CAT and Related DiscussionDiscuss information and B-schools under the toughest and most exclusive management entrance exam in India. The CAT - The Common Admission Test.
Question 74 Statement II states that
2 kg of type-C Cookies cost 20% more than the cost of 2 kg of some other type of cookies.
So it is not 20% more than either A or B but some other entity X.
hey frankenstein,
u're right..the answer to that question is indeed 4! cl changed it..and the scores put up on sis reflect that changed score. i marked the answer as 3..thinking we r talking about just 3 types of cookies here..but since it has been mentioned 'some other type of cookies' one doesn't know for sure what cookies the person is talking about..i lost 2.67 mark 'coz of this question!!

Thanx Megawhiz.
Can anyone post the key changes here. I took the test at home so wud appreciate if some one cud post it.
Took this test at home yesterday evening. Was hoping for a score which would boost my morale after a confidence shattering AIMCAT in the morning. And I did get one I guess, though QA again turned out to be my nemesis.
Just went through all the scores on this thread, and I was really surprised that people havent scored more in DI. This was such a high scoring section. And it's probably the first time I've got more in DI than VA.
VA - 28/7 - 28.6
DI - 23/2 - 31
QA - 9/4 - 8.3
total - 68
Was pretty sure that I wouldnt be crossing the quant cut off but to my surprise the cut off was 8!
Edit: Oh, I forgot to add that there seem to be quite a few key changes? After taking the test I calculated my score to be 64 as per the answer key but after inputting the scores in my SIS I get 68! Can someone list out the key changes?

Must I add a cautionary note ...
Last year I joined CL (classes + test series) and was consistently scoring in the range on 95-99+ %iles and therefore was pretty happy with the way things were going. But, on the D-day performed badly in all sections. Yeah, I had a bad day to say the least.
I didn't score well 'cuz DI was the toughest last year and QA has never been my forte.
I consistently scored 99+ %ile in each of CL's mocks but managed to mess up VA on the D-day. Why? Just 'cuz CL'z VA is always too easy and nowhere near the CAT standard.
So, it's advisable to keep looking for difficult VA outside CL's study material and MOCKs.

I agree with you about CL's VA being below par. Take the summary questions for example. Once you read the paragraph you will immediately be able to eliminate most of the options. The summary questions given by TIME are far better, even if they lean too much on the tougher side. It's always better to sharpen your claws on some tough bones rather than chewing cud and sitting content.
though its very late to post now but my mockcat 3 scores are
va and r.c.-18.7
d.i and d.s-18.3
quants -11.6
total-47.6
percentile was 94.7

it was sucha easy test.i cudnt beleive that why c.l is preparing tests which are not as tough as cat might be.i havent even prepared a single section as yet and got tht much which really shouldn't have been the case.the cutoff was just 52.which is far more suprising.
The mind is everything. What you think you become. He is able who thinks
