Before you dive in , I feel its necessary to give you my intro.

These are just my 2 cents before you get your hands on this book.

I am neither an expert and gooroo of any kind nor I pretend to be one.

I used to be another hopeless kid on the block just like you a few years back, I used to seek alot of answers from every source.

Although I tried to find many answers like most of you are doing at this moment and thats

the reason you chose to download this e-book and read it.

Well, I found some answers by trial and error while some questions were still unanswered.

And I dont want you to be one of those who find out all the answers on their own, so I

created this e-book.

Although I am not saying that I have all the answers ,whatever answers I have are prettyimportant which you will find extremely useful in your journey.

I have history of cracking various entrance exams quite successfully including CAT and

others, I dont want to brag my percentile or my success here. I dont think, its important at

this moment. You can read my story by going here

http://mbakakeeda.com/journey-of-my-failure-and-what-i-learnt-from-it/

This book is written by taking you into consideration, maybe I will brag about myself

sometime later. You can always listen to my rant by subscribing here.

http://www.mbakakeeda.com/Welcome

I make a lot of people chuckle and emotionally chargedat the same time, they feel

riveted to the content and thats why , most of them stick just to listen to what I have to say

next.

Yours Sincerely

Sukrut Khambete

Why 30 Day Gameplan ?

30 day is the most crucial period in your life. You may not realize it at this moment but you

will realize it as soon as you will finish reading it.

This month can make or break your whole preparation, if you dont pay close attention.

This is the time when you can turn around the whole thing. You can go from zero to hero.

You have that potential. You just need proper gameplan in place to execute it.

It will also prepare you for other exams as well.

So without any further ado, lets dive into the nitty gritty.

Super Productivity Hacks

This is the set of best strategies you can use become super productive.

The strategy will be useful for both, including people who are working as well as non-

working.

Now I can recommend you a few books but considering the time window, you dont have

much to go through all of it.

1. Power of Full Engagement( Read more about it http://mbakakeeda.com/the-power-of-full-engagement/)

2. 4 Hour Workweek( Read more about it http://mbakakeeda.com/cracking-cat-tim-ferriss-way/)

3. Pomodoro Technique( Read more about it here http://mbakakeeda.com/productivity-hacks-part-1/)

There are a few steps you should follow

a) Clear Morning Anxiety: When you wake up, dont start reading newspaper ordont start studying but make sure you clear your morning anxiety. These are some

things you can do to clear your morning anxiety.

Exercise in the morning Take a brisk walk Walk, Jump, Stretch Do Meditation ( Read more about it here http://mbakakeeda.com/how-to-double-

your-productivity-triple-your-concentration-quadraple-your-success/)

b) Batter Box Secret: Baseball players spend several hours in pre-game practicehitting before the real game begins. They swing extra heavy bats before they step to

play. Never start day with directly going to study.

Every morning start with exercise, meditation or reading some high quality book

which sets the tone of the day, so when you start studying, you are fired up and

motivated.Some people wake up and check emails, read newspaper or watch TV. Its a complete

waste of your time.

c) Turn off your phone: Either turn off your phone completely or put it on silent. Ifyou are not doing that you are leaving door open for interruption. Dont become

servant to your phone.

Believe me, you wont important any important news which will directly impact your

CAT preparation.

Remember this when you feel obsessively compulsive to use your phone.

Leaving the phone off and in an entirely different room

is one of the best work practices you could ever engage in.

A side benefit to doing this is that your battery will last

you waaaaaay longer.d) Never check your emails/facebook before you do any productive work :

Work on result producing activity. Solve Sudoku, revise formulas, memorize words,

give sectional test.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=z9UjeTMb3Yke) Do hard stuff every day: If you find any topic difficult , study it when you are high

in energy, dont study when you are tired. You will learn or grasp much more when

you are in high energy state. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

f) Work in focussed blocks of times: Dont study for more than 2 hours withouttaking any break. If you are not giving full length mock, its better to take break every

45-60 minutes. Relax for 15 minutes, drink water, eat something nutritional.

Dont start playing games, dont browse facebook or dont check emails in between.

g) Maintain healthy lifestyle: Eat balanced diet. Eat atleast 5 times a day includingbreakfast, lunch, and dinner. Drink enough water. Exercise daily. Take enough 7-8

hours of sleep , dont cut back on sleep for study reasons. Lack of sleep will result inlack of problem solving capacity.

How Big Boys play their game

Strategy vs Tactics

Most amateur MBA aspirant want to learn tactics, they dont cover their basics, they dont

analyze their mistakes but they get into the tactic bandwagon.

Tactics are good but if you dont know where and how to use them, you will miserably fail.

Newbie wants to learn tactics, shorter methods. Pros learn basic and then develop their

strategies.

Let me give you an example

If you have downloaded my e-book break 99%ile barrier

www.mbakakeeda.com/Welcome

I have mentioned tactics in that book, these are not strategies, so for some problems they will

never work.

Tactics come and go but strategies always stay.

Strategies are like basic underlying marketing principles; these principles will be same even

after 500 years and even 500 years back.

Let me give you an example.

Tactic executed in great way.

Now if you know the formula, 10C2 * 9C2 is the answer but if they ask you find out

parallelograms of specific sizes or if they put a clause like parallelograms with no side

common, then you are into real trouble, because you know the tactic but you dont know the

strategy.


9/12

Tactics have its own place , they work but dont rely on them completely.

Tactic executed perfectly but strategy was wrong.

Now if you know, in right angled triangle, semi-perimeter is proportional to area (or product

of sides) and proportional constant is a whole number.

Now if we divide 33,600 by 56 we get 600 as an answer so 600 is a multiple of hypotenuse,

so if you assume that answer is one of option 1 or option 3, so this tactic worked well but now

if you dont know how to zero in on option 1 or option 3, you are stuck.

Did you see, how tactic made your life easy but if you dont know the strategy of how to back-

calculate to get to real answer, your tactic is of no use.

The right strategy takes the pressure off of executing your tactics perfectly. For example, if

youre skiing on an icy slope, then turning is going to be hard. You can improve your turns as

much as you want, but youre never going to turn as well as if you just moved slightly over to

the perfect ski area with the perfect snow.

Its like when youve got a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. You get tunnel vision if

youve only got one tactic. Instead, you want to chunk up, figure out the strategy to achieve

your goal, and then start thinking about the tactics to execute that strategy.

If you get the strategy right, you can still stuff up half your tactic and still succeed, because

strategy is what guides everything. You can do your tactic perfectly, you can execute a tactic

perfectly, you can completely bomb if your strategy is wrong.

That is the power of strategy. If you ever catch yourself getting stuck in these tactics, just step

back, take a minute to think about the strategy and see where it fits in the big picture.

You pick the right one and its almost impossible to fail. If you get the strategy wrong, theres

a good chance youre not going to get good and predictable percentile. If you pick the right

strategy, you only need to execute it half right and youll still do a pretty good job.


10/12

Efficiency vs Effectiveness

The next big thing is efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency is doing things right,

effectiveness is doing right things. Effectiveness means working on things with a high

payoffs. Unfortunately, people work very hard on their CAT and achieve minimum results,

no matter how they practice, their score shows otherwise.

You should concentrate first on being effective in what you do and give your attention later to

being efficient at it. Determining your payoffs areas will increase your effectiveness.
