Chewing Gum

Thats what the CAT exam is all about. The exam chews on you as if you are a gum , extracts complete devotion and hardwork and then simply spits one out of the system, swallowing a select few. Well yesterday was D-day and i got spat out. It seems to be more of rejection procedure than a selection procedure. The difficulty level of English took me by surprise and well now will end up with an overall 92 - 93 percentile. When i first got the question paper in my hands and saw that there were only 90 questions, i felt i had a good chance of cracking it . But now thanks to the difficulty level of English ( the toughest ever in CAT history) and DI , forget about cracking, i hardly managed to make a dent.
I dont think i will cross the 95 percentlie mark in English so a call from MICA is highly unlikely, so really will need to crack the XAT english section . Right now i am in the proces of refocussing and getting ready for the IIFT exam.
However , as Albert Einstein once said, "In the midst of distress, lies oppurtunity." The MBA season is far from over and with exams like IIFT, XAT and FMS; i have ample chance to redeem myself.
So, finally, trying to come out of the chewing gum phase....
