Things I’ve learnt from CAT ’12

Ever since I took the CAT on Day 1 (Oct 11), I’ve been meaning to jot down some pointers for all of you. Though nothing really has changed from last year, there are a few things that you need to keep mind. Now, just when I was beginning to think I’d never get around to writing it down, someone suggested a video post. So here it is, my first ever video post on this blog.

What’s up with CAT ’12…

It’s been over 10 days since I took the CAT on Oct 11. Since then, many of us at CL have taken the exam and they have been sharing their feedback and updates with me.

First-ever Online SQC…it’s a housefull!

Jiska koi nahi hota uska online SQC hota hai. Just a day or two ago I was worried how I’d be able to cover maximum cities for Smart Quant Cracker before CAT. There were requests from students from all over the country, and I did not know how to accommodate all of them. Then someone suggested we do online – and it was a brainwave! I hate telling you guys that SQC is not coming to Amritsar or Cochin, Coimbatore, Surat, Raigarh and so many cities that I cannot cover this year. But who knew, jiska koi nahi hota...
