Better than Yesterday is all I can say! (no fireworks in any section)
Scores:

DI: (13R, 2W) = 12.33
VA: (12R, 8W) = 9.33 :(
QA: (13R,3W) = 12
OA: 33.67

QA had a good mix of ultra tough and ultra easy! (whoever started from end would have scored high in less time!)


CAT 06:QA-97%,VA-96.4%,DI -88%,OA 97.5%,One month prep
CAT 07:VA-99.6%,QA-89%,DI-86%,OA-95.5%,Zero prep
CAT 08:QA-99.27%,DI-99.56%,VA-87.24%,OA-99.29%,Full prep
Please somebody tell me my strengths and weaknesses...

DI = 17(18C 3W)
VA = 8.33(11C 8W)
QA = 15.33(16C 2W)

OA = 40.66(45C 13W)


Wasted a lot of time in Q53(number of integer coordinates) thats y ended up with low number of attempts in quant.
In DI, wasted a lot of time in 4th set so couldnt give time to other sets properly and ended up with bad accuracy.
50% accuracy in RC questions.

I am nt sure whether I will clear VA cutoff.

I think you are over estimating the cut off.

You mean to say that a 132 will fetch 97%ile that too when the weightage to -ve marking is more.

Cut off should not go above 30 for 97%ile


My 2009 Mock CAT scores

Adventure is worthwhile!

yaar the paper had 33% negative and was extremely lengthy
so there is no way cutoff can more than 30!!

VA in IMS is generally on the higher side
One big blunder cost me

Re: [October 12th, 2008] IMS Simcat - 12 Analysis, Discussions and Scores - 12-10-2008, 02:22 PM

My scores :

DI - 17.00
(18C, 3W)
VA - 9.33 (
12C, 8W)
QA - 12.33
(13C, 2W)

OA - 38.66 (43C, 13W)

As is the case with some others, accuracy in VA let me down today. The ambiguous options and some controversial IMS answers did not help either.
Its one of those VA papers where every institute might come up with different answer keys.
