Execution is more important than planning

Planning is okay but it is execution of planning that is really vital because while executing, you might notice flaws of planning which remains theory till executed. 

MBA aspirants who plan for taking multiple entrance exams need more of execution in form of practicing with mock tests. 

Further, it is analysis of exam preparation that forces you to change strategy to succeed. If coming CAT 2013 is likely to test you more analytically then you need to prepare more on QA and DI.

Experts say that it is execution mode that strategizes planning also many a times and not vice versa hence, whatever plan is on table, it is execution only, that will get you success!

Make Vocabulary strong for CAT 2013

For CAT, a good vocabulary is very essential, although CAT does not test candidates on their knowledge of difficult words directly. This is because the passages and answer options given in the Reading Comprehension section may have some difficult words. Not knowing their meaning could decrease the candidate’s ability to understand the passage. 

Questions based on testing one's vocabulary - the plain "synonym - antonym" questions used to appear in CAT in the early 2000's; these have become very rare over the past 10 years. 

Although a good vocabulary definitely helps in handling CAT, purely vocab-based questions are almost non-existent these days. Quite a few words have an interesting origin, and there is a story, legend or myth associated with them. A number of words come to us from Roman or Greek mythology.
