Just 7 days to go for the most hyped competitive exam held in India. All the years of preparation will be determined in the given 2hr 30 minutes. Few will remain in compose during the exam and ‘ll leave the hall exam with a broad smile but most of the cat takers ‘ll have a different day on 19th Nov. 2006.

CAT sentence correction questions are designed to test your ability to identify written English that is grammatically correct. Each question will begin with sentences, parts of which have been underlined. You will then be presented with 4 different answer choices presenting alternative ways of stating the underlined portion of the text. One answer choice will repeat the text without any changes (meaning that the sentence is clear in meaning and grammatically correct as written). The other choices will re-write the text, sometimes in subtle ways.

 In gleaning data from a chart, graph or table, it's remarkably easy to inadvertently grab your data from the wrong graph, bar, line, etc. This is the #1 cause of incorrect responses in CAT Data Interpretation. To avoid this blunder, point your finger to the data you want; put your finger directly against the question paper and keep it there until you're sure you're looking at the right part of the right chart or graph.

 Memorize the four answer choices; they're the same for each and every Data Sufficiency question.Be careful not to carry over any information from one numbered statement to another. (Making this mistake is remarkably easy, especially under time pressure and in a momentary lapse of concentration.)If a question asks for a numerical value (as opposed to a quantitative expression that includes variables), the question is answerable only if a numbered statement (1 or 2) yields one and only one possible numerical answer--not a range of values.

Depending upon your mock test scores you should know how much time you should spend on Quant section. Ideally if you are looking for just clearing the cutoff you should give 28-32 minutes and if Quant is your scoring section then you should give 39-45 minutes depending upon your strategies.One-mark questions are usually easier ones so it’s a good idea to start with these questions. Before starting any 2 marks question read the question carefully and figure out if you know all the basics required for solving the problem. If you don’t feel confident after reading the question then just leave it. Never waste your time in trying a question just because you have read the question.

HERE YOU'LL FIND  top DO's and DON'Ts for both multiple-choice sections (Quantitative and Verbal) of the CAT. These basic test-taking tips apply to all multiple-choice questions.DON'T resort to random guesses. Instead, always try to eliminate at least one answer choice before you confirm your response. If you must guess, always try to eliminate obvious wrong-answer choices first, then go with your hunch. Eliminating even one choice obviously improves your odds. If you're out of time on a section, there's no advantage to guessing randomly on the remaining questions. Why? You might luck out and guess correctly. But incorrect responses move you down the ladder of difficulty to easier questions, and your reward for responding correctly to an easy question is less than your reward for responding correctly to a more difficult one. So on balance, there's no net advantage or disadvantage to guessing randomly.
