The Open SimCAT was designed to make the students CAT-ready. The CAT can be tamed by those who manage to remain composed under any given test scenario. While conceptual clarity and management aptitude are the requisites for taking the CAT; poise, confidence and presence of mind are instrumental for succeeding at the test. Open SimCAT format checked the CAT aspirants on all these areas.

The IMS’ Academic Innovation Wing last year had crafted the paper so inventive in terms of structure and pattern that the Math section had poetry in it. “I am a non-IMS student and while giving this paper I really felt that I was giving CAT: for the reason that it was a completely unexpected paper,” said Nikki, another SimCAT taker. Last year’s Open SimCAT became popular with the student community for the shock it gave them.

Hence, bolstered by all the positive student feedback on last year’s Open SimCAT, IMS has scheduled this year’s SimShock for the 4th November 2007.

To better assist the CAT aspirants across the country, IMS allows the non-IMS students to take the SimShock. SimShock is a must take for all the CAT 07 aspirants as it will give them a chance to experience the CAT one time before the actual CAT.

The test would be relevant to the CAT 2008 aspirants in many ways too. Getting into a high repute B-School has become even more challenging with the increased competition. To experience the CAT, students need to be in their final graduation year. But, CAT aspirants today prefer to start their preparation earlier than that. In their sophomore year itself, students start readying themselves for the CAT.

The SimShock this time will be shocking enough to make news. The test will power the students with the knowledge of their exact standing amidst the thousands preparing for the CAT.
