after first AIMCAT...!!

Yesteday, i had my first AIMCAT, that is practice test for CAT conducted by TIME. It was a good learning experience. I did well. Expecting a respectable score. Although its not the best i could have done but still satisfied, given that its just the beginning. A long way to go ahead. A lot to study. And moreover all, a lot to learn.

I remember my JEE days. The efforts i put in for it. Today, i specially remember the first test conducted by Brilliant Tutorials. It was total disaster. From all over india around 5000 students attempted that test and with all my sincere efforts i secures a rank somewhere close to 4500. This was first time ever in my life that i had such a poor performance in any of the test i ever attempted. It burned a fire in me. I decide to improve my performance. I started studying sincerely and put in a lot of efforts. Two months passed and it was time for the second test. This time around 10k students tried there luck and i was 65th. A good return to the efforts given. As time passed, we had few more tests. And with each test i kept improving and JEE happened!!

After JEE, many things changed in life. But there is one thing for which i will always regret. I forgot the desire to excel. I stopped competing with myself. As a result, i never gave the best i can, in any of the exams. Maybe it was because i was complacent with the fact that i am in IIT. Suddenly there was vacuum in life, nothing was left to achieve. And then one day, i decided to attempt CAT. Maybe it is one of the best decision i ever took. Today, After first AIMCAT, i am feeling motivated. Desire to excel is back in me. I am ready to compete with myself, to give the best i can . No matter whats going to be the outcome of CAT, i am very happy with the fact that, i found the part of me which i lost 4 years back.
