Quant Shortcuts for CAT 2007by Total Gadha - Sunday, 11 November 2007, 04:23 PM

I have written on this theme before also. But before CAT 2007 happens, I would like to remind all the TGitesabout these methods once again. What is a shortcut? By shortcuts, I do not mean a sudden inspiration or amerratic method which can be applied to only one or two problems. By shortcut I mean a set method, a patternwhich can be repeated again and again. These shortcuts can be learned and applied under pressure also. Thereason to apply these shortcuts is one- getting to answers fast and in an easier way than by actually solving theproblems. I have discussed two basic methods here which I predominantly use:1. Examine the options2. Start small

Woh! Now I know why cut-offs are high! Its more about presence of mind than sheer mechanical aptitude. A friend who got into IIMB last yearrecommended the same thing. Look at the options first and see whether the answer is staring at you even without having to solve it. Great stuff

TG!!

Great!

TG a small request although at inappropriate time,please give us gadhas some gyan on DI too,i mean it is just a thought that comes to mindwhile attempting a set and spending 10 -15 min on it: Should i continue with this one,should i leave,if its cracked then 5 questions!Simply put when to say good bye to it without messing up the entire section.

You really are a Gem!

Thanks for everything

Hi TG,

Nice useful article.

It would be worth mentioning here a few more technics like,

1. If one is good with drawing, s/he may try drawing scaled diagrams for geometry.. N then choose the closest option. Risky but it helps!

2. If the question has variables. then substitute with small nos. like 0 or 1. Then do the same with answer options and then match them..

Cheers & ATB fellas!
