CAT : Common Admission Test.

One of the most toughest Management entrance examination. But the most appealing entrance exam for the youth too.

This exam is conducted by the Top B-Schools of the world they are Indian Institute of Management.
These IIM's will make this exam such tough only because to filter out the max slow brains.

Only the fastest intensity brains will get selected in this entrance exam.
The only goal for most of the aspirants are IIM's which have only limited seats. so the competition will be super tough.

A candidate like you should prepare well for this competitive exam.
The parts that you need to concentrate in preparation for CAT Entrance exam is
->Word Power.
->Grammar Skills
->Communication skills.
->Logical thinking skills.
->Trouble shooting skills : not a computer one but humans problems.
->Convincing skills.
->Leadership Qualities.

etc. etc.,
all the graduates having above skills will get though CAT Examination .
all may not be perfect in all the above skills.
but my suggestion to you is to find out the lacking skills in you and increase them simultaneously and vice versa.

Its all in your hands now.
all the very best for your confident attempt.

One more thing is do not hesitate to take coaching from a good coaching institute because it is the very tough exam. without proper guidance most of the people will waste time in useless attempts.
