so important to pay special attention to these reading comprehension
part. As we all know that the verbal section in CAT or any other exam for
that matter is divided into both reading comprehension and verbal
ability. But over the years changes have been observed in the pattern.

think if he is performing well in verbal section, he has good
communication skills. Friend’s communication is all very different
scenarios. Take case of World champion speakers- they are educated but
they are not topper’s in their time in their schools or college.
Communication is an art which we have to learn through others’
experience yes friends & that Vega forgot at that moment. See what
happened she cleared FMS written two times but she was out of the
league in group discussion & personal interview. Lot of students assume
that three months are enough after written exam what we get for GD/PI
prep and they think that they will going to get every help by coaching
institutes what they require for interview. Friends it’s a long process of
transforming oneself into a personality who when speaks others stare
and keeps quite for that time. If this happens then assume that you have
learned the art of saying something worthwhile. So I thought that I must
share this secret which has transformed million’s of life & can benefit you
all also & which has started working for Vega also. Yes my dear students

Its a renowned fact that English is a must thing to know these days,
whether you are a student, businessman, housewife or even a call centre
employee, it’s a necessity that you know this language. Although it’s
important for one and all in these times but for the students, who
prepare for various competitions and entrances it’s a requirement of an
utmost importance. more than often it happens this way , that the
graduates preparing for various competitions think they know English ,
and they are as good in it as they are in their mother tongue, because
they speak English slang , while their college days all the time and here’s
where they make the first mistake. The English that we speak , in our
daily lives can’t even be compared to the English that is required to crack
any competitive examination, like cracking for IIM’s , and other MBA
entrances.
For these exams, it is very necessary that you a tight grip at vocabulary,
so if you are thinking of cracking any MBA entrance examination, then
you should go through this article further, this would help you improve
your English only within few days that would largely help you in cracking
your exam. The first thing you should start with, should be reading. All
the magazines that you always put aside just after flipping through few
pages and going over glossy pictures, now is the time that you do a little
more than that. Read as much as you can. It can be anything of your
interest, but reading randomly wouldn’t help, while reading always keep
a pencil in your hand and mark the hard words that you don’t know the
meaning of, and those words which you know but you find hard to recall

4
MBAtutes.com PERSONAL NEWS FOR YOU 12 August 2009

their meaning. If you will do this continuously for few days you will find
yourself with many words, out of these, interestingly you will find that
many of them would be similar. Now what you are supposed to do, when PREPARE FOR MBA
you have found these similar words is, create “roots”. “R o o t s ” will be
those words which would sound kind of similar, and when you will X - Factor - 5
memorise them simultaneously, it would become quite easy to recall JUL 31, 2009 11:59A.M.
them at the time of examination. For instance, the words “cling” and
“cliff”, sound similar cliff means a high steep face of rock, while cling
means to attach to, this way whenever you will come across the word cliff
or cling you would automatically remember the other, hence this way
you learn two words each time and recalling them becomes even easier.
When we talk of reading , it’s ok for starters , who are are not use to to
reading , that they pick up with anything , that they get their hands on,
but for those who are seriously looking forward to crack the exam, its
very necessary that they read the editorial page of the news paper. As a
tip, its suggested that “THE HINDU“, by far, produces best editorial page
as it consists of just information without unnecessary details. Also one
should go for the “e-paper”, as its online, it now adds an edge to your
preparation, because if you are use to reading on your computer screen ,
your reading pace would improve which would help you during your
exam, this is especially important when the CAT has become online
exam, and others are soon to follow the same. It is very important that
you have a good reading pace, because how you perform in exam is a
latter thing, first of all its important how much you attempt it, and it
would be only possible when your reading pace would be good enough.
For this , after you get yourself use to , to reading, you should set time Friends X – Factor is on its final phase. After this you all will be getting
limits for yourself. Set up a timer , and try to finish reading in that last article, which will be based on how to improve your personality and
particular time. This will highly help you improve your reading. communication skills.

The technology has made learning even more easier than ever, and
students preparing for MBA should make the most out of it. Apart from
reading the online newspapers, one should also use DVD’s and CD’S to
improve the pronunciations and understanding of English. There are
various English tests available online that keeps student updated about
the status of their preparation by which they get to know where they
stand. One of the sites that may prove useful for students is
magportal.com. And for newspaper you can refer to nytimes.com, TOI e-
paper
A lot more can be done to improve this language, besides the few tips
given above, but most importantly it is necessary that you develop an
interest for the language. As without interest it is almost impossible to
learn anything, no matter how desperately you want to learn it.

