90 Days to CAT 2015 – A free short Course
Dreaming of MBA : Its time to Believe in yourself, Shred Myths
\/
We decided to start “90 days to CAT”, a kind of free short course where we will be discussing with you how to plan and keep the pace of your preparation till the CAT Exam. We will also discuss about how you should study all the 4 sections QA, VA, LR, DI so that you can complete it well in time.
The most important thing during this discussion would be the uniformity of material which we are discussing about. The most important question asked by the aspirants is which course material/book s(he) should follow. Well in my view there is a very small and fixed syllabus which is asked in various CAT/MBA exams.So you can follow any reputed course material/book which you have. Whether it is TIME/CL/IMS/ENDEAVOUR/TMH/ARIHANT/…. it doesn’t matter.
What matters is your plan and preparation level and how many questions of different range you solved. The completion of full syllabus with the different patterns of questions asked is very important. The 2nd important thing is keeping your morale high during the preparation.
\/
How we will do it ?
To maintain the uniformity of syllabus discussion, we recommend you to buy books as specified below for CAT. We will provide weekly syllabus plan for you to follow from time to time, so that you can keep a check on the pace of your preparation. We will also post concepts of different topics for revision on WebMaggu. Since we have less time we would not be able to make short notes of whole syllabus but we will try to cover most of the important ones. We will guide you how to solve the books proposed below in total so that you can easily achieve the target of 99th+ percentile.
Important questions from time to time from different syllabus will be posted by @amita to keep a check on your preparation.

Thanks for your guidance.
I am also a new comer and didn`t understand what to study and to what extent . I was confused but now I am very clear.
