From past one month, the most widely discussed topic among CAT aspirants has been “CAT Goes Online”. Every now and then you would come across someone or the other speculating (in fact predictingJ) the online CAT format (including meJ).
At Career Launcher we noticed that following the announcement, uncertainty for the students increased dramatically. After every class, for almost 15 min, students unnecessarily wasted there time debating on the likely changes (actually I enjoy these after class conversationsJ).
In fact the news has been a major distraction. Many students have been left in disarray, as they do not know what the pattern would be like. This has affected their strategies as well as their preparation.
Considering the gravity of the situation, we decided to conduct a workshop for the CAT aspirants. Riding high on the success of my first workshop (only I think soJ), I was asked to take up this challenge as well. (Shall post the details of my first workshop later)
The initial turnout for our workshop was dismal. The first screening had an audience of only 8 students. Thanks to the electronic media and television, the topic was blown out of proportion. This increased the anxiety among the candidates and as a result the number of footfalls to our centre increased dramatically. In a little over 3 weeks this presentation has been run 6 times. Almost 190 students have benefited from it.
As more than a month has passed, since the announcement was made, I think most of you would find the contents of this presentation to be redundant. I still feel that you should go through this presentation at least once (might find something new).
In case you have any updates, feel free to comment.
All the best!
Your post is very good. I am not sure how CAT 09 is going to be managed online. How everyone is going to have test of same difficulty.
ReplyDeleteI hope the exam goes fine and like in the past there is no retest.
Thank you for appreciating my post.
