Guidelines: Crack Verbal Ability section in CAT Exam

CL's Reference Books are legendary for cracking the CAT. The reason is quite simple. Our faculties, who take the CAT exam year after year and tailor it to any changes in pattern and difficulty level, update it annually.

English Grammar is something most of us approach with dread. It reminds us of school days when a teacher droned on about parts of speech and correct usage while we wondered what practical use is learning all this. Well, you might not realize it but grammar is the one absolutely essential thing if a language is used to communicate ideas. Imagine if we could all write or say words in whatever order we liked. I don’t like saying. “What is your name?” why can’t it be “your name what is?”




 No doubt it would do away with a lot of rules, but how would one person understand another? Grammar provides a structure to language and if we are to communicate effectively it is essential that we understand how this structure works. Studying grammar for management Entrance Exam like CAT also focus primarily on correct usage. So keeping that in mind our syllabus is designed to familiarize you with the basic rules you need to know and understand to crack these exams. The additional benefits  - you speak and write correctly which would always help you in your career or life.

We hope you get to experience a new understanding and appreciation of English grammar!

All the best!

How To Prepare For MBA Entrance Test - CAT 2013

MBA Entrance Tests typically create a situation which a manager in the corporate world encounters on a day-to-day basis. He is expected to read a lot and collect lots of information. Also, a manager is expected to take the right decision within the constraints of time and incomplete or excessive information.

For CAT, CMAT and NMAT you definitely need to be acquainted with computers. You need to be able to solve problems while reading them on a computer screen.

All MBA entrance tests check your knowledge of Quantitative Ability, Reasoning Skills & Verbal Ability. Most of the concepts which are tested are of class X level. Of late, most tests other than CAT have started including a GK section as well. 

The Three step process:

Be a fundamentalist!

Work on your fundamentals. Building a strong foundation is critical to your success. This requires you to go through the books and exercises and revise your basics. During this stage of your preparation, you have access to classroom sessions, class exercises and unlimited doubt sessions with CL mentors. We invite you to make the most of it.

Application

The ability to apply fundamentals is the next step in your preparation. It is about understanding the concepts and applying them to the questions asked in the exam.

You are likely to revisit fundamentals over and over again in this phase. This phase is also likely to see you spend time with your CL mentor who will handhold you as you apply concepts and will leave you with more than a few ways of solving the same problem or applying the concepts.

Testing

Once you have the fundamentals in place and have applied them to solve a variety of questions, it's time to take the mock tests (full length tests). CL mock tests are created on the lines of the actual tests. The whole idea is to simulate the environment of the actual exam. 

CL mock tests (for Computer Based Tests) are of two types- Proctored and Unproctored.

Proctored Mocks: These are a set of tests you take in the computer lab of your CL center. This enables us to simulate the actual test environment. Also, because the tests happen at the test center, you undergo the same process as you would on the day of the actual exam.

Unproctored Mocks: These are a set of tests you take at your home on your computer at your convenience. Simulating actual test taking environment is important as you go about solving these unproctored mocks as well. 

A bouquet of over 40 proctored and unproctored full length tests comprise your testing module.

To derive maximum benefit for your MBA Entrance test, you must follow the three tier rule of Practice-Analysis-Revision. 

Each test is to be followed by an equal amount, if not more, of time spent analyzing it. While you do this, you must identify whether you should have attempted a particular question or not. You must also try to identify if there is a better way of solving the question or any other important question which outlines a new concept. You must revise all such questions later.

After taking the Test- take it again!

•           Identify the questions that you solved correctly and those you did not.

•           Identify important questions that helped you  relook at a concept or a new way of  applying it.

Only when you follow these steps will you be able to extract the maximum value out of a test. If you want to get more information for MBA Entrance Test, visit www.careerlauncher.com
