I heard from TIME that AIMCAT starts tomorrow ie. 18th May 08.

EDIT: Am in chennai but i think dates should be same across india.

IMS have also reduced their prices by half by offering double the no of tests.
Time as per its advt is ofering 20 aimcats at rs 1950 , it comes out to be Rs 97.5. So there is isn't much difference in the price.

It seems you were right. I was able to get the confirmation from TIME today, that the AimCat package does actually cost 1950,- for everyone. Yippee !

Believe me, it's not a win situation for them at all - they lose megabucks - work out for yourself ( 20,000 x 3,000 ) : that's what the reduction in charges does for them. However, perhaps, because of the lowered prices, everyone and his brother will join, so that might offset their 'losses' somewhat.

Yup - IMS has really set the cat among the pigeons.
Now it's CL's turn : CL is offering 34 tests ( yes thirty-four tests) for 1500,- [ 16 Mockcats + 12 Full Length Tests (FLTs) + 6 other tests)

If this trend continues, soon someone might start offering you money, to take their test series ....

P.S: Who's joining what test series ? - perhaps we could have a quick poll. Each offer seems better than the next - now what ?

Puys, If you register for TIME's test series before 20th May, you get an early-bird discount of Rs. 200, making the fees Rs. 1750/-. Found that out at today's Mock.

HI

today i gave CL pre mock . it was free of cost. well quite contrary to what one of the member said about i found it very easy. i cant say about previous years but this mock was truly easy and i doubt if anyone would ask such easy questions in cat. I m not a good student but certaily todays paper was somewhat very easy. so we expect the cut off to go very high.

Hi puys,

I would like to know more about this CL giving 34 tests @1500.Also if we compare IMS , TIME and CL which is the best.

As per I know IMS is better since more number of students take IMS test.Also test std of TIME n IMS are almost same.

Any comments on this will be appreciated.

i have scored 134 overall but dont you think that 150 is way to high. till last year people used to say that CL mocks are of the olypiad level. but all of a sudden this drastic change. Maybe they have taken a cue from this forum. neys lets see what would be the actual cut off.
