i guess all d overall cut-off n d sectional cut-offs except RC are very much realistic.But RC is just 2 high..i mean thr in no way it can cross 6-7/40(24-28/100). In CAT-07,a score of 6/100 fetched 48 %tile.Although we can't directly co-relate but still considering tht d RC's were very long,options were close (esp. all of these and 1 & 4 types),n thr were 4 sections due 2 which some ppl(like me) might not hv been able 2 give proper time 2 RC,i don't think cutoff in RC wud b above 6.


CAT-08-99.80(VA-99.36,DI-98.66,QA-96.53)
XAT-08-99.65(VA-99.67,AR-92.44,QA-95.91)
Calls- CLIK,XL-BM

I thought the TIME cutoffs looked most likely too! ANother reason for lower cutoffs should be the fact that quite a few questions were incorrect. So, I'm sure many poor souls would've spent time trying to solve them, or at least looked at them, and wasted precious time. :whatthat:

I would be doin that by today evening. But need your help in this regard.
These are the questions i Have compiled uptill now.. Plese add on to these by today ..

By how much area will increase/decrease of length and bredth of rectangle is decresed by 10%
options :
a. increase 1%
b. Decrease 1%
c. Decrease 10%
d. no change

(Answer should be decrease in 19%)


2. Integration of x*root x
the answer should have been 2/5x^5/2 + C which was not in the options

3 The question of geomtry...2 circles were drawn...radius 3 cms...find perimeter of shaded area. Insufficient details

4. Limit of x->0 (e^x - e^-x)/x . Answer should have been 2.

So do we write to FMS collectively or individually? If the latter, then let's compile together a list of all questions we feel are incorrect, and send it to lend weight to our complaint. I mean, we should have a template that all of us can follow. I am willing to help with this.

when these coaching institutes come up with an analysis and estimated cut offs,they often forget that it is not an expert giving the exam in some cosy environment,but rather a student giving a exam in a tight environment,where he/she has to try to maximise the atempts,keep a tab on the accuracy,as well as attempt all question..wrong question as it happened this time around also contribute a lot in eating up some minutes from the alloted 120 minutes,not only do we spend time over these questions but also we end up with attempting no options,so keeping all these in mind,the best thing to be done is to look at the analysis of the institutes and forget it t moment one closes t window,jo bhi hoga dekhe jayega,ab kuch badal to nahi sakte...


tough times don't last long,tough people do..
