CSAT 2011 Pattern / Format Comprehension

In this section, questions may be based on certain real-life situations. The aim will be to test how good a candidate is at fact-finding, sifting through information, interpreting text, predicting and inferring events and recognising implied meanings.

Inter-personal skills

Inter-personal communication implies face-to-face communication involving few people (typically two) rather than large groups. This section is aimed to test the candidate’s ability to understand and manage the dynamics of social interaction.

Logical reasoning and analytical ability

Logical reasoning measures your ability to understand, analyse and evaluate arguments. Each question is based on a short passage, graph, table or a set of conditions. Analytical ability questions are aimed at measuring your ability to analyse a given structure of arbitrary relationships and to deduce new information from that structure.

Decision-making and Problem-solving

This section measures your ability to use logic in solving problems. The question will generally relate to situations that require you either to take some action, to explain why an action has or would be taken or interpret what the action implies. Questions based on some law and order situations or administrative deadlocks also can be expected.

General Mental Ability (GMA)

In the old pattern, General Mental Ability (GMA) Tests were included in the General Studies Paper. Now it has been shifted to Paper-II. The aim of the GMA Test is to evaluate your cognitive abilities — how proficient are you at learning and finding solutions.

Basic Numeracy

This section includes numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude etc, which are of class X level. The questions will test your ability to use numbers and solve simple numerical problems. The numerical knowledge you need for these tests is school level mathematics.

Data Interpretation

Data Interpretation (DI) questions tests one’s ability to interpret data presented in tables, graphs and charts. It usually requires two basic steps. First, you have to read a chart or graph in order to obtain certain information. Then you have to apply or manipulate the information for an answer.

This section also includes data sufficiency. Each question is followed by two statements — (1) and (2). Your task is to analyse each of the two statements to determine whether it provides sufficient data to answer the question.

Comprehension: This section tests your ability to read and understand written material. Questions in this section will be of class X level and will be tested through passages. The Reading Comprehension test requires a good grasp over the English language. The passage will be followed by multiplechoice questions

CSAT 2011 Syllabus

The new syllabus will now comprise two compulsory papers of 200 marks and of two hours duration each. Paper I will be General Studies (current events of national and international importance, history of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and world geography and the world, Indian polity and governance, economic and social development, general issues on environmental ecology, bio-diversity, climate change and general science).

As far as Paper I is concerned, there will be no significant change in its syllabus, except inclusion of topics on environmental ecology, biodiversity and climate change.

Paper II, which will be the aptitude test, will include aptitude skills including comprehension, interpersonal skills and communication skills, logical reasoning and analytical ability, decision-making and problem-solving, general mental ability, basic numeracy, data interpretation and English language comprehension skills.As per the new syllabus, paper II will have eight types of tests

There is been a wide perception regarding the establishment of the new pattern, there are already many complaints been filed in a stack in the Supreme Court, regarding the issue. When, you compare the new pattern with the old existed pattern (preliminary exam), you could probably say that the new pattern definitely loses the advantage of the optional subjects. These optional subjects are very popular, as they are very easy to understand and they do not demand any specific backgrounds to learn them.

They would also help to cover the general studies too, for example, if a student is strong in the general studies, then he/she could concentrate on it, and thereby it would be enough to spend less time on the optional subjects. Thus, such benefits would not be available in the new pattern. If the syllabus for the new pattern is designed tougher, than the existed old pattern, then the students would be facing difficult situations in clearing the preliminary exams

Lockheed Martin System Hacked

Lockheed Martin, one of the world's largest defense contractors, is also known for the great fighter plane F -16 producer was hit hard by hackers this week who used falsified SecurID electronic tokens to gain access in their system. The breach threatens the security of the secret data and information on present and future military with them.

It is not clear till now that anything was stolen during the breach. It isn't even clear what the hackers want, but the attacks are being traced back to an hacking campaign back in March on the RSA Security arm of the EMC Corporation, which is an important information storage firm in the country. The attack compromised the security of anyone using the RSA technology—which means most Fortune 500 companies, other military contractors, and even the Pentagon is operation over this technology

Most of these companies have since taken strong action to deal with the security issues associated with them, but as Rick Moy, president of NSS Labs, told Reuters, "Given the military targets, and that millions of compromised keys are in circulation, this is not over."

Lockheed looks quite confident that their broader security systems are in place and they have served to prevent or at least soften the blow from this breach. RSA, however, is at a different condition as facing critics because of this slag.

