ARKS Srinivas: Hi Sheela. CAT is a relative grading exam. It does
not matter how tough it is. Last year, for instance, people with 52+ Entrepreneurs: Win Rs 2,00,000
marks got calls from the IIMs. How safe are mutual funds?

ARKS Srinivas: I guess you need to find out what went wrong in the Federer survives Ljubicic scare
last few weeks. Either you have not been studying enough or the 'I played like a champion'
papers are getting difficult. Another reason could be that the tension

is slowly building up in you. Relax and concentrate on the exam
instead of the result.
pks: Hello Sir I would like to know what should be the strategy for
those who are weak in maths and data interpretation. What is the
minimum one should attempt to qualify in these two areas. Which
To get that, you need to divide Quant into the following areas:
Numbers and Geometry (which should get the most questions), QE
and Progressions, Inequalities, Functions and Graphs (which is
second in line as far as the number of questions expected is
concerned) and then Arithmetic ie ERPV, Percentages, Averages,
Time and Work and Time and Distance.
You can take these eight to nine topics and spend three days on each
of them till the CAT.
hari: Sir, i am studying in XII clas... i would like to know if i could take
the CAT next year to know where i stand....or is there anyother way to
asses my relative performance.
ARKS Srinivas: No Hari, you can take it only in your final year of
graduation.
rk: Sir should i give mock cats of various coaching classes every day
from now ....or should i revise because i feel test practise is ideal
practise.
Try to improve your performance from mock to mock. Take two mock
tests in a week -- a total of about eight to 10 from now to CAT. That
should be more than enough.
ARKS Srinivas: You can appear for CAT also. But GMAT would do
for some of the IIMs.
rk: Sir i have people telling me that u shud cross 50 in all mock cats
which i fAil to cross but am working at it ...do u feel i can still make
it ....my accuracy is 80 percent ...n attempt abt 55 to 60 questions.
ARKS Srinivas: At the end of the day, you have to perform on D-day.
Quietly study and do not bother about rumours. If you can do your
best on D-day, you will make it.
dev: Hi Arks .... how to enhance my speed in DI ..i cant attempt mor
than 25 in a 3 sec paper.
jairam: I am 36. Is there any age limit for taking CAT exam?
ARKS Srinivas: Spend about two to three hours each on these areas
for the next 20 days. Every other day, take a slip test on one of these
areas.
vpower: Sir,my strategy is that i scan the paper across all sections
and mark easy,moderate and difficult. I solve the easy (45 mins)
moderate (40 minutes) and difficult (35 mins) (across all sections). Is
ARKS Srinivas: Hi, I think it is better not to waste too much time in
marking the difficulty levels; it is an unproductive job. Divide the paper
into sections and then divide the time accordingly.
raghav: Sir ,this is raghav. Can please confirm whether quant can be
conquered in these 30 days.
ST: Sir, i would like to know the marks, i would require to atleast get a
call from the IIMs(am a ST canditate).
kanasu: Till Now I am able to score aroun 30+ in Mock test having 55
+ as cut off. Do you think I have chance to get in IIMs.
ARKS Srinivas: Kanasu, you need to think that you can get it.
Theoretically, if you add one mark per day from now on wards. You
can cross 60. You need to study in a very focused manner. You can
still make it.
DON'T MISS!
