well I went with cool mind without any pre-conceived notions and rumours 
I was expecting the change in the paper with the reduction in the number of questions.But it was surprise for us with 90 questions,25 in quants,25 in di and 40 in va.4 marks for right and with 1/4 negative marking.
I amn't good in quants but found it difficulty level lower than previous exams.So I could breathe easier this time:smile:
In DI,there were some calculation work more  Wish it could have replaced quants  questions were on data suffiency,bar graphs,matches played and percentage based.Took longer time to attempt
VA
4 RCs were there but not too long 1s.More of vocab based questions and correct english based questions 
I wrote the exam with full confidence without losing my nerve and leave everything to Almighty:smile:
Till then :meow: :meow: is bit over with and internals from tommorw :sad: and IIFT next week

My analysis on paper:
Quant -- Easy yo Medium
DI--> Medium to tough (Very calculation intensive)
VA--> Seems to moderate but answers keys with IIM's.. So ONLY GOD knows and IIM's knows how it was...

The keys generally are out by 4 PM or so, but I would strongly suggest you to not go by those keys, as they would have been made in a hurry, and hence likely to be wrong.
By late night, you will get a more stable set of keys (with the exception of VA of course)

Found DI to be very difficult ..... had to mark intuitively in DI.....QA and VA were medium level
My attempts
QA-- 14
DI -- 11
VA --26
now only a good accuracy in DI can save the day for me ......

just back home..
not a very good outing but should say was better than last year..
did 12 in DI,12 in QA and 27 in VA..
DI was tough :neutral:
found a lot of sets difficult to comprehend..attempted 12 because of the LR sets..thank god!
QA wasn't too easy either..lil time consuming..VA was ok but 40 qns  !!!!
waiting for the keys..as of now IIM's seems to be far away..hoping for the best..do post your performance guys..
but one thing was i was satisfied with my performance in a way that this was the best possible shot i could have given..pretty exhausted now..whew :neutral:!!!

Well guys, don't be to anxious about the answer keys. They won't be out before 4-6 pm. Also, those are really not stable either.
For VA, you have to rely on your instincts. Because most of the keys go haywire when IIMs come out with their keys.
Well one of pal called up & his review on the paper
Quant: Manageable, quite easy
DI: One case from last year's simcat & rest of it was easy.
VA: took time but easy.
his overall attempts: 50-55
