The much awaited CAT results were finally declared yesterday.Though,I was very sure that I was not going to get a good score(was not in my senses while writing the exam),the result was a surprise and it brought me to the same position of ''so near and yet so far''.Why can't I be on the other side of the threshold.CAT has gone the way of FMS and XAT.I have been very consistent at missing the calls after reaching very close to them.I just wish that GOD had given me some sleep the day before CAT.Those QA and DI sitters which I missed after spending a lot of time on 'em are haunting me now.VA was a pleasant surprise though.All in all,not a very good season with IIFT being the lone call which is unlikely to turn into a convert.MDI-G may also consider me if they take pity on me but IIMs are out of question.I look to take forward the positives from this year and come back stronger next year(only 9 months to go!!)
I don't know whether CAT requires preparation or not.Till now,it was an aptitude test for me,but hey aptitude is also developed over a period of time.Nobody is born with it and it can be improved with practice,just like anything else.
I have been a lazy chap all through and I think that is the biggest deterrent in the path of success.I'll try and change that first.
Now,coming back to CAT,I'll give lrdi(my nemesis in all the exams this year) my best what come may.I know that I can turn it into my strength and would definitely work towards it with sincerity.I'll take the AIMCATs seriously this year and would analyse them religiously.I know that I have it in me to make it.I just need to listen to my inner self,be true to myself and all shall be fine.2010 is going to be my year.
