Tough paper, on the whole.. mismanagement on my part in terms of distributing time.. all in all, mazaa nahi aaya :neutral:

My attempts:
GK/BA - 11.02
LR/CR - 11.10
QA/DI - 13.63
VA/RC - 12.60
Total - 48.35

I think my attempts are on the lower side, at least as compared to my general performance in mocks.. so now it boils down to the accuracy game even for IIFT-K call..

PS: Since the papers are with us, a relevant poll shall be started once the keys of the big 3-4 coaching instts start trickling in..

Re: [25-Nov-07] IIFT 2007: Paper Discussions - 25-11-2007, 01:01 PM

last year IIFT was considered to be the most difficult exam in the country.. this year they thankfully had only one answer per question
i should be clearing all cut-offs (hopefully) and should clear the overall one as well

the paper was a bit skewed towards L & DI.. too few quant q's
the absence of geometry and mensuration was quite conspicuous.. there also seemed to be too many q's on averages

in the logic section i doubt too many ppl must have attempted the passages

in DI the "which statement is TRUE (or FALSE) were in my opinion best left out.. u needed to go thro 4 calculations for a single question

VA seemed quite scoring and those with strong language skills would have been able to pick up a lot of marks with a relatively less investment of time

my attempts
logic 10.36
QA/DI 16.33
VA 16.2
GK 6.46 (expecting good accuracy here, no wild guesses)

Total 49.35 (its a pain in the @$$ to calculate attempts/scores in this paper )


My biggest concern now is my poor accuracy

My performance so far

you're saying you'll clear sectional cutoffs...
it wasn't even mentioned in the paper that we have to show our competence in all sections..or something on that line
i attempted my paper assuming there was no sectional cutoffs..
someone please explain...

Do not tell others how to do things;
Just tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity:smile:.
