Why Essay writing test?



B-Schools believe that the admission process of conducting Group Discussion and then Personal Interview has become so predictable that students mostly come prepared and it becomes difficult for the panel to judge their real ability.

That is why; this new trend of conducting WAT instead of GD will help the admission committee judge a candidate in a better way.

Essay writing is something that you cannot improve overnight. It has to be in your habit. For developing a habit of essay writing, you need to practice it on day to day basis. Writing practice is very important, but to develop a habit of analysis is much more important.

If you really want to reach a position where you can write an essay over any given topic, then you have to develop a habit of analyzing each and every situation as well as topic you come across.

Worrying alone not be sufficient



It is said that a bit of worry is good to push performance or get success, actually sometimes worry works as catalyst to achievement. But this must be supplemented with efforts.

Agreed that anxiety engulfs during GD & PI but other side is that selection panel is looking in you a confident personality and that is the essence of clearing these tests.  

To overcome fear psychosis, practice and habit of reading beyond text books comes handy besides daily regimen of reading news papers. 

Preparation with winning attitude and adamancy of not getting defeated easily will certainly fade worry.

You can also enquire in PI



In most of the cases of Personal Interview you might be getting chance from the selection panel and they may ask you, ‘we are open to your query if you have any’

What a golden chance you got if you have been told by like that ! This is an area where you can market yourself and put queries in regard to the infrastructure of the Institute, life at the institute, future prospects at the institute and the top of all how you would be benefited in terms of learning from the institute ? 

The trick over here is that you must put query which should sound to be pragmatic and full of positivism  If you practice on PI with variety of examples chances are high that you will able to motivate selection panel and get success in PI

You must counter in GD!



Group discussion or GD is forum wherein you must discuss the topic with pros and cons. Besides your communication, your skill on countering co group member statement and further elaborating is also on anvil. 

With the above skill you will be benefited two folds, one you will be able to listen carefully and forming habit of understanding others second you will be able to focus on topic automatically. 

Countering on some point is not interruption or objection. This is an art which can be developed with practice in small group. After having countered, onus will be on you to simply and forcefully close in with valid logical thinking because on your finishing others might follow the same route and if found they are better than you so you might lose opportunity to be leader in GD
 
It is essential to read GD topics on variety of subjects to be successful in GD!!
