Well I am giving Career Launcher Mocks which are quite challenging...But i have no idea how many students give CL, so can't comment on %ile standings.
Coming to IMS the papers are not as tough as CL Mocks & also pple who take it are substantial...They experiment a lot on the pattern & marking schemes:satisfie:

ALL THE BEST

CL-4 Mock was given by ~17K ppl...u can check it at ur SIS login

My honest comment:

Why are we still having this discussion? Aren't we already almost halfway through the Mock Season; and here we are still discussing the relative merits and demerits of which ones to join? I mean, lets just continue with whatever, wherever we have joined and learn to trust our decision/ instinct. This is a debate (best test series) may rage on for unlimited time with each one of us supporting/ liking/ disliking/ criticizing one of the mocks. Lets just forget about this discussion and concentrate on cracking the CAT which is what we all want to do.

So all the best to all of you for CAT.

I have taken all mocks of TIME, IMS and CL, In my opinion

this year

1) CL is coming quite close and similar to the AIMCATS.

2) IMS much closer to actual CAT in terms of type of questions , number of questions, marks almost everything.

3) AIMCATS since many people are giving it i guess the percentile factor comes here.

After last year, I have taken up IMS and CL this year. And i feel this is pretty good enough...

I feel one should go for IMS + TIME or IMS + CL...
and this is purely my opinion.

But if you look at the CAT paper lately, its not about setting a very hard paper in math or DI esp last year...SIMCATS come close to the pattern...but for challenging extra questions can go for TIME

My take on base of 10.

..................................No. of Test takers ...............Varity & Quality
.................................................. .................................QA .......DI.......VA
Time ..................................10.............. ...................... 7............ 7..........7
IMS.................................. .8.................................... .6.............5..........6
Career Forum ....................4............................. ........ 8............ 9......... 9
Career Launcher ...............8.................................. ... 7............ 7........ 8

Time or CL for competition or ranking.
CF for good test preparation.

Best bet, take two test series, (either CL or Time) + CF

Now I have fixed up for all CL , CF as well as TIME mocks - hopefully this will give me good preparation from all possible angles.

Better ask for the first 3 CF PreCATs if u are paying for the whole test series. I think they will be flexible to let you take In class on weekdays and also scan the answer sheet

PS...NOT SURE ABOUT THIS, BUT U CAN CHECK

[k_saksena]

Yeah , I'll be giving the CF pre-cats on Monday Mornings (bunking collage of course) , People told me htey were nearer to what difficulty level might be expected in CAT.

i think u should actually join some test series. that will keep in touch so that when u will join any of the classes u will have the feeling that u are very much in the race.

For learning sake i think u should join Career Forum's test series. They are best in terms of quality.
