Smart CAT Cracker

Smart CAT Cracker is a tailor-made product for students who want to imbibe the ins and outs of aptitude testing
and become adept at applying shortcuts and using options to arrive at answers quickly. The module teaches
methods of attempting questions while at the same time giving the student a rerun through key concepts. In
addition to the conventional methods, students will learn how to crack questions with aptitude. It helps a student
to improve his speed and, consequently, his performance across various management entrance exams such as
CAT, XAT, IIFT, CMAT, SNAP, NMAT etc.
Smart CAT Cracker consists of 240 sessions, divided into 5 modules, which capture the teachings of prominent
experts of the field of aptitude testing. Each virtual class has an eclectic mix of 4-6 questions culled from past
iterations of management entrance exams, as well as questions made from scratch by our own in-house experts
and content team. The meticulously selected questions in these modules give a flavour of actual exam questions.
The sessions have been planned in such a way so as to cater to the specific requirements of students seeking to
improve their existent knowledge even when under severe time constraints. Those who are taking another
attempt at MBA entrance exams to improve upon their past performances will also benefit tremendously from
these classes and post-exercises. A student can review the session any number of times and at any time suitable
to him. The sessions have to be taken within a time frame to ensure discipline. These students generally would
not want to waste their time in traveling and attending a large number of sessions, which cover those
fundamentals that are already known to them.
To reinforce the concepts you have just learned, we have supplied post-lesson exercises to give you ample
practice for similar kinds of questions. It is essential to go through each of the questions in the post-exercises
diligently so that you identify which concepts you need to revise. Having tested your learning, revisit the session
and cement your concepts.
