i would recommend u take up simcats(ims)
even though time test series has highest no of takers, the mock papers quality isnt too good.di is consistently very tough,quite contrary to the level which cat paper tests.
also there is no shock value in terms of pattern and mix of questions in time papers.
if u compare the cat paper with ims ke tests, u woud urtself realise that simcats come closes to cat papers in almost all parameters.

@ Mods...Kindly pay attention

Or may be on this one http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/career...ud-i-join.html (which test series shud i join)
