To crack an exam like CAT, where 2 lakh plus students take up the exam and around 15-18k students make it to the top prestigious B-schools, it is important to have the right tools for your preparation. Prepleaf provides just that and gives you an added edge over others by providing customized tests that effectively helps you work on your areas of improvement.
1. Practice series: We’ve all heard the quote “Practice makes a man perfect” and strongly believe it as an important step to crack CAT and other competitive exams. So we’ve got this covered under 2 categories; Topics and Mixed.
- Topics wise: This section covers Quantitative aptitude questions and the Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension questions to gain expertise section-wise according to one’s requirement.
- Mixed series: This series is further categorized on the basis of difficulty levels of the questions as Easy, Medium and Hard. This way once the basics are covered the student can successively progress from easy to hard.
2. Test series: After practice, tests are the best way to know our mistakes and strategically rectify them. This section consists of:
- Topic-wise: This section has various topics that one should focus on according to their strengths and weakness. It covers Numbers; Algebra; Progression and Series; Average Ratio & Proportion; Time, Distance & Work; Probability & Combinations; Function & set theory and geometry under Quantitative aptitude. Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Para Jumble/Completion, Grammar, Critical Reasoning, Vocab /Analogies / Inference under VARC.
- Sectional: This series focuses on the complete sections of the CAT to be solved rather than topics alone i.e. QA, DILR and VARC. The students can this way work on a section they need more practice on.
- Full mocks: These complete full-length mock tests for CAT, SNAP and IIFT help them build on the strength, strategy and stamina one would require for the final exam. This series would help to plan and achieve your goals more efficiently.
3. Analysis: The AI-based platform allows the students to track and analyse the tests both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is can be done for individual tests as well as the overall performance so far. It also depicts the percentage of the set goals completed and number of days taken to keep a track of the progress that is made.
Another USP of this platform is the Customized test, this section helps students pick the topics under each section that they would need to work on more based on their current stance and hence gives them more challenging and growing platform to learn. The students can visit the questions they need to practice again by simply bookmarking the questions. All these series and tests can be diligently planned out on the planner available to be followed accordingly to be best prepared for D-day with complete confidence.

RC practice - 27th May 2020
Japanese firms have achieved the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency in the world automobile industry. Some observers of Japan have assumed that Japanese firms use the same manufacturing equipment and techniques as United States firms but have benefited from the unique characteristics of Japanese employees and the Japanese culture. However, if this were true, then one would expect Japanese auto plants in the United States to perform no better than factories run by United States companies. This is not the case; Japanese-run automobile plants located in the United States and staffed by local workers have demonstrated higher levels of productivity when compared with factories owned by United States companies.
Other observers link high Japanese productivity to higher levels of capital investment per worker. But a historical perspective leads to a different conclusion. When the two top Japanese automobile makers matched and then doubled United States productivity levels in the mid-sixties, capital investment per employee was comparable to that of United States firms. Furthermore, by the late seventies, the amount of fixed assets required to produce one vehicle was roughly equivalent in Japan and in the United States.
Since capital investment was not higher in Japan, it had to be other factors that led to higher productivity. A more fruitful explanation may lie with Japanese production techniques. Japanese automobile producers did not simply implement conventional processes more effectively: they made critical changes in United States procedures. For instance, the mass-production philosophy of United States automakers encouraged the production of huge lots of cars in order to utilize fully expensive, component-specific equipment and to occupy fully workers who have been trained to execute one operation efficiently. Japanese automakers chose to make small-lot production feasible by introducing several departures from United States practices, including the use of flexible equipment that could be altered easily to do several different production tasks and the training of workers in multiple jobs. Automakers could schedule the production of different components or models on single machines, thereby eliminating the need to store the buffer stocks of extra components that result when specialized equipment and workers are kept constantly active.
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
(A) present the major steps of a process
(B) clarify an ambiguity
(C) chronicle a dispute
(D) correct misconceptions
2. The author suggests that if the observers of Japan mentioned in line 2 were correct, which of the following would be the case?
(A) Japanese workers would be trained to do several different production jobs.
(B) Culture would not have an influence on the productivity levels of workers.
(C) The workers in Japanese-run plants would have higher productivity levels regardless of where they were located.