The RSA breach did raise concerns about any security tokens that had been compromised, and EMC now faced tough questions about whether "they can repair that product line or whether they need to ditch it and start over again," he said

Apocalypse Now still the all time Great work

The year of 1970s was Coppola's decade because in that period he was seriously involved in a series of masterly films, as screenwriter on Patton, producer of American Graffiti, director of the first two Godfather films and The Conversation, and finally, in 1979, as true auteur of Apocalypse Now. They illuminated the viewers times, and one can think that Apocalypse Now is not merely the greatest film to come on celluloid out of the Vietnam experience but one of the brilliant works about the madness of our times. He then immediately followed the early morning preview screening of Apocalypse Now at Cannes with a press conference which he began by his famous statement that "My film is not about Vietnam, it is Vietnam," and he went on to state that during the shooting "little by little we went insane". How brave and prophetic he was.

Short description about the film:

Coppola took Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad's enigmatic story about the cruelties of colonialism, and turned it into a 20th-century fable about neocolonialism in which the story's eminently sane narrator, Marlow, becomes Captain Willard, the Special Services hitman, as crazy as his assigned quarry, Colonel Kurtz. The difference is that unlike everyone else around him, from the top brass down, Willard knows he's mad. Everything about the Taliban, al-Qaida, the pressures that took us into Afghanistan and Iraq, the assault on Abbottabad and the deadly troubles that lie ahead are to be found here in Willard's journey. It's a work of genius that may falter a little towards the end, though not fatally. This newly released version is more or less the one shown at Cannes and is definitive. The half-hour of material introduced 10 years ago in Apocalypse Now Redux is of no value, it diminishes the film and is to

(Apocalypse Now,Production year: 1979,Countries: UK, USA,Runtime: 153 mins,Directors: Francis Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola,Cast: Dennis Hopper, Frederic Forrest, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne,Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Rpobert Duvall)

Kelley Blue Book stands as the leading automotive valuation company of the world.

Now, in 2011, Kelley Blue Book stands as the leading automotive valuation company of the world. That's 85 years in business and 18 years on the web world , and now, like the Orange County neighbors that surround Kelley Blue Book HQ, the brand is ready for a facelift.

People come to Kelley Blue Book for various reasons: to get a appropriate value on the car that they want to sell, or to see the real price the car they want to buy. Once a user gets their value, they ride off into the virtual sunset. Kelley always looks for the deeper interaction than that, and it's looking to revamp the website for this purpose.

It has seen in the past, that one product in a segment becomes so famous that it becomes a brand-name ambassador for the entire segment. Say "pass me a Kleenex" and you will receive a tissue paper in response, regardless of what the side of the box it's plucked from reads. If you require a Band-Aid, someone definitely will find you an adhesive dressing. Thermos? Same deal.

Similarly Kelley Blue Book is one such special brand name.In 1926, Les Kelley published his first edition of this Blue Book that was primarily a packet of pages filled with his valuations for used cars, the Blue Book stretched out to include new cars in 1966. As our world became gradually more digital, Kelley Blue Book extended its trace to the Internet the fastest growing communication medium in 1993, and the Kelley Blue Book then began to enter the lexicon of the car buying consumer in a new innovative way.

In the past there were two main doors. One read "New" and the other "Used." The new Kelley Blue Book offers a more generic approach to finding the information that one looking for, and the singular entry point begins by asking that "How Can Kelley Blue Book Help You?" In simple English, it asks four questions and from there one can filter down the path that makes the most sense for the purpose.

The complete website can be looked as an information funnel. Moving through the old funnel certainly wasn't a hard practice. This glistening new funnel, however, is packed with a wealth of information that's presented in a timely manner as one move from the wide ("What am I looking for?") to the narrow ("What's this car worth?"). As one progress towards their requirement they will be presented with a multitude of tools. Specs, photos, consumer and staff vehicle reviews, for example, are offered up before one reach to pricing details. Here, Kelley Blue Book is looking to arm both buyers and sellers with a greater extent of knowledge. This information was there before, but now it's more visible without intruding the computer screen. one can select how much or how little is shown.

The Kelley Blue Book is a website offering its services for exactly free but advertisements are there. Beyond the specs, reviews and advertising, however, lies the meat and potatoes of the Kelley Blue Book website. The value of a vehicle, new or used, is that meat, and Kelley Blue Book’s 5 Year Total Cost of Ownership Tool is the juicy au gratin potato sitting just alongside.

Kelley Blue Book has added up the visual flavor of each item in such a way that they allows consumers to quickly grab a deeper level of information than numerical figures. A tool called Reality Check displays the fair price of a vehicle. This figure is based on average transaction prices that other in-market shoppers are paying, and allows consumers to see what others are paying for the same vehicle. reality also compares a given vehicle to others in its segment.

The tools are supportive to people who are on the hunt for a new vehicle. Kelley Blue Book knows that the flip side of buying new is disposing of old vehicles, and the same valuation process applies, but in this brand-new wrapper. Since this is the refreshed Kelley Blue Book, however, the tools and information have been kicked up a few levels to make the process smooth and attractive.
