    Hi , I am a third year engineering student and I will be giving CAT next year. My writing skills are somewhat average. So what all should I plan to do in the next one year to improve my writing skills?

    @pulkit Its better now to keep updated with the current affairs and read how news articles and business articles are written. One of the books I can recommend you as you have very good time to improve a lot is 'When to say and when to shut-up' by Prof. Rakesh Godwani at IIMB. He has written brilliantly and devised a framework on how to write to keep the reader engaged.

    Later start yourself writing and get them reviewed by peers and mentors

    Hi, How important is writing style for CAT/MBA versus the substance of one's essay? Does churning out words assist or one needs to logically build up multiple arguments for the topic

    Hello. I am a fourth year engineering student . I will be taking my XAT after 18 days. My question is which topics should i choose to practise writing essays. Is there any specific category that we should focus on ?

    Hi, I want to know if we quote some famous sayings or words but don't mention it's author, will that leave a bad impact ? Another thing I want to ask is If we come across a topic on which we are unable to formulate our thoughts like ' Gender disparity will lead to third world war ' , what can be done to save the day ?

    what should be the overall approach for essay writing. Like starting with a hook and continuing and bifurcating in 5-6 passages. Last I wrote essay in school actually so bit perplexed..

    anjali yes u can mention famous sayings without author. Mostly reader would know all of them. Even if they don't it's not a problem. For ambiguous topics.. . Like its said analyse each word and think about all possible ways u can related to any of ur life events as well.

    It's a simple pattern... Start with introduction, body explaining and the conclusion. Body can have 2 paras max. U won't have much time to write a lot.
