I just recently came across some great tricks and would love to share it with everyone.
So here they go:
VA general strategies:
1.Read an RC as if you are the author. Blank ur mind when u start the RCs. Ur individual opinion while reading/doing an RC is useless. So is you prior knowledge. The questions are asked from the viewpoint of the author, and you’ve got to answer them in that sense. Remember, for RCs, You DO NOT have any knowledge/opinion.
2.Read newspapers and enjoy them. Don’t read stupid weird articles just because you want to improve your VA. Read funny, sexy articles that you like and enjoy. It’s a much better way of improving your English than reading up on the etymology of words from thick red books.
3.Word-lists are stupid and a waste of time. They are not important for cat. Burn your word-lists.
DI general strategies:
1.Do NOT spend more time on a set just because you’ve already spent some time on it. Wasted time does not merit more time to be wasted. If after 20 minutes of reading a set, you do not understand it, the LEAVE it!
2.Practice! Practice only from mock-cats. The BRM's are generally for ppl who are going to give cat in 2010, and I expect none of you are like that.
QA general strategies:
1.Make sure you read ALL the questions! Even if they are from pathetic topics like PnC or Probability. This way, you’ll never feel like a fool later for not having read a question completely.
General strategies:
1.Give equal importance to the three sections in terms of time. This simple rule, whenever violated, has caused havoc. Do not allot less than 40 minutes for any section, whatever be the compulsion.
2.Your primary aim in all these mocks is to clear ALL the cut-off's in every paper. If you can clear ALL three cut-off's in cat, there’s a 99.99% chance of you clearing the total cut-off as well, and making it to the next stage.
3.Do not bother whether the paper is tough or not. Your job is to make sure that by the end of the paper you have read all the questions and feel happy that you’ve given it your best shot.
4.Remember, the Real competition is with yourself and your past scores. The zillion other people writing the mock are not your problem. It’s their problem that you are writing the mock as well.
