VA - 34-35

OA - 100 + for a single call, 115+ for multiple calls.

took countdown 10 day before yesterday. after taking care of the anomalies in the answer options, my score is:

qa: 27 (7c 1w)
di: 43 (11c 1w)
va: 35 (10c 5w)

oa: 105

will have to increase accuracy in va, increase attempts in qa...

Puys,

CD-10 cut-offs and analysis out:

http://www.cflogic.com/Countdown2007...10Analysis.pdf

I gave CD-09 today.

A rather average performance .

QA - 28
DI - 40.5
VA - 39.5

OA 108

PS: IMO, many of the VA keys are contestable. Honestly, i am not at all happy with the explanations given in the solution book. Also, i have reported Q1 and Q44 (Of CD-10) for review. The solutions should be changed.

Q1 in CD-9

The answer is given to be 5. I feel its ridiculously incorrect. How can "you order envelopes along of other stationery items". Since when is along of correct. This defies all the rules and logic of English language in my opinion.

IMO, the answer should be 4.

Q10 in CD-9

Again, the explanation is given considering answer option 2 i.e CABD as correct. However, answer option '1' has been given correct in the answer key.

Seriously, i am highly disappointed with the no. of mistakes in the keys and solutions. I had never expected this from CF .

Please let me know your comments.

Yup totally agree.. Q1 answer 5 is definitely not correct..
4th seems plausible..

some mistakes do creep in.. if it can happen in CAT these r not even precats :P

cheers!
