GUIDE FOR STUDENTS PREPARING FOR SAT, LCAT, IBA

Who are you?

I secured the First Position in the IBA Entrance Test and scored above 2200 in the SAT. I have taught

students for the LCAT, IBA and SAT since 2011.

You must have taken tuitions from Anees Hussains or some other top-notch institute, right?

Like other parents, mine want me to succeed and given Anees Hussains reputation insisted that I join it.

After consulting my seniors, I realized that Anees Hussains focused on shortcuts, not concepts and

could never help me stand out from the crowd.

I prepared for the tests on my own.

How did youprepare then, andhow can I replicate that?

There are no standardized questions on the IBA test. Questions on Math as well as English can come in

any format, so preparing for a particular type of question and learning shortcuts will only go so far.

Getting a handle on the concepts, on the other hand, will allow you to effectively deal with any question

IBA throws at you. Same goes for any other aptitude test.

But I have a life! I cant study all day!

Focus on studying the right thing and you won t have to. I myself enjoy playing tennis and football

regularly and find the time for my favorite shows: Dexter, Breaking Bad, Suits and Hannibal.

Thats it for the lecture! If you need more info or guidance, drop me an email at

[email protected]

So often people are working hard at the wrong

thing. Working on the right thing is probably

more important than working hard.

IMPORTANT LAST-MINUTE REVISION1. Even functions are symmetrical about y-axis2. Odd functions are symmetrical about the origin3.

Asymptotes are lines which a curve approaches but never touches

4. 1 is not a prime number5. 0 is not an even number6. 1 power any number equals 17. Any number power 0 equals 18. the ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter9. Independent events are those whose outcomes are unrelated to each other10.Mutually exclusive events cannot occur together11.Arithmetic mean, median and mode are measures of Central Tendency12.Range, Interquartile range, Mean Deviation, Variance and Standard deviation
