Revisit VA section to score high in CAT 2012

CAT 2012 is just a week away hence, let CAT aspirants revisit VA preparation.

CAT is more about smartness than about intelligence. In CAT nobody expects you to answer all the questions. There should be an elimination round for the questions as well.

You should know what to select and what to reject in VA. You have to be choosy while attempting your paper. There is no fun in getting 4 marks for a question and losing one mark for the next. So, unless you are very sure of the solution to the question, don't attempt it.

If you want to be the smartest, give priority to "accuracy". 47 - 57 per cent of the paper done with 80 per cent accuracy will be much better than 80 per cent of the paper done with 47 - 57 per cent accuracy.

Do put in some efforts to improve your calculation speed for VA.

Many a times there are language traps laid by the paper setter. Even simple questions confuse you with their tricky language which is a deliberate attempt to affect your understanding.

Finally take Mock Tests and go ahead with full confidence to achieve success at CAT 2012.

Historically CAT is considered to be tough among all MBA entrance tests because of mainly two reasons; one is that numbers of engineers who take exam are much more at ease to clear QA section of CAT and second is that number of  CAT takers is more than 2 lakhs and both these factors make CAT much more competitive.

CAT percentile can prove to be differentiator and you may either be eligible for top B school or might be left out of race.