One thing until now I have noticed that you all have neither asked us any
queries nor gave any suggestion. Do I assume that you all have imbibed
the skills which we were talking in the past? Ifyes then is the final skill
which is very important for your preparation.
Lets see how, when two days back I was talking to IIM – A alumni Ritesh
who had passed out in year 2008. As per normal strategy we used to
question them what they think is better and what they had done different
to bell CAT, but this time I conversed with him that when I used to
prepare for Online CAT, my mode of strategy was something like equal
time to all subjects. Suddenly he replied no Bhuvanesh you adopted
approach which normal students think. My friends if you want to be in
different league you have to different from others. Shiv Khera said
“Win n e rs d o n ’t d o d iffe re n t t h in g s t h e y d o t h in g s d iffe re n t ly ”. I
was charged yes man I am going to get my next X – factor and that too
one of the important which is directly related to preparation. At this
moment of time students need something worthwhile to adopt. Friends
he named this strategy “L in e a r A p p ro a c h ”. He told me that today also
I used to teach some students & you know how I ask them to prepare. I
said how I can know; you just started telling your unique strategy. He
replied you have good sense of humor. Ritesh jokes apart let’s come to
serious business. I ask them to become mad after one thing. I don’t ask
them that give equal time like most of the coaching institutes say. For
example I asked my students to give only 15 days for DI preparation. I
was astonished; we give whole one year with little time on a daily basis

5
MBAtutes.com PERSONAL NEWS FOR YOU
for DI, but at the end of the day we aren’t able to get competitive scores
in DI. He asked try out, I said practice 10 sets of DI for 15 days. Then you
must have practiced 150 sets by that time and pick any paper for DI and
check whether you are still able to clear the cut offs or not. I got his
method, if you are running exhausted so much in a particular technique
that even you don’t have to revise that particular technique again. Same
for the Quant or Verbal section if you fear No system/Geometry practice
No system/ Geometry for 5 to 10 days. Do you think practicing these
topics for 5 to 10 days are you going to leave any good concept or
question in the market. No simply because allotted time is more than
that & you will going to achieve best state what you people can never
think off. Same in the verbal if you fear Para jumbles or FIB’s then
practice them for 5 to 10 days. After practicing them for couple of days
you can cover at least 500 Q’s. Still you think you need more practice.
Yes friends after that you also don’t need any test series also to compare
yourself with others. If you think you have done your homework with
honesty then you will come out with flying colors.
Friends don’t forget to use lin e a r a p p ro a c h , see in 15 days we can
cover 1/3rd course of CAT and only two sections to go and what do you
think how much time still you need. Two months more or 3. Those have
started their preparation just now, do not have to panic they have good
time to bell one of the easiest exam. Hats off to Ritesh who has given
good strategy to follow at the moment of heat & especially for students
who are worrying so much.
So friends don’t forget to read last article for X – Factor next week which
can actually topple your personality upside down & will make you
worthwile to speak in front of crowd. Do give your valuable suggestions
in the form of comment so that we can know whether we’ve been able to
fulfill your needs or not.

JUL 29, 2009 03:30P.M.
Hi all.
I am back once again. And keeping fingers crossed that nothing goes
wrong this time & I keep writing regularly, now on. Please pray to god.
Hope you understood already what I am going to talk about. We all know
CAT is going to be an online exam this year. How much successful an
exam it will be, I will tell you that on 8th December. Successful in terms
of the smoothness in exam being conducted.
Anyways, what shall we prepare and how shall we prepare.
Let’s understand one thing; whether it be an online exam or it be a paper
based exam, for sure it checks certain qualities in an examinee. These
include managing time, keeping nerves cool under pressure,
visualization capabilities (which are checked through a particular set of
questions), reading between the lines, looking beyond the obvious,
strategy formulation and using smart approaches, optimistic nature,
tough mindedness etc.
And believe it or not these are the qualities which are checked and may
be some more. Believe it Maths and English are just the means to achieve
the end. They are not the end.
Now, Lets understand some things. When you will be writing an online
exam you will not have an option of circling the relevant information in
the paper, that’s one. Two, you will not be having the facility of crossing
the options which you think are for sure wrong. Three, though you will
MBAtutes.com PERSONAL NEWS FOR YOU 12 August 2009

