My Meooooooow experience!
As most of you know, I sacrificed myself and went ahead to book the first day slot in CAT such that i could write this blog and help you !! :(
First and fore-most, It was a day-mare or precisely cat-maric experience.
Prometric-NIIT guys sucked on the first day. (NIIT is partner in organizing these tests)
They don't know much. There experience in conducting exams is around the same level as tendulkar's in politics.
_____________________________________________________
Things you need to take to exam center: PHOTO ID, VOUCHER AND (EMAIL) IIM Admit Card.
Anything else, you will be stripped of it. They provide pencils, erasers, rough sheets and timer is also there on screen.
_____________________________________________________
Step1: Go to test center atleast 90 mins before the "appointment time".
Step2:Get yourselves "verified" (Photo-ID take a genuine one, some people got pained and ragged by the cat team. Genuine = PAN card, Driving License, Ration Card, Election card)
Step 3: Stand in line for Photo and biometric entries.
(Remember the Driving License office? -- you will be asked to sit in front of a camera, photo will be taken, then three times right hand finger imprints followed by three times left hand finger imprints)
Step 4: Collect rough sheet, pencil and erasers. And go to your assigned seat.
Step 5: Those guys will do everything, do nothing. They will come enter passwords, and go and come again and enter passwords again. And go again. You can read a "Rules and Regulations Gita - RAR veda" in the mean time. Its a collection of all the regulations from all the tests which a student takes in his lifetime.
Step 6: Exam time! After they finish typing passwords for all, they will announce and ask you to click on "start the exam" button on your screen
Step 7: Click on it.
Step 8: Questions 1-20 --> Quant, Questions 21-40 --> English/Passages, Questions 41-60 --> Data Interpretation
Step 9: You can GO to any question number by clicking "preview" and selecting the corresponding question number. ( :( I CAME TO KNOW THIS AFTER 1 Hour, so did bad in DI)
For Example: If you have attempted enough in quant and english, jump to DI by clicking preview and selecting questions from q41-60 which you haven't answered.
Step 10: Attempt all sections handsomely :)
Step 11: I saved 2-3 mins of your exam time and burnt 200 grams of your nervousness, I deserve a treat if you get through. :)
Happy Meowing.
