How to spot the easier questions during CAT?

Monday, November 3, 2008

As the general advice is to do the easy questions, students tend to frantically search for easy questions in the paper. If you too are doing it, chances are that you probably will actually miss a lot of questions that are easy. We surely cannot spot all the easy questions by just glancing through the paper and attempting what looks to be easy.

A more effective approach would be to read the problem one by one from the start of the section. After you read and understand a problem, you decide if you think the time you spend on this problem will quickly give you results. If you can’t spot how to do it soon enough, go to the next question.

This way, you let questions come to you and you decide what to attempt and what not to. At the same time, you need to ensure that you go at a steady pace, which will ensure that you read all the questions. This way, you will not miss any easy questions.

When i attended my first MAT exam i also do the same... The truth is that their was a lot of Questions that i know the answer but because of my carelessness and nervousness i was not able to write the exam properly..
I think by doing previous Question Papers is the only solution for it..
