The test was excellent
My performance was pathetic
In 50 minutes solved only 7 questions fully. About 9 questions half solved and left it in between due to time pressure.
During the 50 minutes my attempts are only 7 Just within 10-15 minutes after the 50 minutes could easily solve 6 more.These answers are in Red

01.- B
02.- B
03.- D
04.-
05.- A
06.E
07.E
08.A
09.- C
10.- C
11.-
12.-
13.-
14.-
15.-
16.A
17.E
18.E
19.-
20.-
21.D
22.-
23.-
24.-
25.-



Will update as and when I solve more...Will post solutions in separate posts in sets of 8 questions once I complete solving all the questions I can by myself

As cricketing experts say, play the ball on its merit and not bowler's reputation. Same holds for QQAD tests as well as CAT paper. Solve each question purely on its merit without any fear

Actually, earlier we used to present test on weekends but noticed low attendance in discussions -> some users suggested that we should move on to sometime during the week and this helped getting more participation.
