Vedic Math Tutorial Part -1

Use the formula ALL FROM 9 AND THE LAST FROM 10 to perform instant subtractions.

• For example 1000 – 357 = 643We simply take each figure in 357 from 9 and the last figure from 10.
  
  So the answer is 1000 – 357 = 643And thats all there is to it!

  This always works for subtractions from numbers consisting of a 1 followed by noughts: 100; 1000; 10,000 etc.

• Similarly 10,000 – 1049 = 8951
   
• For 1000 – 83, in which we have more zeros than figures in the numbers being subtracted, we simply suppose 83 is 083.So 1000 – 83 becomes 1000 – 083 = 917

Hope you find this post usefull, actually this is the time to learn these concepts so that you can get comfortable with these concepts at this point of time itself and when your mock starts, you can get ahead of lacks of people just by using these concepts. Watch out a few more tutorials to come..

AIMCAT 910 results

I was searching a boulder to break my head, this was my reaction when i cheked my scores. I marked some questions incorectly !! i was unable to belive it as since CAT 2006 i hd taken evary possible care at least while marking. Anyways this taught me another aspect and i am sure i wont repeat this mistake again.
My performance was pathetic 87.33%ile, thanks to those 5 wrongly marked question, else i would at least have crossed 92 %ile. Anyways, there is no point in lamenting over spilt milk. This AIMCAT was real breazer for all. TIME has declared the cut offs at 10+, 11+, 14+ for QA, VA, DI respectively. I hope to get some time to analyze my performance at this AIMCAT. Sometimes work sucks every bit of your time.

AIMCAT 0910 Analysis

Yet another AIMCAT, well, before i get lost in the work let me put some analysis of the latest AIMCAT 0910.
PS: this is totally my own perception about the test

QA: This section was not that tough but selection of question was the major role palyer in conquering this section. Some question like 1,8,17,20,21,22,31,32,34,35,46,48 should have attempted. I will put the detailed analysis once i finish the analysis. The cut offs are predicted towards 14-16 for QA section.

AIMCAT 0917 analysis

Another one shot of AIMCAT and the very firts AIMCAT with sub-sections of this season. The test was moreover on the platform of CAT 2005 which had the sub-sections and it has been around 3 years CAT have not used this type, so it was a good experience for everyone of us who is aiming to bell the CAT this year.
Well, Starting with the analysis, as TIME says test was easier than that of CAT 2007 paper.
VA:
With only one easy question, numbered 15, this section was more over of medium level of difficulty. However many and even i myself are victim of this sub-section thing. Section – A was given weightage of only 20% and there were 10 questions. One must have thought to solve some question of this section and then go to Sec- B but as i said, at least i was accustomed to give equal time to every section, a messed up was obvious. But im ust say it is good to do all mistakes in Mocks.
Question wiht mediaum difficulty were 1,3,5,6,8,11,16,17,18,19,2,22,23,24,26and 29 and resr were difficult. Cut offs are expected around 30 marks

AIMCAT 0918 Results Out !!

AIMCAT 0918 results are out now, first of all soory for posting after so many days as had benn busy in projects. Well, this AIMCAT was a real opprtunity to test where you preparations are heading. Questions were easy, YES easy !! even though it wont appear easy at first hand.
In the QA section, there were minimum 8 question those one could have solved if one’s concentration during the test was highest. The cut off for this section is at 21 marks (5 questions). Few question i want to discuss out here.
I dont remember the question number so please pardon me for that.
There was a question i think question 49, was the easiest of all..IF you are able to draw the figure properly, Bang !! 4 marks and figure was not that tough to draw. The clue in this question was the use of “Alternate segment theorem”.

AIMCAT 10919 results out !!

Finally AIMCAT 919 results are out and availabler on TIME’s website. My score was slightly lesser compared to what i had calculated. I ended up in scoring 93.84%ile on DI with 90.91 % accuracy which is the only point for my being elated. Then Verbal was on 96.2%ile wiht poor 70% accuracy but still i am happy that i have cleared the cut offs. Then comes the Monster QA section, it is proving my calling it a nemesis. Well, QA was poor 70%tile so i missed the bus here because of QA again. Overall i scored 93.34 %ile.

AIMCAT 0919 DI Section analysis.

If anybody has analysed AIMCAT 919 properly then it could be observed that DI was a scoring section. I understand there were questions that were tough, but if you look closely then in the first 5 questions of DI section, 1st, 2nd and the last one were easy and anyone could have managed to solve them will 100% accuracy in less than 5 mins, no calculation was involved.Then question 10th was just based on observation. Then if you consider the questions from 11-15, 11th,12th and 13th were doable but needed trial and error approach. Then look ofr questions from 16th – 20th out of these high calculation based question, 16th was easiest and had just concept of percentages. and if you are avg. at observing percentages then you could have solved 18th also.I am not saying that i have solved all of these qestions, but few of them. I have scored mere 29 in DI but after this analysis i came to know that had i alloted 5-8 mins more to DI i would have scored more than 40 !!
