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
