The Common Admission Test (CAT): The Common Admission Test (CAT) is conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and is the first step in the process of seeking admission to the IIMs. The CAT is considered as one of the most important national standard. Apart from the Indian Institutes of Management over 40 other Management Institutes use the CAT for short listing candidates.
CAT, like several others must have told you, is one of the most competitive exams. Also, it is the most unpredictable of all the tests. Formula work and rote learning don’t help to a greater extent when you are dealing with something like the CAT. This makes the test preparation interesting. CAT challenges your aptitude. And, there is no better motivation than a challenge.
If there is something typically CAT-like, it is only the ever-changing test structure. Consequently, you need to go beyond the mere understanding of concepts and be well versed with the application of concepts as well. CAT questions are like the real life scenarios where you are required to interlink two seemingly unrelated concepts and crack the problem.
A head start on the CAT 08 preparation will give you an edge over the other CAT 08 aspirants. Practice is the key to cracking the CAT. You may be a working professional or a student, an early start will allow you to balance your CAT prep with your graduation studies /work. If you start your preparation now you will have ample time to practice.
Complex it may seem to you, but is not unachievable when you prepare for CAT with ICAP. ICAP stands for Interlinked Concepts and Application based Pedagogy; is specially designed by IMS to help CAT aspirants. ICAP uses caselets to replicate real life problem situations and helps you with not just the theoretical knowledge of the concepts but also their application in varied problem situations. This case study based methodology ensures that you are equipped to take the changing CAT.
