Puys,
It would be great if you guys can copy paste the keys of various instis for all test form numbers... it would avoid people like me, with a screwed up internet connection, from raising our BP on various insti webpages...
My refresh button seems to be tired too...
PS: especially keys of instis which are not public...
And how accurate do u guys think is the testfunda percentile calculator??

Cheers,
Shabad

My bro just call me up. His take on the paper:

DI- Intensive calculation
Quant- Better then last years paper and medium on difficulty level
Verbal- He says only IIM answer key will tell how well it has gone.
