The following are my scores.

VA - 14/4 - 38
QA - 7/3 - 18
DI - 8/2 - 22

Overall - 78

VA - As the paper was bent towards Vocab, attempted 18 of the 20.
I felt that the RCs were not that difficult.

QA - Certainly more doable than what my score indicates. It had a good mix of questions.

DI - Felt that it's back to TIME standards. Left out one of the calculation based things.

Except for VA, the paper was good.

I guess i'm the first one to take the test (accessed it from saved link ..... completed by 10:30 AM)

Dear Puys,

I think it's better to open the poll after 2 days.

Please PM me the poll options ....

Is anyone giving the test in 4:30 slot?
The server seems to be down.. will my answers be stored in the server and can I resume the test at a later point of time?

Just got done with the test...back to the +3 -1 scheme which i hate!! such low and concentrated scores in a particular range. Well overall a good moderate-difficult test with TOO much focus on vocab in VA. My scores:
VA 36 (14c 6w)
QA 25 (10c 5w)
DI 23 (9c 4w)
OA 84 (33c 15w)
here is confirmation:

QA : 16 A
12 C
Score : 32

My take : It was a simcat like paper, with almost all questions of similar level of difficulty, differing only on relative familiarity to the topic concerned. Overall moderate difficulty.

VA : 18 A
14 C
Score : 38

My take : Except for the Vocab based questions, the paper was pretty much doable, RCs were not very lengthy and easy to comprehend. Overall easy-moderate difficulty.

DI : 20 A
12 C
Score : 28 // gave close to 1 hour to this section, solved all the sets but then as almost always did some flunking(8 wrongs :O what crap !!!), don't know what and where.

My take : If aimcat has ever been close to so-called CAT standard this year, it was in this one. A good mix of easy / moderate and difficult questions.

OA : 54 A
38 C
16 W

score : 98

My take on cut-offs :

QA : 24
DI : 18
VA : 24

OA : 85 for 97.5
