priyanka : SIR I CLEARED SECTIONAL CUTOFFS PLUS OVERALL PERCENTILE OF IIM SAMBHALPUR BUT I DIDN'T GET MAIL REGARDING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
asim : They are sending in batches, wait till morning, please check spam folder also.

srn : @ASIM YES. BUT ANY STRATEGY, TIPS?
asim : The section on language comprehension comprises 25 questions, most of which have a bend towards Critical Reasoning, at varying levels of difficulty. So, it is best advised to revise concepts pertaining to Critical Reasoning(especially on identifying argument structure and argument elements, and inference based questions) Critical Reasoning questions have been part of the course for the CAT students. They can revise these concepts by working out questions from CRHO 1002101, 2102, 2103, 2104, 2105; these handouts will sharpen the skills of students in areas like analysing and evaluating arguments, Conclusion and Inference, Assumptions and Strengthening and Weakening of arguments. CRPE 1002101 and 2102 will help the students revise the concepts. CRPT 1002101 and 2102 will help the students test themselves in a timed environment. The various elements of Reasoning like Strengthening ( or Weakening ) the Argument , Inferences , Conclusions, Flaws in an argument, Paradox, etc will need to be understood thoroughly to help the student tackle Logical reasoning questions (especially for identifying argument structure and argument elements, and for cracking inference-based questions).For the rest of the English Language part, it would be advisable for students to revise concepts pertaining to RC, Sentence correction, and Vocab based questions. Questions in these areas have been very doable, and effective revision would help students cash in on these questions. The RC passages in CMAT have been short (a paragraph usually)and quite easy to read. Students have time to read carefully and analyze the content, and must do so, since the choices are, sometimes, close. There are approximately 9-10 passages, drawn from varied subjects such as social sciences, business, arts and humanities and current issues. The student should focus on the following with respect to RC: • Central idea and the supporting ideas in the given paragraph • Tone of the author Recognising phrases, idioms, and figures of speech in reading practice. • Summarising/ restating the paragraph/drawing conclusions • Identifying missing data/ interpreting indirect information • Seeing from the author's perspective What is primarily required is an active participation in the reading of the text, which does not stop with just reading and understanding, but goes beyond the peripherals, and asks /answers questions that are related to the text . The student should be wary of underestimating the passage due to its short length or simple language, as the options, as mentioned earlier, are quite close. For the section on Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation, a good preparation for CAT should be more than sufficient, though it would be advisable for a student to focus more on areas like Co-ordinate Geometry, Trigonometry (Basically Heights & Distances), Statistics, Quadratic Equations, Progresions, Permutations & Combinations, Probability and Number System apart from topics mentioned in the basic study material. For the section on logical reasoning one has to prepare on all the reasoning topics like linear arrangement, circular arrangement, selections , distribution puzzles, comparisons, binary logic, cubes, Venn diagrams, deductions, and connectives. The question pattern is slightly different from the CAT pattern. Unlike CAT here one would find individual questions on all the above topics. Sometimes data may not be sufficient to figure out the complete solution, but would be sufficient to answer the given question. The other areas of reasoning including number series, coding and decoding, symbols and notations, blood relations, direction sense, input-output, calendars and clocks should also be prepared. One needs to be thorough with all topics of Analytical puzzles, Deductions/Syllogism, Connectives and cubes. The CAT students have received the reasoning study material - SM 1002505 and 2506 with solutions. This SM has two exercises for each of these topics. SM1002207 provides practice exercises for topics - Number and Letter Series, Verbal Analogies, Coding and Decoding, Blood relations, Input/Output and non-verbal reasoning. There was a thorough discussion on each of these kinds of questions in Logic Basics classes (LRHO 1002201 to 03-Puzzles, 2207-Series, Analogies, Coding & Decoding, Odd Man out, Symbols & Notations and Missing numbers in figures, 2208-Calendars, Blood Relations and Direction Sense, LRHO1002213- Input/output, Decision Making, Non-verbal Reasoning and sequences, LRHO1001909 and 1910 - Deductions, 1911- Connectives and 1912- Cubes), and in LRPEs, LWHOs & LATs. Exercises 14 and 15 in SM1002207 provide practice exercises for CR topics. For the section on "Innovation & Entrepreneurship" students should prepare with the handouts GAHO1032331 to GAHO 1032335. Also, in the various issues of MBA Education & Careers magazine, focus on features like Business GK, Current Issues & Events, and Current Event Chronicle (this feature captures important tid-bits). In addition to the above, please run through the GK Model Papers feature titled, Improve your GK. Go through the GA Note (Study Material) booklet for stock GK (like history and geography). Also use the GAT papers, each with 50 questions. Manorama & CSR Year Book - it helps in preparation for stock type questions In Manorama Year Book and CSR, please focus on the following chapters. • Who is who • What is what • Science scan • Human body • Computers • Landmarks of history • The Universe Finally, OMETs for CMAT are perhaps the best source for preparation. It comes very close to the actual CMAT entrance exam paper and one should give maximum importance to these question papers.