(D) The production levels of Japanese-run plants located in the United States would be equal to those of plants run by United States companies.
3. Which of the following statements concerning the productivity levels of automakers can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Prior to the 1960’s, the productivity levels of the top Japanese automakers were exceeded by those of United States automakers.
(B) The culture of a country has a large effect on the productivity levels of its automakers.
(C) The greater the number of cars that are produced in a single lot, the higher a plant’s productivity level.
(D) The amount of capital investment made by automobile manufacturers in their factories determines the level of productivity.
4. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph?
(A) A thesis is presented and supporting examples are provided.
(B) Opposing views are presented, classified, and then reconciled.
(C) A fact is stated, and an explanation is advanced and then refuted.
(D) A theory is proposed, considered, and then amended.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that one problem associated with the production of huge lots of cars is which of the following?
(A) The need to manufacture flexible machinery and equipment
(B) The need to store extra components not required for immediate use
(C) The need for expensive training programs for workers, which emphasize the development of facility in several production jobs
(D) The need to increase the investment per vehicle in order to achieve high productivity levels
6. With which of the following predictive statement regarding Japanese automakers would the author most likely agree?
(A) The efficiency levels of the Japanese automakers will decline if they become less flexible in their approach to production.
(B) United States automakers will originate new production processes before Japanese automakers do.
(C) Japanese automakers will hire fewer workers than will United States automakers because each worker is required to perform several jobs.
(D) Japanese automakers will spend less on equipment repairs than will United States automakers because Japanese equipment can be easily altered.

RC Practice - 28th May 2020
In recent years much attention has been paid to distilling those factors that create a positive work environment for corporate employees. The goal ultimately is to discover what allows some companies to foster high employee morale while other companies struggle with poor productivity and high managerial turnover. Several theories have been posited, but none has drawn as much interest from the corporate world, or has as much promise, as value congruence, which measures the "fit" between an employee's values and those of co-workers and the company itself.
The concept of value congruence is generally intuitive – when there is a match between employee and organization value systems, positive outcomes will result. Although the link between value congruence and positive organizational outcomes has been firmly established, until recently it was not clear why this process takes place. Rather than directly causing positive outcomes, value congruence primarily leads to positive outcomes through the enhancement of communication and trust between the organization and the employee. Value Congruence -> Trust + Communication -> Positive Outcomes That is, when value congruence between an employee and the organization is high, there tends to be high levels of trust and communication between the two parties.
Value congruence can be broken into three main subcategories: person-environment ("P-E"), person-person ("P-P"), and perceptual fit ("PF"). Person-environment congruence refers to a harmony between the personal values of the employee and corporate culture of the company in which he or she works. Someone with a high P-E congruence feels personally in tune with his company's stated policies and goals. Conversely, someone with a low P-E congruence feels a sense of disharmony between his own values and the stated policies and goals of his company. A high P-P congruence indicates a sense of solidarity with one's co-workers in terms of shared values and goals. A low P-P congruence indicates a sense of isolation from co-workers brought about by an absence of shared values. Finally, strong PF suggests a strong correspondence between the values that an employee perceives his company to have (whether or not the company actually does) and the values that his co-workers perceive the company to have (again, whether or not it actually does). A weak PF implies that an employee's perception of his company's values differs significantly from that of his co-workers.
Research has shown that P-E and PF congruence are important measures of employee satisfaction, commitment, and likelihood of turnover, although P-P congruence has little bearing on these parameters. Moreover, PF is especially important in establishing harmonious relations between workers and managers. These measures give corporations a robust paradigm on the basis of which to create long-term personnel plans and productivity growth targets: in particular, P-E and PF congruence allow companies to discover dysfunctional work relationships and clarify misperceived company policies and goals. With these tools in hand, companies can look forward to increased employee satisfaction and, ultimately, improved company performance
1. The passage suggests that perceptual fit congruence would be most useful in determining which of the following?
A. whether a company ought to make its policies and goals more transparent
B. whether a company ought to provide sensitivity training for its management
C. whether a company ought to create more opportunities for interaction among workers
D. whether a company ought to address employee grievances more directly
2. Which of the following correctly represents the relationship between value-fit, communication and outcomes for a corporate in context of the passage?
