CAT 2007 Discussions: Quantitative Ability Section - 17-11-2007, 05:34 PM

Please use this thread to discuss the Quantitative Ability area of CAT 2007..

A relevant poll for the scores shall be put up when the answer keys of at least 3 to 4 leading institutes (preferably, TIME, IMS and CL/CF) are known.. I would sincerely request u all to vote responsibly, preferably taking average of the scores obtained from the 3-4 keys, as the poll above would serve as a fair benchmark for one and all till the results are officially out.. you may post your scores as per various keys in the thread, but polling the average is desirable..

Another issue is, the poll options would deliberately be made wider than that in mocks in order to cater to larger strata of CAT takers, and get a fair and realistic normal distribution curve..

So here we go.. ATB, Puys!


A humble request: Help us all maintain the sanctity of this thread - please avoid posting pre-CAT comments and feelers, wishes, speculations et al..

PS: Other relevant links
CAT 2007 Overall Discussions (CAT 2007 Discussions: The Overall Picture)
CAT 2007 DI Discussions (CAT 2007 Discussions: DI & Logical Ability Section)
CAT 2007 VA Discussions (CAT 2007 Discussions: Verbal Ability Section)

PPS: A poll is been added for sectional QA score.. please make sure you have calculated your scores with one or more of the 3-4 leading coaching institutes' keys.. I guess most of them would be pointing to the same answers..

I found Quant Damn Tough.
Maybe i got unnerved with the Quant firing from all sides..

Waiting for the perception of other users.

Dont feel like analyzing the paper now...
Cant trust any answers ...

Just checked the Poll at IMS

1/3 say bajaoed CAT
1/3 say vice versa
1/3 indecisive

My quant was never a strong point ... the quant experts might give us an insight ...
Calling Quant experts !!

Thats some good difference ...

Every question had a twist ... i even tried inverting the whole to solve quant ... thought i'd find a clue ... but negative ... no clues on turing the paper upside down either ...

Save me ..

methinks 20-22 would fetch at least 92+ percentile in qa
