The |aharashtra |8A CET, held on 25
th
February 2007 dId not offer bIg surprIses to the students. The
pattern was quIte sImIlar to that of 2006 CET, though the dIffIculty level was slIghtly hIgher. Df course
there were new types of questIons In thIs year's paper, but thanks to PreCETs, Career Forum students
were not caught unawares.

CET tests the student's speed and accuracy whIch Is dIffIcult to maIntaIn consIstently throughout the
paper. Here smart guessIng and patIence Is the key to score hIgher. A serIes of 7 PreCETs and CETFacer
(a set of 12 take home tests) devIsed by Career Forum prepared the students to answer more questIons
In less tIme more accurately.
