scrap - 1 on CAT

Verbal : Sound knowledge ( or lots of luck on the D Day !!) on english grammar / sentence structure. This comes thru voracious reading thru years. With CAT 07, 8 months away I would strongly advocate lots and lots of reading on topics slightly abstract in nature. Hindu sunday edition pull outs can be starter. Focus on sentence structure. Do not waste time on mugging vocab. absolute waste of time instead Read and Read .
Quant & Di : do not waste time on memorising tables. The focus is not on speed but on knowledge and accuracy. For this collect a good lot of Mock cat papers of TIME / IMS etc divide it in to sections depending on topics such as Numbers / Time & speed / geometry you will get this from the index of any CAT prep book. Focus on one topic and work out all the sums in that topic from all papers. Do not time yourself but learn how to solve the problems. Normally the institutes also hand over the solutions so you can learn the way to solve the problems. Work out a time table to complete this by August. Every day spend some time after working out to reflect on what you have learnt.
Overall : You have to be passionate about CAT .
