coachin classes

[kartik]

Classroom environment.. baah... Ask my friends and they would tell you what classroom environment is for .

A person who wants to do something desperately will create his own environment.

For strategies..as I said... you cannot expect a pattern or foretell the test.. so classes cant teach you any. (Ref: CAT 2005 paper, 90 q's wonly)

I never paid attention in school.. classes were a hub to socialise when i was in my teens... I studied on my own terms.. what i wanted to.. when i wanted to ... and the way i wanted to ...

To sum it up ...For guyz who have a attitude like mine.. dont do classes.. experience speaks

For the rest... gaurav bhaiya will share his experiences

Mere bhai, why does ur post seem to be ur own experience and not a general overview of the scenerio..
Intelligent ppl like u might bunk classes and create ur own institutions, but that doesn't change the fact, that the lesser mortals need to study and need some guiding factor. Nowhere have i said that anything is absolutely necessary, but we are looking for an optimal solution. There are people who crack CAT without coaching classes too... but their calibre is different. They have the proper discipline to do what it takes, but for the rest of us, we need to be told and made to work. True! we r not the best, yet if we get a proper guidance, we can become the best!!

yeah! no one for tells them... they only predicts them from their experience. They do make u prepare for the worst. It is only this is why, they are the teachers... Do u expect everyone amongst us to be Eklavya?? No siree, we are ordinary mortals, only!! <b>

As i said b4, u probably don't need classes, and u might be comfortable studying on ur own... but people who decide upon MBA don't even know the abc of CAT. So, how do u expect them to gather all this intricate info. If nothing at all, coaching institutes, help u to give u all bits and bytes together, give u good study material and then u can discuss them. U get to form a good group. Obviously, u may not know many people, but once u start going to classes, u will find many people close to ur intellect, who would be willing to do group studies... and this is not it. They help u prepare for gds and interviews later on. So any examination, u need a group. If u are able to form a group, then its fine... but do u think, i can form a group as such.. But when i'm going to a coaching class, this is another factor, which would be helping.. i.e. i can easily form a group among the people who would be staying near my place...

I will say again... coaching classes don't assure u a seat in IIMs.. but they do act as catalysts for u to prepare well. Its upto u whether u can reap the benefits they offer.. Regards, Gaurav

When d hell did this thread get transfered to d big fight section

I thought this was a general thread and hence I was putting in my suggestions / views .. ( rather forcing my views )


Anyways ... If you are generalising the whole Coaching classes thing.. then ofcourse it would differs from person to person...


Assuming you as a BMS student need classes.. I would say no.. You already have the environment.. you already know people who are appearing for CAT.. you can form study groups etc etc... and also, it wouldnt be easy to cope up with BMS + CAT .

For a person who has already done his graduation.... I would say this is a place to revive your knowledge, meet like minded people, form study groups etc.

His background, stream, education status, work status etc etc etc ...

Actually thinking about it .... I feel you cannot generalise it.. you can only share your experiences .... good or bad.. and then the individual who is going to take CAT has to decide.

Well seems like a lots of yes nd no's for coaching Classes..!!

I believe for CAT you do need coaching classes..!! I guess i havnt done much classes till date except in 7th when i had to learn Hindi in 6 weeks and i knew nothin on it..!! All the other studies can mainly be done by oneself.. As its jst abt understanding some concept and writing the paper..

But CAT is totally a different game.. U never get enough material from where the questions could be asked. You would be having the capabilities of solving 70 questions in the paper assuming paper being 90 but never have the time to do it.. You are in competition with another 2 lac students and u knw u gotta be in the top 2000 list..!!

Coaching classes help you in providing those shortcuts with which you could solve the same question in lesser time.. I dont say u wont get that shortcut from some expert of frm sites & forums.. ( U Get everythin over here including vedic maths) but what u dont get is 20 odd other people with whom u could time yourself..!! U'll get to knw where u stand infact if some1 is betterin ur time u could learn what more tricks does he have in his bag..!!

Than again u have simcats in ims and time series in time, which gets you more analysis of hw long is the way..!! ( And hw many ahead ya)

I dont say that CAT is all about jst strategies there is a bit of luck involved to.. You might make strategies and solve jst limited question while u might have a partner seating besides who comes frm no prep land, knwz some question the others he jst takes risk might be right, might be wrong and bullzeye hits the score needed..!!

Competition largely motivates people if they are focussed on the goal.. and what better way to compete with fellow 15-20-25 students who have the same goal as yours..!!

Alright.... so now we're talking!! True Kartik.. it depends on individual-2-individual. Something good for u may not hold for me.. But since the person opened this thread, we merely tried to show him (or was it her? ) the benefits of coaching classes.
anyway, the point of discussion was wrt CAT from the starting and not BMS. I guess, we have had a nice fight so far... (I feel so relaxed... )
Chalo lets switch over to some other thread and start the 'BIG FIGHT' dere..

[themaharana]

definately not. but then u need 2 practice daily for some time with a focussed approach in order 2 clear. ( We talk such things but definately its not as easy as it appears)
