Q. Is this your first attempt?
First attempt, time frame is subjective of a person.
Q. What is the minimum time-frame needed to prepare well for CAT? How long did you prepare for it?
I was strong at math from my school days and didn't prepare specifically. I did some mock tests conducted by TIME institute.
Q. What did you do to improve your weak areas?
I was not strong at English initially. I tried to improve my vocabulary. I completed – Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis. I read many news and other articles on the internet. Also, whenever I used to come across a new word I used to look it up in the dictionary.
Q. Did you join any coaching institute? Is it necessary to join coaching to prepare for CAT?
I joined TIME institute. I feel that if you have a clear cut idea about the test pattern and syllabus then it is not necessary to join coaching. But joining a good coaching centre definitely helps.
Q. Do you pursue any hobbies? Tell us about them?
My hobbies include watching sports and playing, particularly football.
Q. Tell us about your family.
My father passed away when I was in my first standard and I moved to my uncle’s home. My mother works as a Junior Assistant in the Irrigation Department in Telangana.
Q. What are your sectional scores?
My sectional scores are 144.8 and 119.
Q. Have you received any calls so far?
No, have not received any call yet.
Q. Which institute are you aiming for?
Hoping to get into IIM-A.
Q. Any tips for future CAT aspirants?
My suggestion is to be conceptually strong and practice to increase speed and accuracy. One should believe in oneself and try to gain knowledge and results will follow.
