Strategies for Finding WhatsApp and Facebook Groups for CAT 2017 Preparation
Preparing for the CAT (Common Admission Test) involves not just studying the material and taking mock tests but also participating in communities where aspirants can share their knowledge, doubts, and resources. Unfortunately, I don't have real-time information about specific WhatsApp or Facebook groups for CAT 2017, but I can guide you on how to find them.
1. Using Facebook Search
Facebook is a powerful tool for finding relevant groups. Simply use the search bar to look for groups by entering keywords such as CAT preparation 2017 or CAT aspirants 2017. This can help you find groups created by students and coaching institutes specifically for CAT preparation.
2. Exploring WhatsApp Groups
Whispers on WhatsApp can often be more secret and behind-the-scenes helpful. These groups are typically shared in forums, educational websites, or through social media. Websites like Reddit or specialized CAT preparation forums can be useful in finding links to join WhatsApp groups.
3. Participating in Online Forums
Platforms like Pagalguy, Quora, and dedicated CAT preparation forums often have threads where users share links to WhatsApp or Facebook groups. These forums are great places to find active communities and valuable resources for preparation.
4. Checking with Coaching Institutes
Popular coaching institutes like TIME Career Launcher, IMS, and others create their own groups for students. Reach out to these institutes to find available resources and groups. They can often provide you with direct links or invite you to their official groups.
Participation Guidelines
Once you find or join a group, it's important to follow the group rules and respect the community guidelines. Every group has its own set of rules to maintain a positive and helpful environment. Always be respectful, stay on topic, and contribute positively.
