Ah well, my first attempt for CAT ... Quite Interesting The kids flocking the Thakur College gates was like thirsty men fighting to get hold of the only waterpump in a desert. This moment I got an idea that this is what our future managers are ![]() I felt better, standing away with a few patient and composed gentlemen waiting for the rush to ease. So my eyes naturally went on to notice the pretty gals, some on scooty, some with parents, some with a groups of friends (as if this was a movie outing) ... Whtever! Going back in time, a few hours back -- Just past midnight I was sitting at my desk, just back from a good long outing with cousins. I had the opportunity then to have a first look at the CAT paper pattern. Yes the FIRST look. (For the extra-serious kinds, who prepared a year for CAT - You can stop reading here). While purchasing the CAT forms from AXIS bank, some gentlemen from CareerForum had handed me this paper in a envelop ... So its true that I never prepared for this test, nor did I know whats coming. Though I can give the excuse that I don't believe in taking coaching for entrance exams, fact is that I didn't have the time. However as I sat in the exam hall I could see all kinds of jokers :P Some extra cheerful wishing best of luck to every tom dick and harry, while some extra studious silent ones. And a very few who looked like they had already secured admission to IIMA (yeah the overcondidents). So the paper.... It would be quite interesting to know how I did without any preparations. I was able to handle almost everything, except those square-roots and 7 raised to 2008 stuff. Anything that required knowledge of formulas or maths went as a bouncer. Logical ones were hit for boundaries, and I marked a few answers form the passages without reading the passage- as it was plain philosophy. I don't expect any magic, or great score .. but I heard people saying that CAT 2008 was on the easier side... Ps: Don't mistake me for a Asshole who just went for TP .. I am much worse than that ![]() You can catch me on Annkur | |

My second attempt and i again screwed it. ![]() Expected that format will be same..but der was a change in the format. Verbal- 40 Questions DI- 25 Questions Quant- 25 Questions According to me, DI compared to last year was bit tough. No of sets were more. it was calculation intensive. However, some sets like houses, cut-offs, teams (a, b, c, d, e, f) sets were easy. Quant was bit easier compared to last year. some sums like last 2 digits of 7^2008, common terms in sequences, seeds & horses were easy and doable. 40 ?s in verbal was bit difficult for me to handle (i Suck in verbal). So overall not a good experience for me. Will start CET preps ![]() It's better to let someone think you are an Idiot than to open your mouth and prove it.

@harjot: the recession is temporary ... quality brains will always get quality jobs MBA is not a degree, its a way of thinking and functioning. Though the branding it gives helps jobseekers, ... entrepreneurs do well after the wisdom of a MBA course is added to them | |
