CAT Toolkit
(From Now Till 18th November 2007)
Part - 3
Ear plugs (cotton balls) to
remove distraction
Your handkerchief (it might be a cold morning)
MOST IMPORTANT - YOUR ROLL
NUMBER & ADMIT CARD
Once inside the hall, relax!
Don't see here and there, or look for your friends inside the hall. Sit back, be
cool! It is your war now. Sit comfortably!
Wait, you have another important
thing to tackle. How to reduce your MICRO-MOTIONS during your exam? This is
important as every micro-motion makes you lose some crucial seconds which when
added up are of utmost significance.
Keep your sharpened pencils and
eraser out in front of you. Remove your wrist-watch and keep it right in front
of you so that you don't have to move your glance from your paper to your hand
time and again (this reduces a significant micro-motion which is repeated at
least 15-20 times in those two hours). Keep your admit card and your
handkerchief on the left side of your table (assuming you work with your right
hand). If you shuffle through your pockets every time you need either of these,
you waste time (another micro-motion reduced, GREAT!). Your blunt pencil (a very
important tool) should be right on your OMR sheet. Attempt five questions and
fill ovals. Again do five questions and fill. Filling one by one takes a lot of
micro-motions and filling all in one go is risky. Remember, minimum
micro-motions and minimum fidgeting!
When you get the question paper.
Don't attack it, soldier! Scan, see and strategise, General! Now, move on.
When you add up all these
movements and motions saved, believe me, they will mean another 3-4 questions
attempted, that is, your ranking moving up by a few thousand students. GREAT,
isn't it?
So, gear up friend, NOW is the
time where Darwinism (I am talking of "Survival of the Fittest") will prove
absolutely correct!
REMEMBER -
"Life's battles don't always go
to the strongest or the fittest,
But the man who wins is the one who thinks he can."
AND "YES! YOU CAN".
