Re: CL Mock CAT 9 - 24-10-2004, 01:30 PM

When I had a cursory look through the paper at the beginning I got the feeling that this was going to be one of those CL papers where people score in their 90s. But as it turned out, I was mistaken, or I committed too many mistakes.

Quant was typical CL with several sitters hidden all over the paper. I hate myself everytime I review this section after returning from the centre. Cutoffs can be around 12-14.

EU+RC was pretty easy except for those word meanings. RC didn't have a single tough passage. Cutoff should be around 20

DI was easy too. I really liked the last two reasoning questions, probably because I solved them within a minute. There were quite a few questions early on that would have taken time if we got down to calculating the value, but could guess the answer from the options by just having a proper look at the data. Way too much DS (hate them). Missed the philosophical questions CL has been giving in the last few tests.
Cutoff should be 16-18?

My scores:
QA - 20/14/12 (might miss cutoff )
EU + RC - 43/35/32.4
DI + DS + AR - 35/29/27
Total - 98/78/71.4 (the paper deserved a much higher score)

I started off with DI and was amazed at the amount of sitters scattered everywhere. Especially the reasoning questions, they were just too easy. Made a couple of silly mistakes in calculation and my score dropped down to 22 in this section.
Moved on to QA and found more number of sitters there than usually are in these CL mocks. But being the dumbass I am, couldnt quite capitalise and made some very silly mistakes here too. Score of around 9 ...very low compared to what can be achieved...
VA/RC was very easy...attempted all passages except 1 and ended up with a net score of 35 (out of 45 odd attempts. Cant say exactly as I took the test yesterday and the CL guys dont give me the paper when I write the test on Saturday...have to collect it after Sunday)
So net score of around 66.
The regular toppers around here should easily manage 100+ and I wont be surprised if Mr.Nayan Thakare gets a full score of 150.

Hi
DI was easy ...
RC and Quant was OK as well ...

My score in Quant/ RC/ DI should be 12.66/ 24/ 23.33 ... Total : 60

The cut-off should not be more than 58-60 ...

Nayan Thakare is probably the one high flier (above 110 net ) in one of the Cl sims! Or is it more than one.. anyways!

paper was Standard CAT paper... slightly easy did u say!

Quant - 21/16/5 - 14.75
Eng---- 42/30/12 - 27.00
DI ----- 30/24/6 - 22.50
Total --------------- 64.25

With -1/3 it is 62. 33

Re: CL Mock CAT 9 - 24-10-2004, 03:34 PM

It was definitely a much easier paper..Missed century mark by a whisker :( but feeling relieved after having screwed previous cl mocks...
My tentative scores are:

Section * * * *Attempt * * * * Correct * * *Wrong * * * *Net * * * *
QA * * * * * * * * 38 * * * * * * * * 32 * * * * * * 6 * * * * * * 30
DI * * * * * * * * *42 * * * * * * * * 36 * * * * * * 6 * * * * * * 34
EU/RC * * * * * *42 * * * * * * * * 37 * * * * * * 5 * * * * * * 35.33
Total * * * * * * 122 * * * * * * * *105 * * * * *17 * * * * * * 99.33

I think tdubey should score somewhere around 110 *

Re: CL Mock CAT 9 - 24-10-2004, 03:36 PM

this paper was a pleasant surpise after the hammering dished out in the TIME paper

tho i feel that giving such a MOCK is really a waste with CAT so close
we need some real tuff ones

my scores
section attempts\correct\wrong\score
VA-48\38\9\35
QA-30\25\5\23.33
DI- 36\32\4\30.66

total 114\95\18\89

toppers will easily score above 100 in this paper...
all sections wre straightforward and scores in excess of 30 in each cud have been achieved..

newyz...
ciao
