Cl Flt - 1 - 13-09-2004, 09:17 AM

Helllo CL Guys...

As promised I'm coming up with my FLT - 1 scores...Please pour in with your views / scores and analysis...

For the paper... 3-section one....

VA/RC - Started off with this section ...spent about 48 min ... Lost marks in the most-inappropriate one ...( dunno how to crack this set of qns ..I always lose marks in this type of qns .. ) ...attempted 5 .. 3 wrong..
Some close options in the fill-in-the-blanks...and the rest of VA was OK...
RC was really tough with loads of inference questions (and very tough contrary to the easy ones we've been getting in the last 2-3 CL mocks ..)..Screwed up RC big-time as I follow the Qn by Qn approach ...

47 / 29 / 18 - 24.5 ( Accuracy sucks big time )

DI - Next comes DI ...This section had some wonderful DI sets...Dunno how these CL guys manage to come with innovative sets in every Test....Most of the sets in DI were easy and manageable....But I screwed up the DS ..so couldnt score as much as I wud've liked to .... LR was tough and was supposed to be left out ( except the cap-color qn ..and the other one ..brahma-narada one ..) ... The last set of 5 qns was to be left out at the first look itself ...where we had to check for almost 4 statements in each question...which was almost equivalent to solving 4 qns...
32 / 23 / 9 - 20.75

QA - Horrible....I couldnt find the so called sitters even though I spent 40 min in this ..Though I hope to clear the cutoff ... I wasnt happy with the way i went about it...I'm not good at this secn....so no point in i tyring to analyse it ...Guys ..please come out with ur take on QA sectoin...
18 / 13 / 5 - 11.75

Total - 97 / 65 / 32 - 57

Relative Performance (As given by CL )

Percentile Total

97.5 % - 51.7
95.0 % - 46.7
92.5% - 43.7
......

Going by the above performance table ..I think ..I might have scored somewhere around 98.5 %....( Not sure ) ...

Anyway ...its time for all of you to come out with your scores and views and analysis..

Hey...If someone has their FLT scores uploaded or can access the online version of the analysis....Do post it...

ADDED LATER

Guys I dont know anyone over here and no one knows me either...So do post your ranks/percentiles of your prev mocks so that we can know if we've screwed the paper or did well...

AS for me ...

928 / 238 / 88 / 55 (ranks in cl mock1 / mock 2 /mock3 / mock 4 )

Re: Cl Flt - 1 DI - 13-09-2004, 02:11 PM

My ranks in the four mocks have been 13/ 43/ 39/ 3

FLT 1

Started with DI ... 41 minutes.

I usualy do the graphs but end up mising the logical reasoning questions which i like to solve. So i started with DS and LR.
Firstly DS ... 121- 128 ... played safe ... attempted 5.
Then 132-137 ... attempted 5. Seemed to have seen 136 & 137 before ... bu they were too easy to be of any help.
Then did the set on doll teams and divisions ... all 3. Left 141 -145 ... as i felt i was wasting a lot of time. 146 - 150 were easy ... did all 5.
Now moved on to the graphs in reverse order.

Pie chart 129 - 131 ... easy, did all 3
Then bar graph 118 - 120 ... did all 3 ... bulbed a bit in 120 ... but d was obvious.

Then the table from 115 to 117 ... very easy ... but took time.
Left the line graph (don't like them) and did the election set ... cracked it.
With 1 minute left, tried 102 ... got it ... but took 1 min more than what i ought to.

Score 32 attempts .... 31 right 1 wrong 30..75
While correcting, i had hoped to get all correct but missed q 150

Re: Cl Flt - 1 English - 13-09-2004, 02:20 PM

Around 39 minutes.

Started with question 31 ... take less time.
Did all 5 dictionary matching ... but left the parajumbles (good decision ... takes time).
Did 41-50 quickly. So i attempted 15 questions in around 8 minutes ... got 13 right.
Now i had 30 mins for the RC's ... to score peacefully (did not score as much there as i should have)

I did 5 passages ... the order being 5,6,1,2,4
In 5 ... i got 3 right out of 5 attempted
In 6 ... i got 3 right out of 4 attempted
In 1 ... i got 4 right out of 5 attempted
In 2 ... i got 4 right out of 4 attempted
In 4 ... i got 2 right out of 5 attempted ... screwed it up totally

Score 38 attempts 29 correct 9 wrong 26.75

Re: Cl Flt - 1 Quant - 13-09-2004, 02:26 PM

40 minutes

Started doing in order, leaving anything that looked remotely difficult.
Nothing much to say ... it was not that easy

I attempted the set from 96 - 99, I did the first 2, and there was hardly a minute left ... i thought 98, 99 both have insufficient data ... but did not take the risk as i did not have time to check ... what luck ... i would have got them right.

