Why CAT is tough ?
I asked myself few questions ....
Who is my competitor in CAT ? Lakhs of students.NO !!!
Everybody tells me that you have millions of competitors and you need to be very fast,accurate and smart to crack CAT.But I think my real enemy is that booklet of CAT paper which I have to solve on that day.
Then,why CAT is tough ?
One of the reason ...CAT is tough and unpredictable because its difficult to map the thought process that goes behind in creating CAT.
What goes behind in creating those tests ?
CAT is not outsourced to supercomputers of Japan.Take any old CAT paper and compare it with last year CAT and you will know what I am trying to say.CAT has evolved into a great exam by following a dedicated,disciplined and smart thinking over the years.Practice made the CAT almost perfect.
Practice of what ? Creating questions !!!
How much effort I put in understanding how these "difficult" questions are created ?
For this jhanjhat,I have outsourced my work to coaching companies who create practice tests for me.My job is to study fundamentals,practice questions,take mocks,compare my rank with others and hope for the best.
What if I start creating questions ?
Whenever I look at any question,my mind automatically starts working trying to find the solution of the problem.I have barely realized I am conditioned to jump into "solution finding" mentality.

Once I develop these question creation skills may be I'll look at the question from two different viewpoints that will help me to understand the problem better and find solution efficiently.
Instant 2 Minute fun recipe
Before starting,you have to check whether it works for you !! Take any theme(say champions trophy etc) and a concept(number system,geometry etc) and create 2 genuine questions..tough,easy or medium whatever.Its your domain NOW !!
Take these questions to your teachers and friends and see how they react and solve questions.
and then ask yourself
1.Does it help you understand the concept better ?
2.Can you distinguish between creating questions and solving them ?
3.Do you think question creation skills should be part of CAT preparation ?
4.Do you think question creation skills helped you understand other questions faster ?
360 degree experience of CAT Exam
If you think this approach can help you prepare well(with lots of fun),let's start a platform where we can post questions and people solve our questions.
Not only we can create a big repository of questions but we can find multiple ways of finding solutions.
Lets create our own Mocks !!!
