Exam Day Strategy for IIFT Toppers

Exam Day Strategy for IIFT  As we step into the exam season, the anxiety is palpable and with a window of just 7 days between CAT and IIFT, it is important to set the right strategy for IIFT. While CAT is the ultimate exam to crack for any MBA aspirant, it is important to focus on a few other exams as well (XAT, IIFT, SNAP, TISSNET, NMAT) as the colleges accepting these scores are among the best B Schools in the country. The main differentiation between CAT and IIFT is the exam taking strategy and time management, with 4-6 sections and sectional cut-offs getting the right strategy is very important in IIFT. Over the years I have seen many students having very high overall scores but fail to clear all the sectional cut-offs. What to expect in IIFT Exam Paper 6 Sections making up 120 Questions to be solved in 120 Minutes, while the difficulty level of questions is lower in QA, VA and LR compared to CAT, students tend to struggle in the GK and DI Section in IIFT.
