Typical MFC paper, but a touch on the easier side compared to last yr..

My attempts:
Section - Attempts (Genuine+Fluke) - Time allotted
GK -------------- 40+20 -------------- 24 mins
VA -------------- 52+08 -------------- 28 mins
QA -------------- 30+00 -------------- 30 mins
LR --------------- 36+23 ------------- 36 mins
Total ----------- 158+51

[made_for_iims]

my attempts
shall categorise into three parts... solved (knew it) + intelligent guessing + blind tukka's

LR- 50 + 7(in this those statement assertion question comes) + 3
QA - 57 + 3(2 questions were wrong so i assumed that they must hv tried to write this ) + 0
VA- 5 + 55 + 0
GK- 10 + 50 + 0

the division is purely speculations.... dnt rem much of the paper now

total - 122 + 115 + 3

Considering my pathetic accuracy in speed based paper.... should get a score of around 110 +- 20(huge variation )....

@buck 40 genuine attempts in GK is awesome.... while doing GK.... I was thinking that u must be knowing atleast 30 of these questions.... but 40

btw how many ppl sat for this exam... arnd 18-20K or more??
i think 98.5%tile in this paper should be suffice to get a call

[kaushikmba]

My attempts are approx 200 hope to get 150, from hyd only 70 students appeared don't know about other centers when will be the results will be out

[ravishah17]

@buck you had to make the thread..

well I haven't counted attempts but have made attempts of around 150+25 (flukes)...

Lets see when the results come out...

btw when is the result of MFC expected?

[nihilist1986]

my approx attempts..

LR 47
VA 48
QA 27
GK 37
OA 155+

dont even ask about the accuracy :smile:

ppl with reasonable attempts and gud accuracy got thru last time.. but ten my accuracy is always on the lower side so i attempted more..

so ppl with less attempts shdnt feel down..


ATB to all :smile: !!!!!!

[soutik]

My attempts:
GK-33
LR:52
VA:52
QA:15

These doesnt seem to be too good to me now as my accuracy wont be great but yes around 75 to 80. but now in posterity it seems i sud have gone for flukes. but anyways whats been done is done.

Lets hope for the best.