Score 30 attempts 29 correct 1 wrong 28.75

Total 100 attempts 89 correct 11 wrong 86.25


Thsi time more than 80 % of my wrong answers were from english ... usually the figure is about 60 %. Any tips on how to improve your accuracy in english ?

I started with the verbal section - spent 15 minutes to attempt the verbals - then moved to QA - spent 45 mins in quant - very few attempts - then DI and then to RC.
I screwed up 5 questions in Verbal (questions 46-50) because i didn't read the directions completely - started off answering assuming best fit was asked - whereas the question was asking for best misfit - lost 5 + 1.25 (due to negative marking) right there - also, lost a couple of marks in QA due to incorrect marking of the answer in the answer sheet

There were two questions with misprints/incomplete info. 1)74 has a misprint - "the weight of hollow and symmetrical spherical shell is 7/3" is printed in the test book - whereas it is 7/8 in the answer book - spent considerable time trying to solve/figure this one out - and ultimately left it unanswered
Soln to q 85 is wrong - wth - we can't use 0 in the first place - we are not forming numbers - we are forming codes for a lock - it can very well begin with 0. - acc. to me the answer should be (b) 10 x 9^9
Also - i am unable to locate it now - but there was a problem on SI/CI which said money doubles in 3 years - how much time will it take to become eight times - or was it in another mock ? :P
In CL mocks quant is generally tough - anyone else feel the same?

Well - no use crying over spilt milk. After all there are no second chances - have to do the best in what you've got. But it does teach me that I should spend some time making the directions absolutely clear - no point answering questions if you don't know what is required.

My Scores:
EU/RC: 26/15/11/12.25 cud have been much higher if not because of my haste in ignoring the directions
QA: 18/13/5/11.75
DI: 27/20/7/18.25
Net score: 42.25

tdubey, you've been doing great! give me some tips on improving speed - i am not so concerned about accuracy.
ATB for mock 5.

my percentiles in mock 3/4/5 were 81/96/84

Heres how i did in flt 1:
date of taking test:sep 22
score:50.25

section:attempts/score|time
eu+rc:38/20.5|37 <---very poor accuracy in eu part (
qa:18/11.75|44
di:23/18|33
total:79/50.25|120

this how i proceeded:
0.0-0.2:familiariize with paper
0.2-0.18:eu part
0.18-1.00:quant
1.00-1.31:di
1.31-1.35:filled answers
1.35-1.56:rc (attempted 4 passages)
1.56-1.60:stray questions from di+quant

ive been workling on rc speed...seems to be improving a bit though its too soon to say so.....out of 20 questions of verbal, i could get on ly 11 correct!!! I need to also work on geometry a bit...there were lots of questions in this test where concepts of median,cetroid, circumcenter of triangle were required.

Re: Cl Flt - 1 - 28-09-2004, 04:05 PM

I took the FLT 1 today. Started with DS, then to DI....attempted 34 in 37 minutes....then moved to QA..a change of strategy...It is normally in the order...DS -DI-EU-RC-QA....
attempted 21 in 40 mins....then, i realized what a fool i have made of myself by leaving the EU and RC for the end..I was too tired and had no enthu left whatsoever to write the test further...but, proceeded with the test however, it seemed all latin and greek to me....managed to attempt 35 in 43 minutes...

Break up :

Section / Attempt / Correct / Wrong / Score / Minutes Spent

DS+DI / 34 / 28 / 6 / [highlight=crimson:39a3a5204e]26.5[/highlight:39a3a5204e] / 37
QA / 21 / 18 / 3 / [highlight=crimson:39a3a5204e]17.25[/highlight:39a3a5204e] / 35
EU+RC / 35 / 20 / 15 / [highlight=crimson:39a3a5204e]16.25[/highlight:39a3a5204e] / 43

Net : 90 / 66/ 24 / 60

The analysis given with the paper doesn't specify the percentile above 51.7...any idea about it ( actually, there is just no use knowing it )


I think, therefore I am ..............Rene Descartes
