Thanx sir i think one more thing every cat aspirent must do in addition to watching films "READ THIS ARTICLE " |
![]() | Bheri Bheri True |
I alwys have belived that regarding CAT there can only be two perceptions.One of people who have actually taken CAt and cleared or nearly cleared it and second of the others.And this article comes as no surprise,what i was expecting from Tg. Kudos.Very practical and very true. Cat is made tougher by us,the students and the Coachingwallahs.Though i sincerely admire the efforts the top national coaching guys put up....there is still something not very comfortable in this Mock test business. Remember,CAT never expects you to be coached or Have taken 10-15 mock tests. They want people who can be managers genuinely not forcefully. So i have alwyas followed what TG mentions in his article."Don take ur mock results too serioulsy.But do analysis them seriously and if possible dont look at ur peer's scores or atleast don give a damn to it".......and one more thing i have seen guys clearing all cut offs in CAT..when they were always in the range of 85-90 %ile in mocks. TG is very true in each of his words. I am following them and will surely CRACK CAT. In the end ,may god let everyone clear the cutoffs,just that it should start with me ![]() Thanks Amit |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
Hey TG...really the article is very revealing as well as motivating....it can bring a 360 attitude change for many test takers who r on a low rite now....also, i believe your methodology towards cat is altogether different from what many coaching institutes preach ...they need to be cautious of TG in upcoming yrs...![]() I m missing a lot of sitters in mocks in QA which I m able crack very easily out of exam environment....so i will make sure i c thr the paper till the very end as u have mentioned... I just wish all your predictions come out to be true on the C-Day... Thanks for the help dude....!! --Zombi |

Fantastic TG! Must say that my aimcat percentiles have been fluctuating wildly (85-98.7%) along with my confidence. So Now I have happily decided No More Mockery! ![]() I think I owe myself some "chutkara" from these tortuous mocks.... since my strategy is set... I guess I should give my confidence a boost, study hard, relax and give CAT with ice cold precision. |

If the idea behind watching movies is inspiration ,watch this RUDY (1993), the lead is played by Sean Astin(the guy who played Sam in the LOTR trilogy),he's too small to play football(american) and everybody tells him so,but he wants to play football and so he does.Its a brilliant work. |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
I would seriously recommend watching "The Secret". Its about how your thoughts become things. You wish for something and the universe will realign itself to give it to you. Always helped me regain whenever I felt low about my CAT prep. ![]() |

HI TG & Dagny, we owe a lot to you. you have been and will be my inspiration thro' out my life... hope I could meet you someday.... TG rocksssssssssssss thanks for everything..... Bhavani |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
Hi TG You have just striked the right chord !! I want to share my experiences now. May be it would help other guys . I used to score 75-98 % in mocks last year with a good score in QA and decent scores in DI. Used to follow the coaching's advice that "DO TAKE UR MOCK VERY SERIOUSLY AND TREAT IT LIKE REAL CAT" . Used to watch every serial and every news about the staggering no. of people taking CAT . I was surely on a disastorous path and finally it happened. On the C-day 2006 , I started with VA and broke down, or in other words , got completely choked in the first half itself! The reason , i found out later was that after giving 1 hour and 10 mins to VA , I formed a perception that the whole paper is going to be tough and i CAN NOT perform. Now since , i had made my mind, there was no way i could perform , so i made silly mistakes in QA and could not solve DI even. After seeing the paper outside the examination hall, i could solve the QA questions without a pen. It was a shattering performance. Have joined the test series again this year but now for me , all it does is just to help gain my stamina , THAT'S IT ! I don't even give it a damn after comin out . In recent times, I have solved previous years CAT papers (happy to see that a genious is advicing the same) , marked tricky questions and just revised my concepts . And i know , i will do good this time. Thanks TG for taking my grieviences out and boosting our confidence!! You are a genious !! |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
This article was really a confidence booster..i always repent of not reading this kind of article 2-3 months before, when my confidence was shattered by these mock CAT and percentile scores. Anyway it's never too late. let me start it again. |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
thanks for this really good article.My preparations r not completed but i started giving tests but now i will give attention to my weak points.
u have done really great thing for giving tips for coming D-day
from suchi sua |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
Hi TG, Thanks a ton for the wondeful suggestions. Even just an hour back, I was feeling so depressed worrying about the areas I am weak at and the lack of time.. And suddenly, after reading this, I am all buckled up and rearing to go for the test! Cheers, Onahigh |
![]() | Re: Mocks, Shocks and CAT 2007 |
Hi TG (Awesome name) This is my very first post on the website. To start with, let me please introduce myself first. I have done my engineering in Computer Science from one of the best (if not the best) private engineering colleges of West Bengal. Thereafter I joined one of the top 5 brands in Software Industry. Now, after around 1 and a half year of work-ex and facing the real facts of the crude world, I see what importance to the organization a manager has. I have taken CAT twice (05 and 06). In 05' I gave a good effort, but as rightly pointed out by you, I made the whole thing a lot tougher for self. It was a complete mess for I scored only 23 %ile. Reason --- sheer nerves. I did not take it lightly. In 06' I just wanted to 'appear' for CAT, because a 6-month of work-ex was too less and would have done no good to me either. I visited a friends' place before the D-day and just went through all the quant formulas that I thought I would be able to recall during exam. Next day I took the test in the most light-hearted manner one could think of. I was fearless coz the results were not important to me. And see what happened, I scored 93 %ile. Even though it was too less, I was very near to crack somewhere around 98%ile had I not done those silly mistakes in "reading" the questions properly. This year, I have taken roundabout 25 mock tests already, and trust me when I say, I just gave it to practice giving FLTs. What percentiles I was getting didn't bother me at all. In fact I saw my percentiles for a few mocks, only to mark a note of same. I have taken a two-week off from work for CAT. People think I have taken these leaves to study. But they don't know that I watch a movie every alternate day. I solve a few Quant/DI related problems, and try to do a lot of verbal section part (the section I am weakest at). Quant has never been a tension coz I enjoy solving them, its more like fun to me. DI's been dicy and a lot depends on my mood. Either I'll do a fantabulous (exaggerated form of fabulous) job or a blunder. To correct that I will stick to the suggestions given in this article of yours. Also, I am solving the 1000 Sentence Corrections available on totalgadha. Coming back to this website, I came to know about it only a few days back (my bad luck). Had I the knowledge of this website, things would have been different today. But as they say, better late than never. I think positive and try-n-do things in a positive way. I want to thank you, not for this or similar articles, but for the intentions behind same. Regards Amit Mohanka |
