How NOT to Bell The CAT

Hi Friends.....

I have seen a lot of people writing blogs about their CAT experience. Some write how they prepared and some how they felt after belling the CAT. Being an eternal follower of masses, it is my duty to write about my experience.

Statutory Warning: Following my way can cause severe damage to your chances of belling the CAT.

Someone said that the chances of you cracking the CAT is directly proportional to the amount of hatred you have for your job. This is perhaps the only thing which explains my success. Here is my way of Belling the CAT:

1) Pay a huge sum of money to your coaching class to join the regular classroom coaching.
2) Do not attend more than 10 lectures.
3) Go to a place away from your home & office to see rocks day in & day out for some 40 days.
4) Take the rocks to a hospital & get them CAT scanned. (I'm not kidding)
5) Return to your place to find out that you have completely lost the urge to go to the coaching class for which you paid the huge sum.
6) Pretend you are preparing for CAT by taking the Mocks every sunday & forget the paper afterwards.
7) A day before the CAT go and watch Om Shanti Om as it clears your mind of every damn thing in the world. (Thanx Shahrukh :p)
8) Play 29 till 2:30 in the morning with fellow CAT takers.
9) Reach the center.
10) Start solving the quant section & fall in love with it. Do not leave it till half the test time is over.
11) Then go to the VA section hoping you wont be knowing much about the questions (past experience you know)
12) Suddenly find that you are actually solving the questions. Thanking the IIMs for the pleasant surprise keep solving for 45 mins.
13) Then suddenly realize that IIMs expect you to show your competence in all the three sections & you have only half an hour to show your competence in the DI section.
14) Jump to DI section and show you are quite competent when it comes to solving the sub standard CAT DI section.

On the result day check the percentiles to find out you have aced it by securing 99.95%ile [:)]
