MBA Entrance Exam

When you go for IBS, you should know about your strengths and weakness. And if you identify strengths then one can be confident and start solving the test from questions based on your strong concepts. While weak areas can be practiced and focus should be on minimizing errors. In last minutes, aspirants should prepare a list of the formulas, concepts and tricks so that one can have quick access to all the important areas. Aspirants should take mocks first after that they realize mismanagement of time. Silly errors which do not get highlighted otherwise. Aspirants should not ignore past year sample papers. They are a great source to practice section-wise questions. I had taken the IBSAT, my personal experience was that if you want a top MBA college, you have to score more to maximise your chances. The best way to get a high score is to put in the time, go through each and every concept before the exam. There is one formula to succeed in IBSAT is practics, practics and practics. Take healthy meal during your exam time and take a proper sleep.

Consider these tips and keep them in mind to crack NMAT-UG exam and study with hard work accordingly
Quantitative Skills - It will be a mix of DI and QA questions. QA will have questions from Algebra, Arithmetic, Numbers and Geometry. The questions will be easy but with a few tricky questions in between that makes it moderate level.
Logical Reasoning - Almost thirty percent of the questions will be on verbal reasoning (statement-conclusion, critical reasoning, strong & weak arguments, statement-assumption, course of action, etc.).
Language Skills - There will be a couple of passages. If you aren't very good and quick with solving RCs, do not attempt these questions first. Attempt the rest of the questions that will be basically on find the error (in a sentence), fill in the blanks (double, cloze, prepositions-based), jumbled paragraphs, analogies and antonyms, and synonyms.
Preparation - After reading this, I guess you can make a fair idea of how to prepare for it. Refer any institute's course material and with that, you might consider buying Sarvesh Kumar (Quantum CAT) for Quant and similar Verbal Ability Book.
Hope it helps.

There are several common mistakes done by the students:
1. Not having a proper timetable:
Many of the students do not have their timetable which is the most and which is not being followed by them as they prepare timetable but didn't follow them.
2. Not revising properly
Students think that they do not need revision as they have done this before but it's totally wrong. Revision is a must to increase your speed to increase your knowledge. When you revise for your topics in the exam, you can easily solve day without taking more time.
3 Missing mock test
A lot of students do not give the mock test and they directly go for the exam. In this, they are making the biggest mistake because mock test help you for your final exam and while preparing for mock test, you are preparing for your finals. Also mock test gives you an idea about how much you can score in final.
4. Not clearing the doubts
Just once, don't feel shy to clear the doubts. If you have some doubts at that time you should ask your faculty and clear those doubts.
5 Not analysing their mock test
After giving the mock test, they just check the result. They do not analyse the question paper that what types of mistakes they have done where they didn't perform well. This over-analysis should be done by students while preparing
These are few common mistakes done by the students while preparing for IIFT if they avoid these mistakes then they easily crack all the exams for MBA for MBA entrance like IIFT, SNAP, CET, CAT, MAT, GMAT, NMAT and XAT.

A job with studies becomes a hectic task. But there are many people who do both at the same time.
Firstly, you need to plan and organize your activities. Like the time remaining after work hours, effective utilization of this time is needed.
Also, time spent in traveling should be utilized.
Start reading a newspaper like The Hindu, Editorial section to improve in verbal section.
Also, keep formula's /basic concepts ready on cards. So that you could read these cards during breakfast or idle time.
Also during lunch break or so see, News channels.
Things will become easy once you are sorted with the correct utilization of available time. CAT requires hard work, and there is no exception to this hard work. Eventually, these efforts will sail you through exams and make life better once you get a good college.
Also "Change of subject is rest to mind", so keep doing different subjects (Maths, LR, Verbal) inrotation.
Sometimes when tired, watch an English movie (will improve verbal).
This helps you keep work-life balance and prepare you for MBA.
All the best.

From my personal experience, I would say coaching classes can provide you only 20% of your marks, the rest you get is through self-study.
So, classes don't make much of a difference. Still, you can consider going for online Career Launcher classes. Enrolling courses helps to save you time and are much productive as compared to offline classes.
Personalised teaching which you get from these online coaching classes helps you understand "fundamental concepts" in a much more holistic manner.
Also, CAT is an exam of aptitude and not really the test of how much you know. Every question has a certain way to solve to save time so just try to search for those shortcut techniques to save time and earn more marks in CAT.
In the end, I would say while you go for the exam, keep your mind calm and solve the problems using fundamental concepts of class 10th.
