With just two weeks left for the big entrance exam, the CAT 2011 to begin, MBAUniverse.com has launched the ‘Cracking CAT 2011 Special Video Series’ in association with Tata McGraw-Hill and MindWorkzz for MBA aspirants who are seeking to crack CAT 2011 and working towards making it to their dream B schools.
In this special video series, CAT guru, Author and IIM Bangalore alumnus Arun Sharma shares with you the mantras for preparing for the very crucial 20 days to CAT 2011 for each of the sectional areas – QA, VA, DI, LR -- as well as special tips on test taking strategy.
To introduce you to these special videos we are presenting to you key excerpts from the videos. We presented to you earlier key excerpts from the video titled '30 Days prep for QA and DI'. Today we present to you key excerpts from Arun Sharma’s video talk on VA & LR prep.
The following are the top mantras from Arun Sharma for 20 day prep for Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning areas of CAT 2011:
-- Do not focus at this stage on improving your English: “These last days are not for improving your quality of English. It takes six months to one year to make a good quality improvement in your English. But still there are many other things which you can work upon.”
-- VA is an area where there is nothing to solve. “You have to focus on thinking inside your mind to answer the questions.”
-- Find out the sources of error: “In an aptitude test like CAT, there are two parts to what you score – Ability & Performance. Also there are two categories of students with respect to Verbal Ability – One who are comfortable with English language & the other not so comfortable. My advice to both the category of students is focus on identifying the sources of error in your thinking with respect to answering VA questions.”
-- Focus on what can be improved: “After every mock test focus on trying to find out How I can improve. Take good quality mock tests and know the traps and then only you can avoid them during the actual test day.”
-- Logical Reasoning: “For logical reasoning my only advice is you should know how to use the information/data in the right order.”
