[bindal.anoop]

hello every one ,

well puys...it will be my first crack at FMS...if sm1 can brief me about pattern of the paper ( no. of questions , level of difficulty...etc..) i have been goin through questions of the level of snap and nmat since CAT...hw different it will be in fms...it will be a grt help for me to plan out for FMS..thanks

[killerkart19]

to all

I am 1 fms old.. this is my second attempt.. well to give the first timers an idea of how the paper was at that time.
the paper was a lengthy one 175 questions to be attempted in 120 mins with a +4/-1 scheme..
Sections Area No. of questions Attempts

I

Logical and Analytical Reasoning

50

28 - 30

II

Reading Comprehension

40

16 - 18

III

Quantitative Ability

50

23 - 25

IV

Verbal Ability

35

18 - 20 Total

175

85 - 100
i fine split of questions with logical reasoning on the easy side and VA on the tougher side .. there was little higher maths with easy questions on limits and derivatives( so puys u can simply glance through the formulas of higher maths). vocab was intensive with some idiom based questions.. DI/DS was absent..

overall i would say try to work strength by strength with a motive to score maximum..

Regards

Sectional cutoff 50 percentile seems to be quite low at least from the CAT perspective. Does it mean, we need to rather look for maximizing our scores in the area where we are more comfortable? As there are four sections, ideally the time distribution should be somewhere near 30 min for each section. But if sectional is low, can we safely spend less time say 15 mins in RC and 45 mins in QA etc.?