be allowed to move forward and backwards(at least I feel so) still its not good boost up to you when you will actually start solving the questions

a toss. Four, in RC area you are in a habit of underlining a lot, which you you will get a better hang of RC then what you use to get.
will not be able to do in an online test. Etc etc.
This much only for today.
The good part is that you will be allowed to use some plain papers as
rough sheets(that’s again my thought. How many papers they will allow I I have a request. If you guys can tell me the topic on which you want me
will tell you on 8th December). Now here comes the rescue strategy. I to write next, that will be a great help, as most of my time goes in

mouth of Shashank what he has done next year to be part of those lucky
1700’s. He told me that when you do something from your heart you
become emotional and you forget to find your weakness. Actually I
thought for a while & said in my mind yes he is right. He told me that
this year I took lots of mock but I started finding those things which were
always on negative part of my score. Lets think like this he took four
mocks and he found that in every mock he is getting his Para jumbles
wrong. So for next four days he practiced Para jumbles so much with
concepts that his weakness became his strength. That became his habit
for every subject like if he founds that he is not performing well in
geometry then he practiced geometry so much for next couple of days
that his geometry became his strength. Friends he told me that like this

X - Factor - 3

Hi Friends,
When I spoke to Rahul (IIM-B batch of 2010), he said he never was keen
on doing MBA. MBA was one of the options he had kept in mind but it
was not all.
He said, probably what worked for him was the attitude that his teacher
(VM) inculcated in him. And this attitude was “MBA is not the end of the
road’. It’s just a means to achieve the end. And end is where we (I, in my
case) see ourselves some 20/30 years down the line.
He said, he wanted to do MBA only because it was like a Rajdhani train
for him, that could have paced up what he wanted to do. But then MBA
was not the only way. He said even if he would not have got into IIMB,
then also he knew that he would have been working on the path to his
ultimate goal.
When I asked him, what his ultimate goal was, he replied ‘action speaks
louder then words’. He said, I don’t want to tell it now and later give you
a chance to ask ‘What happened to your dream’. He said he rather want
to tell it to everyone once he see some light towards the end of tunnel i.e.
when he will be about to achieve his goal.

Friends, I called VM sir, immediately, after talking to this chap and was
thinking that I have not got enough to right for this X factor. He told me
an interesting story of a friend and batch mate of his student, IIMC batch
of 2004. That fellow, called Malli first of all did not participate in campus
placements at IIMC. Why, because his dream was to conquer 7
mountains of the world on 7 different days of week in 7 different months.
And also to make a world record by doing so in less then 6 months.
(http://iimcal.blogspot.com/)
After talking to V M sir, I googled about this fellow and found that it
was/is indeed true.
I could not get the contacts of this fellow Malli. But then VM sir only told
me that this guy attributes his making this world record to IIMC. He says
that if IIMC would not have been in his life he would not have been able
to do what he did.
After reading about that guy, I was able to relate to what Rahul said
‘MB A is n o t t h e e n d o f t h e ro a d ‘ and it’s just a means to achieve the
end.
My opinion: One should be open to learning’s, whatever comes one’s
way. Plus one should have a dream (Whether one is working on it or not,
but then one should be able to see the dream daily). And then keep
working towards whatever comes your way. Some day, whatever you are
doing will automatically get associated with your dream.
MBAtutes.com PERSONAL NEWS FOR YOU 12 August 2009

So guys all the best. Keep doing what comes your way. Keep enjoying
what you are doing. Just remember that success is standing on the path
you are on. Just that some has to travel a little to get it and some has to
travel a lot to get it. But those who won’t stop traveling, for sure will get
it.

true enough to believe. You know what happened in those 5 minutes?
She asked me have you ever asked your father can I help you out in any
means, which can reduce your work load? or have you ever asked your
mother that can I make your morning pretty? or when was the last time
you have hugged your parents. These were the few questions which she
asked me but they left me in a state of zero. I didn’t have the answer for
any single Q. I remained quiet for a while; then she again said- yes
