thomas : Try to put in 2 hrs per day on days you are working and around 6 hrs on holidays. You can take up a test and do its analysis on holidays in that 6 hrs time.


hii : HOW TO BALANCE WITH ENDSEMS APPROACHING AND CAT PREP
govindrajan : Priority should be given to sem end exams. Depending on your preparation level of sem end exams, spare available time for CAT preparation. While preparing for CAT focus on learning the topics in which you are not very strong.


ezio : SIMILAR QUERY TO SHARO, HOW SHOULD I SPLIT MY TIME BETWEEN THE 3?
thomas : It all depends on how comfortable you are eith each subject and will differ from person to person. In case you are not very good at math, that should be the priority now as that is the section with the highest scope for improvement in your score


cat25 : I HAVE TROUBLE WITH QUANTS,I AM FORGETTING WHAT I LEARNT EASILY ANY TIPS FOR THAT?
mandar : only practice will help you to overcome this


m : I HAVE A VERY BASIC QUESTION. IN THE 3 EQUATION FORMAT OF SIMPLE EQUATIONS
mandar : ask in doubt session


ridhi : IF WE ARE SHORT ON TIME, CAN WE LEAVE OUT ANY QUANT, DILR TOPICS BUT STILL GET GOOD MARKS?
gagan : Pl. try to complete the three booklets of Quant available. Practice and revise. Q's can be asked from the topics given in the booklet.


diya : HOW MUCH SHOULD I PRACTICE
mandar : there is no definite answer to this. Practice to the best of your satisfaction.


diya : HOW MUCH SHOULD I PRACTICE
thomas : It all depends from person to person and the speed with which you are able to grasp things. There's no limit to practice. You can find small scope of improvement even after hundreds of hours. So work as much as you can


mucbb5a210 : IN QUANTS PRACTICED FROM BOOKLET AS WELL AS HANDOUTS STILL UNABLE TO GET CONFIDENCE
gagan : Attempts Sectional tests. In case of doubts discussed the same with the faculty at the center...


m : IF THE NUMBERATOR AND DENOMINATOR OF A CERTAIN FRACTION ARE INCREASED BY 2, THEN FRACTION BECOMES 3/5. IF THE NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR ARE INCREASED BY 1, THEN THE FRACTION BECOMES 1/2. FIND THE FRACTION.
gagan : Pl. ask in doubt session with faculty at the center...


bhcbb5a383 : HELLO SIR, AM JUST FRESHER TO THIS I AM JUST STARTED WITH 0, SO AM VERY FEAR ABOUT ALL THE SUBJECTS
thomas : Do not worry. More than half the students start at the same level and still manage to score well by the end after working hard


mucab5a404 : LET SAY IF AM A BEGINNER AND I WANT TO START WITH QA DI LR HOW SHOULD I START IT HOW MANY HOURS SHOULD I GIVE EVERYDAY WHAT ARE THE DO LIST OR A SCHEDULE WHICH SHOULD FOLLOW
gagan : Try to complete the booklets as per the batch flow. Try to devote equal time (approx.) to all the three areas on a daily basis. Attempt sectional tests and take a Full length mock per week...


sharon : WHAT IS THE PATTERN YOU WOULD SUGGEST TO DO BEFORE TAKING UP A TOPIC ? FIRST TO DO HANDOUTS IN CLASS, THEN THE HOMEWORK QUESTIONS FROM THE HANDOUT AND THEN THE STUDY MATERIAL? AND FROM WHAT POINT ONWARDS SHOULD WE START TAKING MOCK CAT EXAMS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS ? ONLY AFTER FINISHING THE FULL TOPICS?
ashwinvariyar : Handout then Study Material then Sectional Test of the relevant topic. You can attempt AIMCATs as per the AIMCAT schedule. Each mock will give you an idea on what you are good at / becoming better at AND what you need to work on. It is a continuous process


rashi : TILL NOW I DIDN’T PREPARED OR START CAT PREPARATION EASE GIVE ME SHEDULE HOW CAN I COVER MY SYLLABUS TILL SEPTEMBER
govindrajan : Assuming that you are on full time CAT preparation, ensure that you spare about 2 to 3 hours on each test area. Start with classroom notes, and basic study material. Focus on day to day progress but do not worry the remaining syllabus to be completed. Make sure to be consistent in preparation and keep recording daily improvement.


m : ALSO SIR, IS THERE A LIVE VIDEO SESSION? WHERE WE CAN ASK AND SOLVE ONLINE?
thomas : In case your program has that option, you can attend the doubt session every week where you can get your doubts cleared one to one online. Check your student home page and see whether you are eligible.


diya : HOW MUCH MAXIMUM QUESTIONS WITH ACCURACY WE NEED TO DO IN ALL PARTS TO GET 75 PERCENTILE IN ALL THREE PARTS.
thomas : 75 percentile is too low a score to aim for now. Scoring 75 percentile is very easy and in sections like qa and lrdi you will not even need 10 marks . So 3 correct questions would be enough there and around 5 questions in varc


ridhi : CAN WE LEAVE OUT HEAVY TOPICS LIKE GEOMETRY AND FOCUS ON OTHER TOPICS TO GET GOOD MARKS? OR IS IT RISKY TO LEAVE IT?
gagan : Pl. try to cover all the topics from the booklet. In case of doubts discuss the same with the faculty...

