level. Some of them might be very easy and some difficult.

sachin : HI MAM/SIR I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER THE SELF ADMINISTERED AIMCATS ARE AS GOOD AS SCHEDULED AIMCAT AS THEY ARE QUITE EASY COMPARE TO THE LATTER ONES PLEASE GUIDE WHICH ONE IS MORE CLOSE TO CAT LEVEL
thomas : not all self administered ones are easy but they are easier than aimcats. on an average. we want you to try both the papers as we want you to be ready for any type of paper

pradeep : HOW MUCH CAT PERCENTYLE FOR FMS DELHI ?
renufrancis : 99+ for general category students

ree : GOOD EVENING. I WANT TO DO MBA IN MARKETING AND AM CONFUSED ON AIMING FOR ONE COLLEGE BETWEEN THE TWO, SIBM PUNE AND NMIMS. ANY TIPS?

mayank : SIR GOT 186 IN NMAT WHICH COLLEGE SHOULD I APPLY OR SHOULD GIVE SECOND ATTEMPT?
asim : IFMR,UPES,VIT,ITM NAVI MUMBAI, IBS are some options

goku : MAM CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE INFO ON HOW CAN I PARELLELY PRERPARE FOR NMAT AND XAT SPECIFICALLY ALONG WITH CAT GIVEN THE DAYS LEFT
asim : Except for the section on Logical Reasoning, all the other sections of NMAT get well covered with a good preparation for CAT. However, it is advisable for a student to work on his/her speed mathematics as some of the questions under Data Interpretation tend to be calculation intensive. Also, 108 questions in 120 minutes means that the candidate needs to be quick in solving the questions. The questions in reasoning section of NMAT are: Series, Analogies, Odd man out, Coding & Decoding, Symbols & Notations, missing numbers in the figures and Direction sense. Analytical puzzles (Blood Relations, Linear arrangement, Circular arrangement, Distribution,Comparisons and Selections). Critical reasoning (Assumptions, Conclusions, Inferences, Strong & Weak arguments, Courses of action, Cause & Effect, Assertions and Reasons), Deductions, Input / Output, Decision Making and Venn Diagrams You can study these topics from Reasoning Study Material - SM 1002005 and SM 1002007. SM 1002007 covers the topics - Series, Analogies, Odd man out, Coding & Decoding, Symbols & Notations, missing numbers in the figures, Input/Output, Blood Relations and Direction sense. These topics were introduced to the CAT students in Logic Basics - 7, 8 and 10 (LRHO 1002007, 08 and 10). One can quickly be thorough with these topics by solving the exercises from SM 1002007. Particularly the questions based on Coding & Decoding and Symbols & Notations test the speed of the students. SM 1002005 has two exercises for each of the topics in analytical puzzles. There was a thorough discussion of each of these kinds of puzzles in Logic Basics - 1, 2 and 3 (LRHO 1002001, 02 and 03) and in LRPEs and LATs. Venn Diagrams are discussed in Logic Basics 5 and 6 (LRHO 1002005 and 2006). SM 1002005 has four exercises (Ex 8 (a), (b), (c) and (d)) on Logical Deductions. Students may solve the exercises 8 (a) and (b) first and then from 8 (c) and (d). Among the critical reasoning topics, Assumptions, Conclusions, Inferences and Strong & Weak arguments were discussed in classes for CAT students. SM1002302 provides necessary practice exercises for these topics. The NMAT model deductions were discussed in logic basics 10 (LRHO 1002010) class. The practice exercises for NMAT model Deductions questions are provided in SM 1002005. Input / Output & Decision Making questions are provided in SM 1002007. Finally, T.I.M.E. 's OMETs for NMAT are perhaps the best source for preparation. They are very close to the actual NMAT entrance exam paper and one should give maximum importance to these question papers as they provide very good exam practice to the candidates. The candidates can accustom themselves to the NMAT pattern by taking these mocks.

sv : HI SIR/MADAM, WHICH ONE PREPARES YOU BETTER- SAMCAT OR AIMCATS? I HAVENT GIVEN SAMCATS TILL NOW. SHOULD I START GIVING THEM NOW OR SHOULD I FOCUS ON DOING THE MISSED AIMCATS FIRST?
thomas : the samcats are very similar to previous years cat papers. make sure you do at least half of them to get an idea of how the previous year cat papers were

rj : WHAT IS THE IDEAL NUMBER OF COLLEGES YOU SHOULD APPLY BEFORE CAT EXAM
bharat : set a budget, apply to 8-10 colleges based on your AIMCAT score ranges.

rj : CAN I APPLY FOR COLLEGES AFTER MY CAT RESULTS ARE DECLARED AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE ADMISSION PROCEDURE AFTER CAT ?
thomas : most of the top colleges close before CAT. the middle level colleges and the IITs would be available for applying after CAT

rj : I AM CURRENTLY FOCUSING ON CAT ONLY AND WILL START WITH PREPARING FOR OMETS ON 27TH OF NOV ASSUMING THAT GOOD AMOUNT OF THE PORTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED DURING MY CAT PREPARATION IS IT OK ? AM I WRONG
supratim : You may write one mock each for SNAP , NMAT , XAT , IIFT in next 10 days provided you are writing those exams. This will give a break , new insights.

renufrancis : For the section on General English, students should focus on Idioms & Idiomatic expressions, and on parts of speech in Grammar. Apart from this, a good CAT preparation would suffice.
