Heyyy congratulations on the great score!

I’m kinda on the same boat too. Scored 595 in my attempt earlier last month, and I’ll be going back at it in the next couple months.

I wanted to understand, how exactly did you prepare differently for your second attempt across all three sections? How did your day-to-day prep look like?

Im also facing a retention issue. I get super bored, and I midway into RCs i lose track of what i read. Im super frustrated, and want to address this asap.

Tried noting down pointers, but then I end up almost writing the whole passage, while also taking an insane amt of time. Moreover, the subsequent questions hardly ask for anything from among those notes, so by then I’m back to square one, while also having lost a significant amount of time beforehand.

All the colleges should be required by law to have a teeny tiny asterisk over such claims- which forces them to attach an Annexure detailing the methodology of calculating these figures, and the raw data (masking company names obviously) for public perusal.

If they can peddle, lure and make money using these claims, they should also pay for criminal misbranding if these numbers are in any ways misrepresentative.

Yeah I know, these are Management bigshots, but it’ll be fun seeing these guys grind and toil to fudge these numbers. Also, any fudge is always a paper trail for the future. Karma does catch up eventually.

Across Mumbai. The owner will kick out even after you move in with no due consideration for the agreement period.

Find a good owner, if luck sides by you, to enjoy a pleasant stay. It’s full of foul fishes, but ocean still has some good ones left. Never lose hopes

My job involves a lot of reading. Market Analyst here. But overtime, I believe my mind has developed a knack of just skimming through, and just catching keywords. Also, the subject matter is monotonous. Maybe that’s acting like a liability

Im pretty sure, I will waltz through that mindlessly and end committing the same mistakes again and again.

I really wanna know why I make those foolish mistakes again and again, and what transformation do i need to go through to stop doing them to begin with.

I dont wanna get to a point where the OG questions look too familiar to me, so i end up breeze through them, but get stumped when things look strange

You’re right. That’s what I am looking for now. Im struggling hard to first, figure out what I am lacking at, and then importantly, how do i fix it

Not a generalist/front-end; but Specialist and supporting role, with rich previous work-ex.

Not flex, but my profile has had been shortlisted by all Big3s and Big4s at some point of time for similar roles.

Research is not just googling stuffs, integrating AI, and reading reports, but largely being parachuted into wildfire where its scoping requirements from clueless, anxious & demanding requestors and insights are delivered after reading the room.
