) and watch RSTV debates which are used by candidates preparing for IAS. It needs the practice to follow the structure (introduction, body and conclusion), make logical arguments, avoid grammatical mistakes and write the article within the word limit. Also, it is expected in What that you take a side on a topic and justify it. Although, it depends on the topic. Even if the topic is abstract.

What -Written ability test is to check your knowledge of the current happenings in the world plus the opinion making plus your written communication. So to prepare for What you should go through various newspapers like Indian Express, Hindu, ET, etc. to have different opinions about the issues happening in the world. Then you should practice writing your opinions and summary on What topics. This would help you in increasing speed plus improve your coordination between thoughts and writing. Summarizing a very big article in your own words would help you a lot for What. What writing should be logical, factual and should give a concrete view on the topic. This would check your grammar, spellings and punctuation also. Thus the above method could prove quite helpful in preparations for the What.

You can try by starting to write an article everyday about any topic which is interesting to you. Also since you are preparing for CAT/IIM, I presume that you read newspaper daily. So try summarizing articles which will be helpful not only for what but also in your both professional and personal life.

Each year, lakhs of students appear for this Common Admission Test. But 90% of them are not getting seats in IIMs. IIMs are meant for students who crack Common Admission Test with percentile above 95.