jaya : GOOD EVENING SIR, SIR I AM UNDERSTANDING THE TOPIC AND GOOD AT SUBJECT, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEM SOLVING I AM NOT FEELING COMFORTABLE TO APPLY MY KNOWLEDGE TO GET ANSWER
gagan : Pl. try to attempt sectional tests once you complete a topic. Also attempt Full length test and do a thorough analysis of the same...


mic : MY ABILITY TO ANSWER QA QUESTIONS ARE BEGINNER LEVEL. WILL THE CONCEPT REVIEW IN THE HANDOUT HELP ME GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING?
thomas : Definitely. Practice the questions from the basic SM book and you should be able to solve at least half of the questions


diya : I AM NOT ABLE TO PROCESS WORDS VOCAB HOW SHOULD I PRACTICE THAT .ALL THE SIMILAR WORDS SEEMS TO BE SAME

linnn : FOR LRDI SHOULD I COMPLETE THE EXERCISES TOPIC WISE OR CAN I SWITCH BETWEEN THE TOPICS AND WORK OUT THE EXERCISES IN THE BOOK
gagan : PL. complete the class handouts as per the batch flow. Also complete the topics given in the booklet. If you can solve them, then go ahead. Also complete the sectional tetst on the same...


siri : HELLO SIR, HOW MANY CORRECT ANSWERS WE MUST CHOOSE IN EACH SECTION TO GET 99 PERCENTILE
thomas : It all depends on the difficulty level of the paper. Last year it was around 38, 35 and 35 marks in varc, ledi and qa respectively. Approximately as the slots differ slightly in terms of difficulty level


bhcbb5a383 : HERE AFTER HOW TO START THE PREPARATION SIR, GIVE ME A SUGGESTION TO CRACK CAT SIR
govindrajan : Assuming that you are on full time CAT preparation, ensure that you spare about 2 to 3 hours on each test area. Start with classroom notes, and basic study material.

mucab5a484 : EVEN AFTER PRACTICING THE QUESTIONS I AM NOT ABLE TO SCORE IN SECTIONALS I GET BLANK ONCE THE QUESTION COMES IN FRONT OF ME
ashwinvariyar : Analyze the sectional test. Look at the Solution. If you feel there is some gap in conceptual clarity. Practice some more Qs from SM


linnn : IN QUANT WILL SOLVING ONLY THE EXERCISE(A) QUESTIONS BE SUFFICIENT?
thomas : Will be enough if you are looking at something around 95 percentile. If aiming for 99+, you will need to do the other exercise also


akshitpal : I HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED ALL THE ARITHMETIC QUESTIONS FROM LOD 1 OF ARUN SHARMA QUANTS BOOK. MY QUANTS CONCEPTS ARE GOOD AND I GET MY ANSWERS REALLY QUICKLY WHILE PRACTICING QUESTIONS. YET I HAVE BEEN SCORING REALLY BAD AT AIMCATS. WHY IS IT SO? AND HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY SCORE AND ACCURACY THERE AS WELL?
ashwinvariyar : Solve Qs from SM and also attempt Sectional Tests. Time pressure might be one of the factors


kashvi : WHAT SHOULD BE THE MAIN FOCUS WHILE ANALYSING THE AIMCATS WE ATTEMPTED ?
mandar : Very important question!! You should focus on following things. 1) Check about selection of question. Your selection should be from the questions which fall under the category Easy, Moderate or Difficult. 2) Accuracy percentage. 3) is there any pattern, when you loose marks 4) Are you justifying your strength. These are general guidelines, But i strongly recommend, you should meet faculty member at your centre, to get further detailed approach.

kashvi : IN DI LR SECTION HOW MUCH WE SHOULD GIVE TO SELECTING THE SET THAT IS EASY? AS FROM PAST AIMCATS I HAVE BEEN CHOOSING WRONG SETS WHICH WASTE MY TIME

kashvi : SHOULD WE START WITH FOUNDATION SECTIONAL TESTS OR INTERMEDIATE
govindrajan : Foundational tezts are topicwise while intermediate level tests are combination of topics at a higher difficulty level. After solving foundation tests of a few topics, you may take relevant intermediate test.


ch28 : MY CLASSES STARTED IN THE MARCH. I ALREADY GAVE 1 AIMCAT. SHOULD I FOLLOW THE AIMCAT SCHEDULE AND GIVE THE EXAMS OR SKIP IT FOR NOW?

pritesh : MODULES GIVEN BY TIME ARE SUFFICIENT AND THEN WE CAN CONTINUE WITH PREVIOUS YEAR PAPERS.
gagan : Material provided by TIME is more than sufficient. try to cover them and revise. Module given are in the form of books/Handout or Online(sectional test/Full length tests). Keep practicing...

bhcbb5a383 : IN DI ITS COMPLETELY CONFUSING SIR HOW SHOULD I PREPARE
govindrajan : 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.
