Mocking August

Month of August is about to end,and yes am aware about my absence on this blog,

A lot of stuff happened this month,and they say : "Season has just begun".
[Seriously dude,who are they,
well no one that's just me.]

The same me who at this point of time in love with Schrodinger's CAT,
not because am a Cat person,fact is am a dog person,but more on that later.

Currently enrolled in following test series :
IMS SimCATs
TIME AimCATs
CL Proc mocks
PT Prac CATs

There is nothing much to discuss about IMS though,they do not deserve a mention,a whole month has gone,and no test so far,c'mon give me a chance to improve on my Ghanchakkar Performance.

I am pretty sure I can do things better,but am done writing about them,they simply do not deserve a mention.

TIME and CL people are simply idiots,no not because their test series ain't good,infact their test series is awesome.But there is something,me and my friends know about,and you here reading this post don't know and that something is what make them idiota.

by the way,btw,i got their whole series at an almost free cost, but that's something comprehensive,and i expect you wont tell these idiots that i got their test series officially at
Rs 100 (CL-original cost Rs 2000) and
Rs 300 (TIME-original cost Rs 2500).
Totally nailing it.


PT Pracs are good,but they dont have that much of competition,though they are offering the whole test series at a take away price of Rs 99. (PS :no fraud here),but only some 13k to 14k people in whole of India take these tests.Even if some people say that the battle field in PT test is not competitive enough,but who cares when you get all the 10 tests for just Rs 99, and what adds most to the value is the online CBT test practice one gets.
(off topic: by the way,the Receptionist at the PT desk is kind of cute.)

In all the month had me giving 1 CL mock (twice), 2 TIME AimCATs (1015&1014), 2 PT Pracs.

following my report of the August in the next post,
which will be followed by another post (i hope so), before we see September.

And they say...

CL Proc Mock 3 : Regained lost touch

All thanks to Career Launcher,for coming up with an online test when i needed it the most.

The results are nowhere at par with the requisite score one must have in order to hope for any kind of scope into getting into one of the seven IIMs,but am still happy with my performance,given the fact,how i had screwed up my previous IMS mock (SimCAT 1) with my senseless experimentation.

But that does not mean the era of experimentation has gone forever,
the next Mock will see me experimenting even more than what i did in Sim1.

Here is what the CL Percentile Predictor says :

Not Happy - Not Sad,
quite like in an ambivalent state,
planning to make the things further accelerate,

Not a time to pretend as the best or worst,
With thrust and thrust,
Time to quench the deeper thirst.

-- Yours Truly

SimCAT 1: Ghanchakkar Perfrormance

PS : I am partially drunk while writing this post,high on Coca Cola .

PPS : No Cheers !!

Paper Analysis:-
The easiest VA and DI sets i would have ever seen,and i still managed to screw up both.
(ab to hadd hi ho gyi yaar)

QA was one of the most difficult ones,IMS guys were able to make it more difficult than TIME,

and that is i think one of the reasons i was able to clear the cut-off in it

How i wasted and will always be embarrassed of those 150 minutes ?

Well long story short,started the paper very happily,
thinking that i have been able to crack the algorithm to clear all the sectional cut-offs.
But as they say : "dude its CAT ! "
who are "they" ?

But Khuda ko kuch aur hi manzoor tha,
pata nahi shayad wo din hi manhoos tha.

How everything went into pieces:
Started off with RC solved one RC and attempted a couple of VA questions,
obviously its not about solving large no. of questions,but about accuracy even if the attempts are very low.

(What i learned : This is Not always true!...LoL)
Now 25 mins were over and i felt that i should better head off to DI,

During the entire paper i thought that DI was difficult and again Low attempts - High Accuracy shall rule,
"Sob !"
Now 75 mins had gone,it was Half Time.
Time to go for the kill- Quants ! (My Strongest Section, always true)
I will always be thankful to IMS for making such a difficult Quants section,
Automatically it was again like: Low attempts - High Accuracy shall rule,
Coz if it would have been easier then i would have to solve many more questions,
which i did not,had to just attempted 8 simple questions.
It was all about looking for Sitters.
(all my friends did more questions,and they payed ..mu ha ha ha ha!!)

Now approx. 20 minutes left and still VA left to solve,now under such circumstances no one would consider solving RC as an option,hence had to solve Verbal in less time and accuracy gone for a toss !!

Scores : "Not Worth Sharing"
%ile : "Jane bhi do yaron,Jaan kar kya karoge"

Way Ahead :

Now after this kind of performance i needed something to satisfy myself,
And the answer lied in AimCAT 1016 by TIME,which coincidentally was on the very same day,
I took the question paper from one of my friend and solved it with a new algorithm :
"Sticking to the Basics - No time for experimentation"

Well this was the same algorithm which i applied in SimCAT Zero and got 95.12 %ile.
Now the results of the 1016 is out and i have managed to clear all the cut-offs,but can't be confident enough,took the test at Home and not under some official Proctored environment,obviously the scores will vary under different circumstances.
(Environmental conditions like Temperature,Atmospheric pressure and humidity also play a crucial role,
Mind It !)
