Why LR section in CAT 2013 ?

Logical thinking is the process in which one uses reasoning consistently to come to a conclusion. Problems or situations that involve logical thinking call for structure, for relationships between facts, and for chains of reasoning.

Logical reasoning is very important in practical life for a making a conclusion or even a decision and hence it is a very important part for any MBA aspirant to prove his mettle at.

In CAT Logical Reasoning Questions appear in the form of a paragraph given followed up with some specific questions that can be derived from that paragraph by logically thinking. Recently CAT  papers had no separate section on LR and it is combined with the Verbal Ability section.

Most of the students think they are good at Vocabulary and RCs but when it comes to LR they seem to get low on confidence. But it should not be the case.

Try making yourself good at LRs as they along with DIs help in making easy scoring. Out of the regular 3 LRs that come in any CAT paper (it depends), one should try doing 2 of the easy ones as that will help in making up the sectional cut-off.

A variety of questions come on if-then approach. So you need to get yourself clear with the given paragraph first before moving on to the questions. When practicing logic with reasoning making a chart or drawing a picture are good strategies.

Preparation for CAT is an annual process which must be supplemented with clear understanding of fundamentals. Speed & time are also crucial factors which will have to be practiced. 

The more basics are clear on concept of DI & QA it will not be that difficult to grasp the section. Likewise vocabulary and grammar has to be at best to clear VA & LR section.  These efforts must be backed up with practice of Mock Tests.

With CAT you can’t take chance

CAT 2013 is hardly 3 months near and focused aspirants like you are on preparation. Exam will be conducted in coming October.

In absence of any specified syllabus CAT is always a puzzle to crack. Only trends of yesteryears exams can get you some idea but since for the last 3 years CAT has become computer based exam, it is difficult to recall questions. 

Wrong answers also deduct allotted numbers and make CAT much more difficult. 

 

Nature of exam is to test your analytical skills in a stipulated time frame. Guessing answers is suicidal in CAT. 

CAT can’t be taken with chances which might be with those who prepare for exam thoroughly and each section of CAT viz; DI/QA/LR/VA is well understood and practiced with Mock Tests.

Inculcate habit of challenging yourself

It is natural that whenever we aim to achieve big, we are either told or guided to make our mind set that it will be a challenging one.

Times have changed, now it is taken granted that only weak minds will suggest negative and we must shun them. Fickle minded people are not invited to happening forums.

Overnight fighting spirit will not be born; you need to inculcate habit of challenging yourself for doing the best always. That will yield desired results.

Aspiring to be admitted in top B school is a wishful thinking but if executed with planned preparation then MBA entrance Exams like CAT / XAT / IIFT / CMAT / SNAP / NMAT can be cracked.
