The Language Comprehension area contains questions on Reading Comprehension, Antonyms, Synonyms, Analogies, Sentence Correction, Sentence Completion, Para Jumbles, Fill in the blanks etc. with easy to moderate difficulty level. It is essentially a Vocabulary heavy section, and to do well, a student is advised to develop a good command over words. Most of the Vocabulary based questions can be answered with a sufficient knowledge of roots, prefixes and suffixes. In fact, starting with these questions makes a lot of sense as a sizeable chunk of marks can be scored here in double-quick time.

Find Your Weak Spots: No student will be a master of each section of the test. It is important to identify your weak spots and to focus on them while studying. Temperature check can be used to check your weaknesses, including specific subsections of each section. Mathematical Skills
The Mathematical Skills area mostly contains problems from Arithmetic, Business Maths and Geometry. Those of who have developed a "fear-psychosis" after the CAT / IIFT mathematics would find solving these questions a much easier task. The questions involve direct applications of concepts and formulae, and none of the complicated and convoluted reasoning of the CAT! Students are well advised to revise the basic formulae and

www.cmat2012.in | www.cetking.com | www.cmatking.com

All about CMAT workbook

concepts of Maths and solve as many questions as is possible from the aforementioned topics in the run-up to the CMAT. The Data Analysis and Sufficiency area contains sets of questions on Tables, Bar / Line graphs, Pie chart and Data Sufficiency. Questions here, would again be calculation intensive but easy enough to find the answers to. Knowledge of multiplication tables, square and cube roots, fractions to percentage conversions and other calculation short-cuts and approximation techniques would be of immense help to the students in reducing the time taken to solve the questions.

Logical Reasoning
In the Logical Reasoning area the questions are normally seen from the various Logical Reasoning topics like Direction Sense, Blood Relations, Coding and Decoding, Data Arrangement, Input/Output analysis, Series and Sequences and Critical Reasoning. These are topics that require plenty of practice and the students are well advised to solve as many questions as are possible from these areas.

Focus Your Studies: Don't try to study everything on the syllabus. Not only will
this be too difficult to comprehend, it can cause you to worsen in other areas. The skills needed for quantitative understanding are much different than those for verbal. General Knowledge section
General Knowledge section contains questions from General and Current Awareness. Topics and events about a year old would be most expected to be faced in this area. Business, politics, sports, awards and distinctions, books - anything could be a part of this section. Students who have had a decent reading habit in the past one year or so of their MBA entrance examination preparations, would not find too much of difficulty in attempting questions from this section.

4. How to study for CMAT
Temperature Check Complete the basics Sectional tests and exercises Start taking mocks every week Improve your weaker section Find shortcuts and strategies

Temperature check Most common question in the mind of most of the students is where to start! This temperature check tool will help you analyze where you stand and how much improvement you need. Spend around 1 hour to 30 mins on this and at the end of it you will get a clear picture of your scores. It will take one month to improve your weaker section. If you like a stranger and directly propose her she will slap! So first know her by talking to her, take her out for coffee then give your luck a try. Similarly start with the solved examples to know the topic well. Then try some more exercises to gain knowledge about the subject. Finally try to take some sectional tests to see your performance. Temperature check is given on next page. Complete the basics | Revise the basics By basics we mean what should be able to solve every question given in the books without any problem. If you have already completed the material available to you then move on to other books we would recommend RS Agrawal for all topics. Once you have completed the basics start the cycle of revising them all. You will definitely score more than 100 120 marks if you have done the basics. Sectional Tests and exercises Start taking sectional tests and time based exercises. We would recommend taking 2 3 tests a week will see where you stand and how much improvement you need. If you are unable to find any books with enough tests then start using your current book and start taking tests of 20 40 questions in 30 minutes. Start taking mocks

www.cmat2012.in | www.cetking.com | www.cmatking.com

All about CMAT workbook

We consider mocks to be kicks. Start taking mocks once every week, this will help you gauge your performance and know where you stand. Mock scores will also help you identify your aim and strategy for the last few days before CMAT. Please start your mocks even if you have not completed the chapters. Completing everything is a never ending process so start taking mocks from this week onwards. We have good mock taking strategies program called mock engineering program but we wont open our cards till you have solved a few mocks and have made some strategies. Then call us and we will help you frame a fool proof strategy for mocks. It takes 3 hours to take a mock but will take another 2 hours to analyse the mocks. We have created a flowchart which will help you know where you stand and how much improvement you need in every section. Analysis should include your attempted, non-attempted questions. Silly mistakes and guess work attempts. Improve your weaker area: Video link: http://cetking.com/download-zone/how-to-improveweaker-section/ Shortcuts and strategies If you are good in one area say quant or DI then dont be content with that. Strive for something better than that. Try to find strategies and shortcuts for those sections. Once you are revising the basics you will find easier ways to solve the questions. This will help you increase your speed, improve your accuracy and reduce time per question. Do collective studies with your friends and exchange ideas and shortcuts with each other. If you have 5 shortcuts and your friend has 5 shortcuts.. Suddenly you will see that together you have 10 shortcuts. Try Shortcut and strategies in these videos: http://www.facebook.com/ravgun?sk=photos If you are unable to find shortcuts or struggling with any area then join our CMATking workshops. In this workshop we will help you solve: DI without pen! Quant without formulas RC in half them time.

Tips for online exam
by toppers who have taken Online exams

I always used to underline things while doing RC, highlighting option in the online version of the exam really helped me in RC. Do try to have a nice sleep night before your test, one really feels sleepy sitting 2 hrs doing nothing in front of PC, before the test begins. Relax and dont get bogged down by tech glitches , for e.g. after my screen went blank.. The paper restarted from the point I had left same minute and the same question I was attempting. So if such a thing happens with you, dont worry. I felt I mismanaged time while shuttling between sections so could not attempt more number of questions. Therefore stick to fewer movements between the questions. Do not leave any topic. We got 4-5 geometry questions unlike previous slots. So it can change dynamics of the game Once Test has started Keep the KEYBAORD away as you dont need it as by mistake the enter button on the lower right hand corner can be pressed and the highlighted thing will take it as click thats what happened with me but it did not cause any harm Just Keep your FOCUS on screen It was little hard for me to concentrate during the last 15 mins dont know why but still i could get my FOCUS back Make good use of review button on the screen you dont have to wait for the entire 1.5 hrs. In front of computer and feel sleepy all the time. I came in late so was called in a little late. Went to the rest room a couple of times just to waste some time, and in no time started the exam felt energetic. Though i reach well in time 8AM, i enter in test lab around 9:30. I kept waiting in waiting hall until all others were done with their biometric process. So no wait for long time before starting the test. Dont rush to lab very early, everyone was able to start only after 10 oclock.
