Guest Post by Nikita Patwa

As countdown to CAT 2010 begins, Nikita shares with all the CAT 2010 takers some important tips and suggestions. Join me in thanking her for sharing such useful tips for handling upcoming examinations.

CAT – Way To Win

The season seems to be changed. Those puny puny preparations transformed in all nights love and practice with books with coffee in one hand and pen in other.

With need of arduous work and fame CAT accompanies some Satan like depression, trepidations etc. But good news for all aspirants is that, they will overcome all the evils with the angels of confidence. So here are some tips you need to follow during the last hot time and all evils will be thrashed out from your mind.

The Best Mantra

CAT= Preparation + Confidence – Boredom-Indifference

Well if you had been loyal throughout your studies no one can ever hinder your success. Remember "be true to your talents".

Things to Do in Last Month

Revisit your problem areas.

Revise! Revise!!Revise!!!

Make daily schedule and make important notes.

Practice mock cat's as many as you can. (But never forget to tap your back for your performance)

Discuss and help your buddies to solve the problem areas.(doesn't make difference to help someone because your competition is not with one but with a big number aspirants)

Things to Be Taken Care in Last Week

Relax!Relax!!Relax!!!

No more mock CATs.

Revise especially Quants.

Well time to tune your biological clock according to your exam slot.

Don't ever forget to wish yourself "LUCK".

Get some fresh air and enjoy it.

Things to be Managed in Hall

Be with your required documents.

Read instructions carefully.

Remember you have sectional cutoffs. (Try to allocate about equal time to each section)

Every question is solvable, but not every question should be solved.

No question is an ego issue.

Don't panic if the question is tough and don't be elate if they are not.

Well friends it's been a long time you must have spent with your books and all focus in studying trying hard. So the right time has come to put your knowledge in right direction. So dear it's not going to hurt if you watch "Inception" one time but it will hurt if you see that 5th time. Remember "it's not always about aptitude but it's about your atitude that will lead you to success. If you can think! Yes you can do it!!

ALL THE BEST!!!

Tips on Solving DATA INTERPRETATION Problems

Tips on Solving DATA INTERPRETATION Problems


Tips on Solving DATA INTERPRETATION Problems

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 04:42 AM PDT

Data may be represented in a number of complex forms, and hence solving Data Interpretation problems becomes far more difficult. There is no fixed format for solving such problems, and each has to be tackled in its own distinct way. Thus, to answer such questions correctly, it is essential to practice all types of Data Interpretation exercises a number of times, so as to be familiar with all the data presentation types. Yet, there are some primary guidelines that can always be followed:

Tips on Solving DATA INTERPRETATION Problems:

a) Read the data very carefully, as the smallest detail may change the meaning of the question completely. Similarly, the instructions have to be understood carefully to prevent wasting time in calculating data that is not required, and also to find out exactly what is the answer that is sought.

b) Try to understand the data provided carefully, before jumping to answer the questions. The questions are designed to be deceptive, and proper understanding of the requirements is a must. If the Data Interpretation is of the Combined variety or if there are more than one data table/charts/graphs, try to understand the relation between the given tables. For Example, one table may talk about absolute sales figures, while the other table may talk of sales as a percentage of production. Hence, any question on excess production or Goods in stock, will require data from both tables.

c) Be very careful of the units used in the tables, and the units in which the answers (options) are provided. A mistake in the units may yield an entirely different answer. Also be careful of whether the answer is required in decimal or percentage. Such errors are common and easily avoidable.
