Fresh season...fresh hopes

well the season for 2010 officially starts today on a new year(telugu new year)
i am now on a vacation in my home town(vizag),and i did told my parents i will not be coming to vizag any time soon,before the end of exams for 2010
some mistakes i had done last year should not be repeated

(1)too much discussion about CAT/XAT and previous scores(read CAT 2009/XAt 2010)is injurious to preparation,it would either lead to unnecessary anxiety or complacency

(2)should always believe from the core of heart,that i can achieve and i am deserved for the best

(3)give weightage for all th etopics and keep the prep simple,no need to go through all the stupid tough problems posted in pagalguy

(4)complete the basics and practise previous year papers

dry season ..no calls

finally the season-2009 ended today,on a sad note :(
didn't get a call from SP.Jain after scoring 98.46 in XAT(accidentally this is my highest score,even after considering my AIMCATS scores)
ofcourse i am not completely hopeful on this call(seeing the rejects last year,and considering the fact i applied for Finance with IT work experience :) )but neverthless,Rejection or to say mildly refusal hurts
now since 2009 officially came to an end ,its time to buck up and start preparing for the next season,the difference,this time with one year experience in preparing and close to two years work experience ;)

today is UGADHI(telugu new year)
so happy ugadhi to all and hope this new year brings more happiness
need to take some decissions on prep this time(in next post)

what i want to do for the next 200 odd days

yaa 200 odd days because after exactly 220 days i would be taking IIFT.
writing CAT 2009 gave me necesary boost,and its time i should make into one of the best colleges(already am having a experience of 21 months :( )
so decided that i will write IIFT,CAT,XAT,TISS,FMS this year
the main hurdle to cross is the Quant part.even though what ever CAT prep i have done for 2009 is just for quant and finally i did not got any satisfactory marks in that(i never came any where close to quant cut offs during my AIMCATS season)
this time should get a 100% fee waiver from TIME institute :),so should be ready by the time first AIMCAT starts....
quant ,even though i prepared ,but never have done it in a structured way....(never completed all the previous papers)
this time target is not to do tough problems,but to be comfortable in basics and then solve all previous years papers of all the exams
then i can definetely land among the best and one more imp thing is never to take the pressure and never to procrastinate
taking a vacation (going to home town )on march 12th and would be back on march 24th
from April 1st sinciere prep will start and this year i am going to rock

u might be wondering what happened to sp.jains percentile based calls,honestly speaking now i do not have much hopes on it and if it comes i will give my best to convert it
any how sp.jain second list will come on march 15th...once it comes i will update the status

Finally CAT results are Out

After a looooooooooooooooooooooooong wait CAT results are out.
CAT is supposed to be the biggest exam of the season,but this no one is interested in it,
lot of confusion abt how the result might be
and finally prometric came out with psychometric analysis to determine percentiles,the authenticity of which is not made obvious to the public.
but how can they pla with the dreams of 2.2 lakh young indians
IIMs could have been more cautious.being technology savvy is appreciable but before venturing into some thing big(Like CAT)they should have done enough home work
hope they rectify their mistakes by next year

any how my CAT result didn't went that well ,it is 91.72
so its 2010 now :)
