MAT preparation calls for carefully devised strategy, which helps you cover maximum topics and score high to get call from good management institutes across the country. Almost all MBA institutes will accept February MAT 2014 scores.

Since the aspect of negative marking of 25 percent exists, you need to be watchful and wise, and formulate a strategy to qualify the cut offs for each section. Hence, a decent level of preparation would suffice for this objective.

To get a better result, it is good and advisable to start preparing as early as possible. By reading daily newspapers and magazines you can improve your vocabulary in English. Also by watching English news channels, various usage of a particular word can be noted down.

Once you identify a mistake, you must certainly ensure that you understand the concept thoroughly. In addition to this, you must prepare a timetable to help you allocate your time in the best way possible.

During the test, you may keep following tips top of mind:

• Do not get bogged down with complicated or lengthy calculations

• Use guessing intelligently and deploy the Selection by elimination method

• Learn how to work backwards, i.e., plugging the most attractive option in the question and see if it makes sense

• Convert quantities freely like ¼ is nothing but 25% of any given quantity.

• In questions that ask you to select a valid conclusion, always choose the one conclusion that must definitely follow from the information you are given and vice-versa.

• Pay special attention to words like “all,” “some,” or “none” when you read the factual information each question gives you

• Pay attention to negative prefixes also, such as non-, un-, or dis-

• Pay special attention to negative numbers when they are used in some questions

• Pay close attention to the word “ONLY” and to the phrase “IF AND ONLY IF”

• Don’t stick to one question for too long

• Aim to answer as many questions as you can
