List of Topics
Are you still searching the source where you can find tests to practice? If yes, then you have once again come to the right place. Yesterday, I came across the site of TCYonline where you can register it for free and chose the topic of test which you want to give. All you have to do is register for free. List of topics is beside this text.
Problem: You can select only two topics from the list.
Solution: You can make multiple accounts. I haven’t tried it but I’m sure they won’t caught you. Only thing is you would require more than one email account and with so many email providers; I don’t think it’s not an issue.
You can also refer this to your younger cousins who are in school or preparing for any other competitive exams as “Nishkaam Seva” is what our “Bhagwat Gita” teaches. It will also help you improving your PR (public relation) skills.
MBA Section
Here is the screen shot of MBA Section which is divided in various sections. Note: Many tests are uploaded by users of this site but I don’t think they made it on their own. It’s just that they have it and are helping other users.

JMET & TISS CLASH
Many of you are still searching whether you can fill both TISS and JMET. Me too was searching before this post. But I have got my answer.
“Both are in morning: TISS most probably starts at 11 while JMET at 10. Maybe slightly wrong but what is confirmed is that you can give only one; timings are definitely clashing”

So it’s you who has to decide which exam to give.
An illusion is a misleading perception, usually visual. You see something, but you consistently misjudge its length, shape, motion or direction. To avoid further confusion, illusions are distinctly different fromhallucinations – which involve sensing something that is not actually present. In contrast, illusions deal with stimuli that are actually present, but they are misinterpreted or hard to interpret.
For example, look at the Müller-Lyer illusion shown to the right. Look at the horizontal lines. Typically the top line will be seen as being longer. However, they are both the same length. If you don’t believe me, measure them yourself.
Another illusion involves the Necker cube shown to the left. Are you looking down on a cube from above? Or are you looking up at a cube from below? If you concentrate on the solid dot in the upper left, you will seem to be looking down on the cube. If you concentrate on the open dot in the lower right, it will seem that you are looking up at a cube from underneath it. For most people, as their concentration shifts from dot to dot, the cube seems to “flip-flop” – the front and back sides seem to reverse themselves. For people who are used to seeing things only one way – in this case, usually looking down on a cube – they might find it difficult to get the cube to shift.
“An illusion is a perceptual disturbance,
while a delusion is a belief disturbance.“
On the other hand, a delusion is a deeply held false belief that is maintained – even when other information contradicts the belief. The contradictory information is either ignored completely or discounted in some way. Many prejudices rely on stereotypes that apply to a small minority in a group, but these stereotypes become delusional when they are used to judge everyone in that group. Beside race, religion, sex, ethnic group and nationality, occupational and age groups can develop stereotypes. Very few computer experts are “nerds,” and only a small minority of athletes are “dumb jocks.” Likewise, few teenagers are “delinquents,” and only a small percentage of the elderly are “old fogies.” However, people – who hold strong prejudices against these groups – will ignore the contradictory information and characterize all or most members of the group with these stereotyped labels.

Wall Street Journal Articles
So all CAT aspirants: (T: Tutes, R: Readers)
T. Are you reading Wall Street Journal?
R. What’s that?
T. Most famous financial journal of US.
R. Oh, BTW, I don’t read it.
T. Why?
R. It needs subscription and I am either not earning that much or I am a student. I can’t afford it.
Solution: There is a solution to this problem now. Now you can read all the articles without paying a penny. All you need is an Internet Connection.
If you see that ‘key icon’ next to a story, that means you only read a preview of that article and the full article will become available only after you login. Let’s see how you can bypass this:
The URL of all news stories published on WSJ.com follow a particular pattern:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122176966568653611.html
This URL structure is maintained even when stories move from the front page on to the archives where they become available only to WSJ subscribers.
Now if you like to read the above WSJ story in your browser, just prepend the following text to your story URL:
http://mobile2.wsj.com/device/article.php?mid=&CALL_URL=
Now your new URL would look something like this and this, as you expected, points to full article and not just the preview.
http://mobile2.wsj.com/device/article.php?mid=&CALL_URL=http://www.wsj.com/article/SB122176966568653611.html
The above method should also work for the Asia and Europe editions of Wall Street Journal since they also follow the similar URL structure.
Here’s another working example:
Original (limited) version: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122177625215054207.html
Full Text: http://mobile2.wsj.com/device/article.php?mid=&CALL_URL=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122177625215054207.html
To read about one more way to bypass it, Click Digital Inspiration. This method is not invented by me. I was just checking my feeds of Labnol.org and when I came across this feed, I couldn’t resist myself sharing it with you guys. Those who don’t know about Labnol: It is the technical blog of Amit Agarwal (Yes, an Indian). Not only technical, he shares some interesting issues too.

CAT has always lived up to its expectations of being the most uncertain examination held in India, and come November and all the MBA aspirants in the nation will be set to face the CAT-astrophic storm of 2008. And it’s not always the changing pattern that students face as the demonstration of CAT-astrophy.
For instance, CAT 2007 did not surprise the takers with its pattern, though it’s Quantitative and Verbal sections certainly gave the test takers a hard time.CAT 2007 was characterised by a tough Quantitative section, a lengthier (over 180 words per question) Verbal section and the only life saver in the form of DI section.
The test security was unbeatable with four sets of question papers having answer options jumbled even for the same questions in all the four sets. That is, if your answer in Series 111 for a particular Quant question was Option 4, the answer for the same question in Series 222, 333 and 444 may not be the same (ie Option 4).
This was a proactive step taken by the exam setters because, since CAT 2006, students are getting more than two minutes per question (considering the fact that no one attempts all the questions) increasing the possibility of copying.
To help this year’s test takers crack CAT 2008, experts from TCYonline.com have analysed the last 4 CATs in the deepest possible detail. Let’s analyse the components one by one:
CAT Quantitative Section
This section was the toughest of all. The topic wise break-up of the Quantitative section is as follows:
Once again, the greatest share was of Number theory. Surprisingly, Higher Math occurred second as regards the share in total number of questions. A comparison of the CAT 2007 with the previous 4 CATs (Chart No 2) shows that Number Theory and Geometry are becoming hot favourites of the exam setters. On the other hand the number of Area/Volume questions has fallen drastically since last CAT.
CAT Verbal Section
Though seemed similar from the outset, CAT 2007 verbal was much different from CAT 2006. The return of Grammar; a new creative face of vocabulary under the guise of sentence completion and lengthier Para jumbles as compared to the earlier versions. An overview of CAT 2007 verbal is given below:
As one can see from the pie chart, reading comprehension had a clean sweep over the rest in CAT 2007. This section seemed difficult with the number of RC passages going up from 12 in CAT 2006 to 15 this year and the number of RC questions going down from 15 in CAT 2006 to 12 this year.
Para Jumbles took the RC avatar with long paragraphs in place of sentences as jumbled parts. A careful comparison ofCAT 2007 with the past 4 CATs (Chart No 4) shows that RC is the hot favourite of the verbal exam setters. On the other hand, Para Jumbles appeared as an important ingredient of CAT only after CAT 2004.
CAT DI Section
This was the only scoring section in the CAT 2007. The questions were easier but trickier as compared to CAT 2006. Data Sufficiency appeared in this section after a long absence. But the most important fact is that Logical reasoning is getting more and more preference of the test takers (see Chart No 5). Moreover, it is retaining the trend since CAT 2005.
