CAT Toolkit
(From Now Till 18th November 2007)
Part - 2
First of all, from now on put a
break on your studies. Enough is enough, friends! Feel proud and confident of
what you have done till now. Now, work only on removing your CAT apprehensions.
Considering things which would
give you an extra edge, begin with something small but very significant. If you
are an out-station candidate, make it a point to reach the city of your
examination center one day before the C-Day. If possible visit your center on 18
November 2007 and get familiar with the battle-ground.
Your battle-ground might be a
beautiful place but DO NOT go sight-seeing on 18 November 2007. You can do all
that on 18th evening, please. Just sit back and relax! Indulge in reading or may
be doing some Reading Comprehension exercises, not to score or rate yourself but
to keep a consistent reading speed. Believe me; if you can read fast, it would
be much easier for you to scan through the complete CAT question paper in the
stipulated time. So, the mantra is KEEP READING!
Another very important thing is
to make it a point NOT to get involved in any kind of argument, debates or
discussions with anyone, and anyone means ANYONE. Save your energy for the 18
November 2007. That is when you need it the most! TAKE REST! That is what will
put you and your mind at ease enough for you to attack the questions most
rationally. 17 November 2007 night will be crucial with you being very, very
anxious but take 8-hours sleep. This will prepare you, that General, properly
for the GREAT WAR on 18 November 2007.
Don't wear new apparel. No one
that morning would have the time to see what you are wearing, take our word for
it. Wear clothes you are comfortable in.
If possible, DO NOT involve
yourself in a discussion regarding your preparation level for the exam,
especially at your test level. Don't let people around make you feel jittery.
Believe in yourself and keep thinking, "Yes You Can", and let others have their
own way.
Hey! General, don't forget your
weapons.
