Yep... It worked!

I expected around 97 percentile in previous week's aimcat, but i had to adjust with a 94 (damn my pathetic va score). So I made some amends on how i should approach the va section and implemented them in this week's aimcat and it worked. Not only I just cleared the cutoff in va, it landed me in the much coveted 99+ league. Just before the exam, I had no expectations, only idea was to implement the inter-sectional strategy in va, and be my usual self in DI and quant. So I started the paper with va and attempted almost 8 questions in the starting 10 mins itself. I was not sure whether they were correct or wrong, but only thing I can say is that I had given my best shot and they were my confident attempts. This has helped to ease down the pressure off me and this way I could attempt rc questions with more confidence and concentration. Majority share of my marks in language section came from the rc's with 7 correct out of 9. In total, 16 questions were attempted out of which 10 were correct giving me a score of 34. Now I think I should find a way to increase my attempts. Until now what I was doing if i got stuck in between 2 options of a question in Language section was that I spend more time in deciding the answer. But I feel that the art of leaving the questions, which is very important in quant and di sections, should also be implemented in language section because even after spending much time in deciding the answer, most of the time it turns out to be wrong for me. So, it is better to quickly move to another question after marking both these options in the question paper. In the end when I mark the answers in the OMR, I should give a final shot in deciding the answer between the two marked choices in less than 10 seconds for a question. This way I think I should be able to attempt more number of questions in language section.

Preparation point of view, I have been doing DI sets from pagalguy thread and regularly doing some puzzles from George Summers book. Also I am hanging out in the va thread where I'm getting hold of very useful information. And I'm planning to read articles from diverse topics, the links of which are provided by a user in the rc thread. Coming to quant, of late I feel that I'm totally ignoring it. Although I'm doing well and it's my strength, I think it needs more practice to do more questions by increasing my speed. So it's time to hang in quant thread too.

Getting a 99+ needs real hard work. But maintaining it requires even more. This is the time to consolidate my confidence. Go bangaram go!!!
