CAT GMAT Resources

Preparation Time

2006-05-18T06:15:00.000-07:00

Another year another CAT and another try, no I don't mean to say that I have given CAT many times or had failed at it and I am trying again and again. I mean to say that I have been waiting for the time when I could feel ready to take up MBA, the moment I said those words many people thought I'll just keep thinking and the right time would never come, but that wasn't the case to be. I feel this is the year when I m really mentally, physically and financially to tackle MBA or CAT both of which have become pretty synonymous among the Indian MBA community.
It's been over a month since I started the preparation obviously I started of with quant or problem solving as referred by most ppl. I started of with
1) Sets and functions and have finished 2) Sequences and Series 3) Number Systems 4) Simple Equations.

have currently moved on to Algebra now. Would keep updating this blog as diary for future reference for CAT enthusiasts.

Get a euro edge, with its 1-year MBA

Are you looking for a shorter, cheaper MBA programme ? Then look to Europe. The continent’s B-schools offer one-year programmes that halve the cost of an MBA. Karan Gupta takes a look “I’D RATHER get into a top university in Europe than go to an average university in the United States. Many European universities ask applicants to take their own exams and hence even with a low GMAT score, I can get into a top-ranked European university,” says Anurag Mathur (name changed), a B-school aspirant. Is Anurag’s plan a sign of changing trends? Are we now beginning to see a shift from America to the European Union ?
