Actualy, the strategy you mention is quite correct for maximizing a "short Manac-I quiz" ;-). However, I just feel that a test which favours the use of such a strategy is more eappropriate for a screening and IQ process, like CAT, rather than a quiz on actual subject matter. <BR/><BR/>To be sure, there's not too much stress. I quite like the place, and yes both ID and WAC were awesome courses! The post was just a reaction to one particular quiz pre-mid term which I thought was quite counterproductive from the angle of measuring learning and/or preparation. <BR/><BR/>Which batch were you in, btw?Ritwikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616694597577112758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21956427.post-46596050627616434112007-09-08T10:11:00.000+05:302007-09-08T10:11:00.000+05:30Well, whatever works for you as the best strategy....Well, whatever works for you as the best strategy. And as Gaurav has said, WIMWI wants to make a manager out of you, so is putting you into all kinds of difficult situations. Just wait for the third term and you'll know. But yes, by then, you'll have mastered the art of survival at WIMWI. <BR/><BR/>BTW, the idea is to make you get used to the stress. Believe me, once you are out, the learnings you'll put most to use are methods to cope up with stress, Dynamics (Individual & Group) and ..... hold your breath .... WAC!!!<BR/><BR/>So you might as well enjoy the ride, even though it seems quite bumpy.Mayuresh Gaikwadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244274693970257354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21956427.post-11175969781089180642007-09-07T22:38:00.000+05:302007-09-07T22:38:00.000+05:30Mayuresh,Yes OM-3 is well and truly on.

A test of IQ is not the same thing as a test of learning and subject matter - the analogy is rather invalid. <BR/><BR/>In any case, thanks for dropping by.Ritwikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616694597577112758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21956427.post-66043943926250172322007-09-07T09:39:00.000+05:302007-09-07T09:39:00.000+05:30WIMWI wanted to test whether you can maximize your...WIMWI wanted to test whether you can maximize your score when there is a lot more available for the bite than you can chew.
