According to me tips year's paper was easier than the last year on the whole. But still it was the worst exam of the season for me.

Don't worry. No penalty. Infact, in our centre it was announced that you can write behind if the space is not enough. don't worry. the announcement was made on the loudspeaker at the parle tilak english centre in mumbai.

So this was the toughest exam of the season.
I found LR doable with last 3 sets easily worked out.
Rest VA and DI/QA are tough.
Cutoff will definitely be lower as compared to XAT 2008.

My attempts:
VA-18
LR-14
QA-13
Total -45
Tough paper on first glance.....some sitters identified were the Soda Ash set on DI, the break even caselet, Couples caselet in LR.
Someone please confirm that in the teacher-subject caselet, in the question "The class on wednesday started at" had two same options, which was the right one, acc to me, ie, 7:20 AM and the topic was calculus.
Waiting eagerly fo rthe keys!!!
Peace..
