[Official] CAT 2013 Aspirants

@madhu.2 Then you need good practice.. refer to Arun Sharma's RC and Verbal ability book... refer to the online resource in my signature... all the best.. piing me for more queries
@ArunkumarCeg Well i am not a person who can suggest you books to read :)
honestly do some light reading... there is no need to read all the books under the sun - you would only end up wasting your time.
Keep reading the newspaper, strengthen your basics and solve crosswords etc. to improve on your contextual vocab as well as non-contextual vocab.
@ArunkumarCeg and @DN2686 and @justanshul : thank u guys :)

Hey guys, do you think coaching is absolutely necessary for cracking CAT.

@RajatBB Clarity of concepts is necessary which comes from thorough understanding of each topic and good comprehensive practice. and a coaching institute is just a means to get that... there are other means for achieving the same objective - depends on what you prefer

CAT 2011-96.8 percentile....Didn't apply for any colleges

Didn't appear in CAT 2012 due to paucity of time....
Looking forward to rock CAT 2013...:)
