How to have a useful day??

1) Morning exercise 🏃🏻activates Brain Derived Neutrophic Factor and increases seratonin and dopamine 🧪 levels. It sets your brain up for focus and reduces stress.📝

2) Create a plan ✍🏼for the day. Make sure you are clear on what you need to achieve for the day. Prioritize your tasks from most important to least important and start at the top.

3) 🗒🎵👨🏻‍💻🎯Read, write, journal, listen to a podcast or watch a documentary. Gain insights first thing in the morning while your brain is fresh and your neurons 🧬 are firing. Learning early in the morning stimulates the brain 🎉 and gives you the ability to retain more information.

Choose one of these to do every morning and watch your life change in ways you cannot even imagine

One of my all time favourite videos. Just brings a smile to the face

As a fellow traveller, who was in your shoes not so long ago - Well that's a lie, it was real long ago - I know what you are going through!

You may feel that this is a make or break time, and you are right to an extent, but not in the terms that you think. Yes, it is the final three weeks before the CAT exam. Yes, this period can make a substantial difference in your performance.

But NO, this exam and these three weeks don't decide you worth. YOU DO!

Instead of ruminating on the past, focus on approached to optimally utilize this crucial time.

1. Ensure you allocate time for revision, practice tests, and identifying weak areas to strengthen them. A lot of material has been uploaded at https://t.me/+gYOj7lE3qcgzODQ1

2. Refine your RC and Vocab. Practice on a wide variety of material. Read newspaper from https://t.me/QuantSenseiGDPI

3. Practice calculations, and solve a variety of problems to enhance your speed and accuracy

4. Prioritize weak areas but don’t neglect stronger sections. Solve all PYQs shared at https://t.me/c/1972968225/68

5. Keep on revising the formulae for Quant. A help book is uploaded at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/173

6. Prioritise mental health. Read the post uploaded at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/176

Profile of a 100%iler?

Anyone can be a 💯100%iler. There maybe one sitting next to you!

They may not have a 47th chromosome 🧬. They may not have been a topper 🏆 throughout their lives. They are just like you and I. They have their social 🎦media accounts and would have watched a plethora of web series🎬. And they might have continued to remain just ordinary, like the bulk of us.

However, they decided that it was high time to make a change. And they changed themselves. They reimagined themselves.

The real question here is DO YOU WANT AN ADMISSION IN A TOP B SCHOOL AND ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK FOR IT?

A 100 %iler has
1. A plan that needs to be followed diligently 📅
2. A dedication to stick to the plan despite numerous distractions 🎂🎦
3. A confidence to keep the morale up 😁
4. A courage to accept mistakes, rectify and then move on 🥉
5. A willingness to sacrifice and move out of their comfort zone 🎯

Not exactly "Rocket Science" is it? That's because it is not! The only thing between your current situation and your Dream B School is YOU! 🫵🏽

CAT admit cards are out. Download yours from iimcat.ac.in.

All slots are equally good/bad.

What you should do now:

1) Stop worrying and Start practicing

2) Practice mocks in your dedicated slot to get your body habituated.

3) If anyone has got a Center out of their preference list, please plan to reach there a day before.

4) Read all the instructions on the admit card very carefully. There are several important ones.

In case of any query or concern, feel free to get in touch through the discussion group.

Thought of the day

Can we take our pencils or one coloured pen (for ease of writing) to exam? What will be the size of though notebook that they will provide? Can I ask for more than one notebook?

Nopes. And nopes.

They will provide one A5 size notepad containing 16 sheets. You can ask but they don't give any more to you. They clearly mention this at the beginning that no more though work space would be provided.

You cannot carry any stationery item - pen, pencil scale etc - to the centre. They will provide one pen at the beginning which would have to be returned at the end of the test. You will also return the notepad to the invigilator and your ID and name will be written at the front page

Whatever work needs to be done, needs to be managed only in that space.
