My Love with CAT
So, finally CAT is at the door 
This is my 3rd successive attempt at cracking CAT.. yeh yeh.. I am becoming a veteran in writing India’s biggest management exam..
1st attempt:
Was in final year of college. Not at all interested.. Just gave the exam for the heck of it. Actually, didn’t even knew, what kind of questions they ask…. Result: a 92.53% percentile
The result really motivated me to give CAT another shot..
2nd attempt:
After graduating, I had made up my mind to sit at home to study for CAT, instead of taking up a job. But, destiny had something else written for me. Took the Infy exam, just ‘coz my friends were also writing it.. And, whooah, I got a call Studying while working is little tough… that I came to know when I reached Bangalore… But, still I managed to take 0.5-1 hrs each day to realize my dream. Went to the test center with ‘I can crack it’ approach.. and I think I really cracked it.. got a score of about 78-79. That would have easily fetched me a 99.3+ percentile. But, no.. maybe i wasn’t destined for the IIMs then.. Some @@#$ing !@#hole leaked the paper out, and all my efforts went down the drain… IIM’s anounced that there will be a Re-CAT in Feb.. But, those 3 months were among the worst periods of my life.. Work was hectic, was going through some family problems as well… End Result.. a 98.71 percentile with a very low percentile in quant, and zero calls.. not even from MDI & SPJain 
3rd Attempt:
My love with CAT continues… Sunday is the D-Day… But, I really believe that this time it will be a postive result for me.. if I stay cool during the course of the exam.. Wish me luck dudes! I need loads and loads of good wishes!

The CAT can get really jumpy at times. Hope you had it well under your foot.
