The Non-Engineers Issues

Question : A Non-Engineer can really crack CAT with 100%ile?







My Answer:

1. You may be beginning from scratch, but your concepts/knowledge may not be at a novice level. You may have some skills/knowledge that you developed over the years. 


So, step 1 - find out where you are now


Take a mock test.... Do analysis.... understand where you are [you could take one of the old CATs from 2017-2019].


2. Now that you know where you are, set a target - a section wise. 

Say VARC + DILR + QA  60+40+70 = 150 or 70 + 30 + 70 = 170 or 60+50+70 = 180...... etc. (whichever you think is most realistic)


3. Come up with a plan

VARC - 

VA : 50 questions each on PJ, PS, OS
RC : 50 RC passages
[to get the skills]

DILR -

Do 100 sets to get the skills


QA - start with the topics/areas that you have forgotten.

Ensure that you have a good grasp of arithmetic & algebra. Those  two together is almost 25 questions out of the 34. 

4.

 Take mock at regular intervals with thorough analysis. Identify problems that you can solve.

5. 

Be okay with losing some battles. Look at your target and make corrections if necessary to achieve that target.

6. 

Be Disciplined... Don't give up... There could be minor setbacks, but hang in there.👍

  1. Wow, this topic has been explained very well, but one more thing can be added to it, that is *determination*.

Make a Stan for Timeless Art

 One museum's fossil can be an art collector's installation  In December 2019, a real banana duct-taped to a wall, billed as a work called comedian, by the Italian satirical artist Maurizio Cattelan fetched $120,000 at a prestigious art show in Miami. Not long after, another identical work by the same artist was also sold for the same amount.Both buyers were French and they were connoisseurs, not consumers, presumably. Not only did the perishable nature of the art not affect its saleability— a 'performance artist' peeled the banana off the wall and ate it — the work was declared the 'unicorn of the art world'. If that banana symbolised the evenescence of an artistic idea, its timelessness will surely be underlined by the sale of a67 million-year-old composition of bones that is the highlight of Christie's Evening sale of 20the century Art in October in New York.  The 'work' has been named Tyrannosaurus Rex(by paleontologists) and Stan (by its finders...

Europe's plague Joke Renaissance

 Laughing at the face of coronavirus is getting contagious in that continent With much of Europe abd Britain getting back under lockdown covers with Covid relurking,  the cradle of dodgy pandemic jokes is having a renaissance. The chaps who brought the world the Teutonic Bubonic Plague Jokebook— the Black Death supposedly the prime reason for Germans losing their sense of humour — are already guffawing with fear. The strategy this time seems to be any dearth of mirth will be the birth of death. So, as cracks like the corona virus also keeping their versions of pub and restaurant timings —it's rule-abiding Europe for the critters too, you see— go viral, who knows, one may even have a new healthy obsession with Eros and Thanatos, rather than a prolonged taste for organic food and EU Rules of Origin Laws.  Remember, this is the continent of the original Coveni, Covidi, Covici( I came down with Covid , I saw Covid, I conqured Covid), not to mention the very name ' Coronavirus...

Work on Grining from Year to Year

 That work life is no laughing matter appears to be corroborated by a recent study done by two Standford University academics, who found that cachinnations start becoming less frequent from a median age of 23, or about the time when people get jobs. Whether or not the researchers' prime conclusion– that laughter is " under-leveraged" in offices and can be a gamechanger, professionally , if properly utilized — is solid enough to take Humour Seriously (also the little of their book), it is true that laughter is not exactly a common workplace sound. It is heartening at their survey of the daily laughing habits of 1.4 million people from 166 countries showed that four -year-olds did so up to 300 times a day. But their additional finding that 40 years olds clocked up that same number over 10 weeks is a sobering statistic. Of course, if that cohort also laughed as frequently as four year olds, it would be quite alarming, not to mention distracting, in workplaces.  That laughter...
