Hi all i have some queries i am an engineer from bihar very average in acads (60% in 10th,12th,btech) and a gap of 3 long years after 10+2) i hav no idea but want to prepare for CAT/IIFT/XAT 2012. Please help me out with what approach to follow(eg books, materials, test series) to maximize my scores and percentile. What are the chances for a weak student like me to get admission in top 25 colleges. How to develop SPEED AND ACCURACY in Quant, Verbal, LR, DI/DS.. I am not so good in all these sections... i could not understand mera CAT me kaise hoga.

Though the Q is not for me, I would like to give my suggestion. I would suggest not to quit your job atleast till you get a good percentile. In case you have some family business or so which will help you get you experience certificate then it would be ok. Else it wouldn't be wise to quit your job, in my view.

Hey guys I'm vijay. Model engineering college '12 pass out. I'm seriously preparing for cat 12. I am looking for study partners who are into full time preparation. Btw i have to join mu sigma by Sept so till that time I will be 24 hours available.
