SECTION I
LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION
Directions : Read the passage carefully to answer the questions that follow. Procrastination is a costly and draining problem for all of us. The easiest way to deal with procrastination is to never let it get started in the first place. Procrastination plagues us all. More plans go astray, more dreams go unfilled, and more time is wasted. It is a major stumbling block for almost everyone seeking to improve his use of time. For many, this becomes an insidious habit that can ruin their careers, destroy their happiness, and even shorten their lives. Procrastination is respectful of no one. All of us suffer from it at one time or another. Procrastination is doing low priority actions or tasks rather than higher priority ones. It is straightening your desk when you should be working on the report; watching TV when you should be exercising; calling on the friendly customer who buys very little when you should be preparing a sales presentation for that tough prospect who could buy much more; avoiding a co-worker rather than telling him the bad news; staying away from office to avoid disciplining a subordinate; and postponing activities with your children, because there always seems to be something “more urgent”, until suddenly they’re grown and you realize it’s too late to do any of the things you’ve always talked about doing together.

MAT Computer Based Test

2012-09-22T20:55:00.001-07:00

‘Computer Based Test ’ means the candidate sits in front of a computer and the questions are presented on the computer monitor and the candidate submits the answers through the use of keyboard or mouse. Each computer is connected to a server, which prepares the question set and delivers it to the candidate on the computer. This is unlike the traditional paper based test, which is generally offered on a single day to all candidates. MAT will be offered over a period of time and the candidate can choose the center, the day and time of his/her convenience to take the test, as described in the later sections. Computer Based test assumes that the candidate has basic familiarity with use of computers like use of keyboard and mouse operation. It is the responsibility of the candidate to acquire these skills before appearing in the test and AIMA cannot take responsibility for the same. In the rare and unlikely event of a technical failure during the test, the candidate may be required to attempt the test again. The candidates must ensure that the computer allotted to them is switched on and any problem with the computer should be informed to the invigilator immediately. Details like your Name, Roll No, Form no etc are to be filled on the space provided on the space provided on the screen for test appearance. There is no time limit for individual parts of the test. The candidate can go back and change any of his/her answers among the 200 questions. All questions will be of the Multiple Choice Question (MCQ type). Each MCQ will consist of a stem which may be in the form of a question or an incomplete statement and four options. Candidates must choose the correct or most appropriate answer by clicking on the button next to the answer. Candidates can navigate freely through the questions. At the conclusion of the test you should follow the instruction of the invigilator in order to properly record/save your test work. Blank sheets for rough work will be provided, if required. All centers are closely monitored for security and candidates’ identity and activities will be recorded using web cameras and/or closed circuit TV cameras. Anyone violating the rules of the test center will not be allowed to continue with the test and will be automatically disqualified.