A. lack of communication between employee and organization could be a sign of low value-fit
B. transparency in peer-to-peer communication brings about positive outcomes
C. the policy statement of an organization enhances trust in the company and brings about positive results
D. there is no way to enhance outcomes for a company without fostering employee trust.
3. According to the passage, which of the following was a motivation in the creation of the system of value congruence?
A. a desire to minimize the liability of upper management for employee dissatisfaction
B. a desire to help companies to improve their internal harmony
C. a desire to foster awareness of factors influencing managerial success
D. a desire to eliminate discrepancies between a company’s goals and the values of its employees
4. The primary focus of the passage is on which of the following?
A. Comparing a new theory of corporate performance to a discredited theory and predicting the usefulness of the new theory.
B. Illustrating a new approach to measuring employee satisfaction through a detailed analysis of a particular case.
C. Challenging an old view of employee commitment and suggesting that a new paradigm is necessary.
D. Promoting a new method of measuring the likelihood of corporate success by explaining its benefits.

RC Practice - 29th May 2020
Fame and fortune are both mysterious and fickle. What is it that makes one person wealthy and famous, while the rest of his or her friends or colleagues are left behind? While it's true that money can't buy you happiness, at least on a long-term basis, it can definitely buy you the freedom to do what you want in life. And that is worth a lot.
While most everyone harbors a secret (or maybe not-so-secret) desire to be either rich, famous--or both--this is particularly true for members of the Millennial generation. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 81 percent of Millennials said that getting rich is their generation's first or second most important life goal, and 51 percent said the same about getting famous.
So, what is it exactly that the rich and famous do differently from the rest of us, and how can you adopt some of these habits in your own life? History might have a lesson here.
In popular wisdom, fame and fortune are often associated with virtue, industry, and a host of other attributes. However, random strokes of fate often determine such success and said commonly perceived virtues prove irrelevant. For instance, decades after her death, Coco Chanel remains the epitome of French fashion and her name, as well as the company she founded, is known throughout the world. Yet, few realize that she, while undeniably talented, initially succeeded by leveraging her status as a courtesan. As a company owner, it would be an understatement to say that she was not known for her generous treatment of her employees. During the Nazi occupation, she lived a privileged life at the Hotel Ritz and her lover at the time was a German intelligence operative.
Conversely, there is the example of Madeleine Vionnet, a professional contemporary of Chanel. She is often credited with permanently transforming fashion through her use of the bias cut—cutting material against the grain of the fabric. In the 1930’s, her gowns were worn by Hollywood stars, and her standing was second to none. She was also, in many ways, an early feminist, establishing largely unheard of employee benefits—such as day care and medicalcare—for her largely female staff. In addition, she lobbied for fashion copyright protections. When the Second World War broke out, she closed her business and simply retired. Today, she is largely unknown outside of the fashion industry.
1. The author wrote the passage to posit which of the following?
(A) that the relationship between virtue and success is inverse
(B) that an inferior designer was more successful than a superior one
(C) to contrast the aesthetic of Chanel to that of Vionnet
(D) to suggest that no causal relationship exists between personal qualities and professional legacy
2. The author discusses the employee benefits offered by Vionnet in order to
(A) differentiate her from Chanel
(B) illustrate Vionnet’s admirable qualities
(C) highlight the fact that virtues are no guarantee of success
(D) demonstrate the economic burden of her decisions that might have led to her failure
3. The Pew research shows all but which of the following about millenials?
(A) They are peculiarly fascinated with renown and riches
(B) Getting wealthy is one of their top priorities in life
(C) Their yearning for money and fame is not always evident
(D) On average, they desire fortune more than fame
4. Which of the following assertions about Chanel has been made by the author?
(A) She was not talented, but just lucky to have become so renowned
(B) Her success is attributable, at least in part, to her earlier profession
(C) She worked with the Nazi camp and was associated with a German intelligence officer
(D) She was generous to her employees

Guys, given the situation of the economy of the country (and the world for that matter), would it be a wise option to pursue an MBA? I've attended a few webinars where this question was brought up, and the professionals assured the viewers that when we will be graduating in 2023, we'll be getting good placements? Is that true because I'm having second thoughts...
