Any Perfect Square other than that of 0 and 1 is always a multiple of 3 or one more than a multiple of 3

Any Perfect Square other than that of 0 and 1 is always a multiple of 4 or one more than a multiple of 4

But Together isn't true always!

Shortcut #3

When we want to keep a product constant and one of the variable is increasing by n/p; its corresponding counterpart has to decrease by n/(p + n)

Ex: In a rectangle, length increases by 40%. By what percentage must breadth reduce so as to keep the area constant.

If area is constant and length increased by 40% = 2/5,

That means breadth should decrease by 2/(2 + 5) = 2/7 = 28.57%

Preparing for an #MBA #interview in requires a combination of #Knowledge, #Self Awareness and #Communication skills

1. Be prepared to discuss every detail on your resume. Highlight your achievements, experiences, and the skills you've acquired.

2. Familiarize yourself with the MBA program you are interviewing for. Know the curriculum, faculty, unique features, and any recent achievements of the business school.

3. Be clear about your short-term and long-term career goals. Explain how an MBA aligns with your aspirations and how the specific program can help you achieve them.

4. Prepare commonly anticipated questions. Questions about your past experiences, Questions about challenges you've faced, and how you've overcome them. Prepare examples that showcase your leadership skills and ability to collaborate with others.

5. Participate in mock interviews with friends, family, or career counselors. Practice answering common questions and receive feedback to improve your responses.

6. Prepare thoughtful questions to ask the interviewers. This demonstrates your genuine interest in the program and your strategic thinking. This is not a mandatory part

The more you think of an interview as an interaction, the better your experience would be. If you think of it as a QnA session, the more stressed out you will be.

I can not emphasize this last part enough. Maintain composure during the interview. Speak clearly, concisely, and with confidence. Take a moment to gather your thoughts before responding to questions.

While writing mocks, I would implore you all to not focus only on the scores

Instead focus your energy to

A. Attempt the test again at home and identify if the shortcoming in scores was due to Time pressure OR due to lack of preparation

B. Identify the strong and weak areas

C. Look at solutions and identify ways to improve your approach.

D. Tabulate all your data so that you can analyse the performance at one go

E. Try and finalize an approach for the next mock

Happy Preparations 🎉📝📖📑💯🏅

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Want to Improve Accuracy? Slow Down.

When solving a Maths problem, we have been conditioned to READ and ANSWER. When it should actually be UNDERSTAND and ANSWER

Solving fast doesn't equate to solving better. Of course being both is great. But if a choice, begin with better.

“If you want to improve your accuracy, start by slowing down.” Because speed without structure is just panic in disguise.

If you attempt 15 questions with 5 incorrect; you score 10 * 3 - 5 * 1 = 25 marks.

However, attempting only 10 correct would lead to 30 marks.

So, what did you really gain by those additional 5 questions?

Most test-day errors aren’t due to lack of knowledge — they’re due to rushing to get to the bext question.

Think of this when you are attempting the next mock.

Give me a 👍🏽 so that I can judge how many are actually reading all this!
