SIMCAT 6..finally a breather!

Lotss of stories for the day: starting from September, I will be working in normal working hours till the time I go on writing CAT. A day shift means less of work more of fun and yeah more of studies too, and yeah more time management as I need to change my mock timings by 180 degrees. All what i care right now is better output.

Wrote SIMCAT 6 today...good to see myself getting back to the scores I used to see before the pattern change. N yeah, balanced sectionals...yet again!

Here goes the mock story:

QA+DI: 19A 16C 3W 45
VA+LR: 28A 18C 3W 44
OA: 47 A 34C 13W 89

I targetted to attempt the whole of 2nd section, accuracy suffered on that ground :( , should have easily got 22-24 correct in the section on a good day. VA was tough , but rest of the paper was manageable.

So increasing the fairly confident attempts seems to be working. Mock was on the easier side. Still glad to see the 90s back!!

Hope to see 98-99 %tile in this one...!


PS:Will update the scorecard soon.
Next up is Aimcat 1209!

AIMCAT 1210...feel gud mock!!

So wrote 1210 today. It was a feel good mock. I managed a decent accuracy aft a long time in VA but yes lowest overall attempts till yet...

Here goes the story:

QA+DI- 11A 8C 3W -21
VA+LR- 19A 14C 5W- 37
QA- 30A 22C 8W- 58

QA+DI: Felt rusty in QA. Section wasn't a cakewalk rather much more than that. Book-marked almost half of the section. Some questions gave me a feel that they can be cracked, but I thought better to come back to them later, and my later never came. Section-1 was absurd, still we never know what is absurd when it comes to C-Day. Will try to take 3 rounds from the next mock and will pick the easy ones in 1st go which I expect to be around 7-10 in every mock. And then move to the ones which need a little more effort to crack in my next rounds.

VA+LR : I attempted the section selectively I was getting boggled down by my accuracy in the section in last few mocks, but I think I lacked on number of attempts easily 23+ attempts could have been made. I need to target on LR sets. At times they are easy to crack and fetch lots of marks( I am sure, I missed an easier one today). So now target is set for this section too. 30 good minutes for VA then identify easy LR sets and slaughter them. Come back to VA and maximize.

target 4 simcat 6: I need to increase my fairly confident attempts!!

Prock Mock 7..!!

A disaster according to my standards..yet I am happy again to break the spell of 20s and 30s..!!

QA+DI--16A 11C 5W...well thanks 2 the 2 wrong answers I marked directly will never do it again...still 28 not bad keeping in mind that paper wasnt easy but there were sitters.

VA+LR--20A 12C 8 W
Section was comparitively easy and I wasted 30 odd mins on 2 LR sets jotting down a set completely wrong.

OA--56 could have been 70+ easily well that feeling is back lets wait for the scores!!

Still trying to find a way to get hold of this new pattern. Yet one thing I realize is practice, practice and practice more!!


So the results are round the corner...not so satisfying still okeyish Could have done much much better...marked few qs wrong in VA+LR...did 2-3 blunders in QA+DI anyways here goes the story:



So 1 mantra from now...Practice practice and practice more!

Go!Go!!Go!!!=)

Next up: Aimcat 1210!!

Here We Go Again!



So, finally I have decided to pen down my tryst with CAT. I have been telling myself to start writing about prepration from long but today finally I am starting up to keep a track down of my prepration. I admit that till now I have been a total faliure when it comes to mocks this season. I know what matters is how well I fair out on D-day. So here goes the story till now:

Mocks taken >12

Over 97%tile >3

Over99%tile >1

Some of the best ones so far:













Will try to post regularly here... at least after each mock I write!

IIMs we have got some unfinished business =)
