Ohkay .my two cents on how to "is pattern k liye kha se padhe"
QUANTS and Reasoning:
get that book which has last 15-20 years of cat papers.that would be your best bet.ultimate source.but it will work only when you are clear with your basics.Ye tricks wali videos -falani sites pe jo aati hai , they just wont cut it anymore.In logo ka to dhanda band hone wala hai.
Aur abhi to khusi manao ki SBI ne number system , ap gp in sab pe bhut focus ni kya.In these type of questions , people who took coaching for IIT back in 12th , have a CLEAR ADVANTAGE.
Probability chod do.CAT coaching wale bhi bolte hai.CAT mei mushkil probability aaya to skip it..
and qunats concepts k lie Arun Sharma .uska level 2 tak wo bi.you can spend time figuring out the LOD 3 questions if need be.But believe it or not , CAT teachers say that LOD3 time waste hai.CAT mei is se asaan aate hai 😄
And cat level k ni tthey quants questions.CAT k to 1 ghnte bhi lekr bethe rho , to na ho .itne questions aise hote hai.
REasoning k lie to koi book ni chahie.KAfi log puzzles nikal lete hai ..to woi krte rho.
ENGLISH:
isme to kuch naya ni aaya tha.bas lamba tha.CR time lage to GMAT wali books se krna.acche se explained hai.BAaki jo acccha lage sun ne mei,,woi answer hota hai.
MOCKS:
SO in cat also ..there are the TIME mocks..and other mocks..like IMS ,CL..
TIME wale paper se kafi mushkil hote hai.. baki paper se neeche ya barabar.
So people buy both.
sab logo k TIME mei kam aate hai.TIME ka mock mei 85 percentile is 98 in real exam.CL wale mei 92 wale ka 98 jaata hai .
kuch log sirf CL ka lekr nikal dete hai.But then you are ignoring the IQ factor.
SO ob is cl and pm is TIME.buy both guys...or like two people buy one each ..and divide
To sum it up..ye sab krne k lie max 4 mhine chahie.thoda sabko aata hai.bas kamian puri krni hai.
Faltu ki tricks se jyada concepts pe dhyan dena hai.ratne wale logo k lie raaste band ho rhe kyunki...
And most important -aise paper mei .itns not about what you attempt, but what you do not.
