My First Tryst With TIME AIM-CAT

My first tryst with TIME AIM CAT ended in bad taste .I won't present any excuses for my pathetic show taking the whole blame on myself( sparing even the question paper).This had to happen .And surely it did. I had a certain feeling of guilt at the end of the paper not because i had put up a worst performance but because i realized that i had wasted a hell lot of time.In pursuit of CAT i had joined TIME more than a year in my hand just to give myself the required push.Just before joining the coaching i was high on spirits but soon i lost sight of my goal. Just joining it isn't enough .You have to maintain the requisite tempo all throughout your preparation .That didn't actually happened in real sense. Well it wasn't that i was not attending the classes but then i attend my classes in my college too . The extra effort which was required that moment was lacking in preparation .I knew about my weaknesses and how to rectify them but the execution wasn't happening. Actually i got serious (somehow finally) about my preparation just after my fifth sem exams and since then i am preparing (i believe) in right earnest .But then too despite being aware of my weak points i wasn't undertaking any remedial measures .I was expecting a "fiasco" in AIM-CAT and it did occur .All my hopes and dreams came crashing down in a moment .I wasn't able to solve a single question from DI section beacuse after reading two questions was left crippled .I lost my calm and asked my friend Anand to help me with two questions and he did.This was done in panic just at the fear of my poor marks in DI section. But what's the use of such marks because it accounts for nothing .In english too it was a pathetic show( as usual).Amid such difficult and traumatic times i asked myself "Was it the end?". No came the reply. But then You need to realize sooner or lest you bear the consequences . The positive aspect of mine giving the exams will be immense. Such exams ask you serious questions about ur preparation which u need to answer .I have got mine and know how to tackle it . It's not the time to repent on what u have done .Rather it is the time to pull up ur shocks and move on with ur dreams .The next AIM-CAT is somewhere in may and i have got ample time to showcase that i have got what it requires to Bell the CAT.
