i have attempeted 87....
and think it just about good.....

over the years a good attempt in the paper is around 100

but this time with sectional cutoff and sections
attempting atleast around 2 rc became necessary
and the rc were really very very long
so i guess any attempts in the range of 95
should be a very good attempt

options :
a. increase 1%
b. Decrease 1%
c. Decrease 10%
4. no change

I guess the correct answer shd b 19% decrease

2. there was a QA question whch had 2 printed instead of root2.. This Q has root3 - root2 in numerotr and root3 + 2 in denominato
Agree with you....

for the rectange question, i guess i should have ben lenght increased by 10%, breadth decreased by 10%, then you get a decrease of 1%.........

For the second question, it should have been root 2 in the denominator.....
I guess answer comes as 98.....

My take on FMS:

I found the paper very lengthy......
LR - doable.....
RCs - very long and inferential questions....
Attempted 3 rcs but not all the questions of the 4 rcs....
Quant - easy, but mistakes in the paper...
Section 4 - good for someone with xcellent vocab, i dont fit into that....So bad for me.

Over all attempts - in between 95 and 100.....
Dont know how good the accuracy was in rcs and the VA section........
Not much hopes.........:x

One more...

the question about miscalculation when the answer is 4 short of the actual. I think question was asked for the correct calculation while the option were showi ng the number. Answer was 96 while the number was 480..if I remembered it correctly.


Cheers !!
