when will we ever get to give to the elusive 514???!

Hi

The office boy at TIME had shown me 514 and asked me what was wrong it that.
It was a 4 section paper, with 1 hr each for a pair of sections. After one hr we shud keep the paper "ulta" and start from the back.... I glanced at it for a minute or so, could find anything apparently wrong except the 1 hr 1 hr funda

Hi All..
my break up of scores this mockcat (read as attempts/correct/net score)-
VA/RC-26/19/16.67
QA-21/16/14.33
DI-21/15/13

NET-68/50/44

def need 2 increase both the no of attempts as well as the accuracy rate 2 get call from iims!!!

All the best for the next one!!

hi guys
gave the worst performance to date. even 40s are looking distant these days. thought i would post the scores after the results are out.
my take on the paper:
quant: same as 515 and 516..cut off shd hover arnd 10 - 12.(expecting arnd 13)
verbal: man..eu part was also not easy, apart from RCs..cut off may be 12 - 14(expecting arnd 16)
di: take it from me..di needs practice (surely from myside). cut off will be arnd 11 - 13 here.(expecting arnd 9... )
overall: shd be arnd 42 - 44

Pathetic performance...

Attempts/Right/Net

VA/RC *29/20/17
QA * * * 15/8/5.66 (Oh God!)
DI/DS *19/16/15

Overall 63/44/37.66 * *

I'm shocked beyond words... esp my Quant performance. 2 more sundays to go... * *hope to have a respectable mock next sunday. *

[pabby]

I don't y TIME is giving such tough papers at this last moments....An other tough paper....

Cut-offs i guess would be


Verbal - 15 +/- 1

Quant - 9 +/- 1

DI - 12 +/- 1

Overall should be around 45

Hopefully next time he gives a relatively simple paper.....

Guys...

Q No. 49...Malaise....The answer says anxiety...don't ya guys think it just doesn't make sense..

I believe answer should be enervation..

Please clarify

Hi

Yes i too thought it should be enervation ..... havent looked at the explanation in the key yet ..
Regarding yesterday's performance...

Not that great i must say .. only that the VA/RC attempts went up ... 30 this time ... 35 mints
DI 45 mints ... however need to do some speed maths as very slow with the calculations .. DS ws ok types and cud only manage to attepmt 1 reasoning problem on bikes...
Quant 40 mints .... though there were some probs which were straightforward, however silly mistakes and last minute rush and anxiety got the better of me ... attempts as well as performance in this section pathetic ....( not that i hv ever done great on this section in the previous mocks tho )

My attempts and accuracy in DI and Quant sections are miserable

With only 3 weeks to go .... I dont knw how and what i would be able to manage .. but still working my best ..... as and when possible .. with office it really becomes tough to stick to a timetable ..... can ne one give some handy tips as how to wrk on this one, i believe there must be ppl in the gang who in a similar situation as mine .... at the end of the day its sooooooooo dipressing as plans never seem to be get realized into actions I am even thinking of taking CAT the next year .. coz not really happy with my effort !!! I need sooooo much practice ... and hardly ne time ...

Pray ..................

Enervation means to weaken. Malaise is a kind of restlessness which cud refer to anxiety as well. Malaise n enervation though seem similar r actualy not.
