Mock CAT
From the very first day that I started with my CAT prep what I wanted to do was to give an all India Mock CAT exam, just wanted to see where I stand amongst others as of now. And fortunately my wish was fulfilled yesterday when I actually gave one. It was a good experience; I realized that it has become very difficult for me to sit at one place for two and a half hours at a stretch. It was based on the CAT 2006 paper, same no of questions, durations, kind of questions but it was less intensive than that. The main motive of the paper was to make us aware of the kind of exam CAT is and enable us to learn how to manage our time effectively and finally direct our haphazard efforts in an appropriate direction.
My score was good , better than many people around me but still I am not satisfied because I know that I could have done much better , I hate my habit of cribbing after each exam , but I guess that it is this lack of satisfaction that forces me to perform better the next time.
The main problem was not the toughness of questions but I sucked at managing my time in the last few minutes, I was just flipping through the entire paper to find some easy question that I had left earlier but ended up doing nothing in the last 15-20 minutes. Anyways this is just the starting there are many more tough ones to come ahead.
Looking forward to them!!!

hey....nice that u ve got a gud score....this idling ur time in the last 20 mins or so will take time to get over with...just abt builiding stamina....like shifting from 20 over matches to 25 over matches...
keep working hard...also one thing that u can do as a strat for this type of a paper is to go thru each section for a short time, look at it,judge the difficulty...and then decide how to manage time....
good goin n best of luck...
