Online CAT,

78 questions like GMAT.

2 sections- English and QA.

Maximum Marks 800

Surprise Factor- The IIM's do it again





On a serious note- Have an OPEN mind and NEVER try to predict CAT

[0000]

My take..
Sections 3
Questions:26,26,26(78in total)
Options: 5
Negative marking: +4,-1

X factor:
1. VA : CR questions/SC questions/small RCs followed by more than 5-6 questions/FIJs
2. DI: more logical sets, Return of DS
3. QA: One more time easy quant section

And my logic behind reasoning..Rumours of Cat going the Gmat way ..and an indication of it in cat 2006

Mock Shocks and CAT 2007...Also, see the prediction in the end (thanks to Mohit1984)

Sections:QA,DI,EU
Questions: 25,25,25 (They would restore their tarnished image after the last year's paper with the same number of questions.)
Options: 5
Negative marking: +4,-1
Max marks: 300
X factor:
1. VA(tough but devoid of ambiguities) : Only RC and CR questions,the former consituting the major chunk of the section.

2. DI(Overall above average ..tougher than cat 2006): 1 easy set(as if any one could walk in and solve), 2 very tough sets(the trap) and 2 average sets(tough to spot though).

3. QA: Average quant section(Like cat 2005) with few wordy problems.

My opinion about CAT 2007.............

sections 3- VA QA DI

Marking-----+4, -1

No of Questions----------75-85
No of questions is unlikely to come down further....

QA---Should be slightly tougher than CAT 06

DI--- Should be more or less the same difficulty level...May see return of DS...possibly may also get
one set in solid DI ( The calculation oriented sets which used to come around 2000--03.)

VA--- I guess this section might be diluted a bit...still should remain the toughest section
in the test....no ambiguities expected this time around though...should mainly have RCs, some critical reasoning....summary might make a comeback...Might see paragraph completion being scrapped.

My take

No of Questions :90

30 each

Differential marking back.similar to CAT 05

Difficulty level similar to CAT 05

ie quant and DI being tough.VA being moderate.........

cheers

Can some one explain me the purpose of this thread.....

You guys have plenty of work to do I suppose with just 11 days to go.....

No one can guess CAT 2007 format, no matter how much attempts you will make it to guess it, on D -DAY it will throw the surprise.
After thinking a lot,my take on VA section:
it will full of passages may be 5 or may be 7.. all the questions including VA, FJIs, Vocab etc. will be on these passages!

DI:
it will not be new age DI, as these insti is giving in Mocks, it will be normal DI!

QA:
this will be the deciding factor between IIM material & non IIM material.
if 18th is your day & u can crack QA, thats it!
then this is definitely your last CAT!

number of questions:
total 99
it will be progressive -ve marking!

Prem bhai.. fun thread hai, but with the noble intentions of exploring some more formats tht can possibly crop up in CAT.. moreover, as the subject line says, it also is to unwind.. so those tense nerves can relax a bit visiting this thread..
You may also go thru the first post..
