Last post talked about onset of CAT 2009. Let’s try to dwell upon what needs to be done in coming months. One thing that requires urgent attention and is perhaps the most important part is focusing on the basics. How about mathematics? Beginning with old multiplication tables, it would not be a bad idea to learn and practice multiplication tables all over again. This will help in improving speed and we all know how vital speed factor is overall mathematics section. The speed factor often gives you an edge over your other competitors. Good number calculation skills are also helpful in data interpretation section.
Vocabulary section has remained a real pain for lots of students. The prime reason is lack of preparation and planning coupled with wrong perception about VA being the toughest section. But this problem has one easy solution and that is going back to reading habit. Reading has two benefits; one it gives you the sheer joy of reading and second, it enhances your comprehension skills as well. The last basic focus should be on interpreting data. Most of the students are very fond of cricket and soccer matches and they are very much aware of score sheet. The trick is how do you manage to interpret the data? If you do that effectively then you will have good DI basic in your hand. To sum it up, try to optimize all your resources and clear all your concepts.
