Very often CAT aspirants wonder how they will manage, what seems like a Herculean task of mastering English vocabulary in the limited amount of time available for CAT preparation. They say that Verbal Ability (VA) should be spelled as a "Walk a Bull Awry" rather than Vocabulary! One of the simplest methods of becoming familiar with a language is to read the language. To absorb it in your blood stream, so that it becomes second nature. The focus should be on an integrated approach. The best way to get familiar with English Vocabulary is to read books. At this point alarm bells start ringing and even those who aspire high begin to perspire much saying that it is difficult to persevere! Reading books is too time-consuming or too boring! This may be a valid point from an aspirant's point of view. How do we tackle this? My solution is simple! Instead of reading one book of 500 pages (which may be boring and time consuming) why don't you do the following? Share your books with your friends (sort of a mini library +) Read the first 10 pages of 50 different books read less

I am not being able to divide the time between quant and verbal for GRE. I have the official guide of ETS . Help me with the time I should devote to each section in order to score more than 320.
I would suggest you take a mock test and divide the preparation time for each section based on your mock test score. Usually the verbal section takes more time since it is much more difficult than the quant section.

1. so what is the minimum time required to prepare for the Graduate Record Examination . 2. Also what in your opinion is the right way - directly after B tech or get into job and then go after 1 year or 2 years ?
Answer to Q.2 It is better to continue MS immediately after your UG. Since you are going to specialize in the area of your interest a break is not advisable. In case you are going to pursue MBA, then experience becomes necessary.
