The Mystery of R1, R2, R3 Solved: Presenting the ‘Strength Finder’

The Mystery of R1, R2, R3 Solved: Presenting the ‘Strength Finder’

Posted by | Oct 21, 2016 | , , , , |

Why is it that most of us are unable to identify R1, R2, and R3 questions while taking Mock CATs and usually end up attempting the difficult questions over the easier ones? The reason is that most of us are confused about our strengths and weaknesses. We work at the macro level i.e. the topic level (Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry etc.) but our attempts in CAT have to be at the question type level, and many of us are unable to reconcile the two levels. Is it something new to us? Of course not! We have done this regularly for...

Take CAT twice before the D-day

Posted by | Sep 29, 2016 | |

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could take the CAT thrice in one season? Or wouldn’t it be delightful if each of your CAT mock emulated the real exam, not just in terms of the level of difficulty but also in terms of the ‘feel’ – the build-up to the exam, the anxiety of finding the test center, the ambience and also the test-taking online platform.
