hey can someone redirect me towards the cl unproctored mocks thread.. tried searching it.. but unable to find.. and by the way how are the unproctored ones..? planning to wrire one today..

why has CL not given a time management analysis?

After getting 16 wrong in section 2 in SimCat 8 in the afternoon, just had to take another mock today. And a very satisfying performance, specially considering the time of the day I took this one at

QA = 15,2 = 43 = 99.9 %ile
DI = 15,4 = 41 = 97.9 %ile
VA = 17,3 = 48 99.8 %ile
OA = 47,9 = 132 = 99.96 %ile

Well i dnt knw whether its the correct thread m posting into...:splat:
If anyone wanna Share CL Mocks with Me...i have TIME series only...anyone intrested can PM me....

@Naga25french

actually i didn't understand the part why

number of non negative integral solution :

C(n + r - 1 , r -1 )

@naga25french

can u explain this part of the solution?

number of non negative integral solution :

C(n + r - 1 , r -1 )

here n = 20 , r = 2

so c(22,2) = 11*21 = 231

normal combination formula

n C r = n!/ r! (n-r)!

i am jus substituting the required values over there

C(n + r - 1 , r -1 )

so c(22,2) = 11*21 = 231

Q.1
What is the total number of ways of selecting twenty balls from an infinite number of blue, green and yellow balls?

can anyone explain, how they reached the solution.

we have to select 20 balls .. there are three kinds of balls ..

a +b + c = 20

number of non negative integral solution :

C(n + r - 1 , r -1 )

here n = 20 , r = 2

so c(22,2) = 11*21 = 231

i m giving prockmocks in pdf format... ne idea wat percentile would an OA:- 114 fetch??
sectionals:- VA 40 (45 min in VA paid off which took its toll on a relatively easier DI)///
DI:- 38
QA:- 36
also temme d sectional percentiles .... if sum1 has got nearly same marks..

OA 99.9x

VA 99.0
DI 96.0
QA 99.x

hi evyr1.....cn ne tell me where frm cn i get CL's Proc Mock papers?....doznt matter if they r in hardcopy......

i found the last passage(frenchmen-africa one!) of VA very very tough.
Can anyone tell whether this kinda difficulty level comes in CAT paper?

And the explanations for this passage in CL-sis is useless.Please provide the same if possible.

wat abt VA??
RCs are nt much of a prob...

ohk ... sorry did not read the comment properly but try ... testing your skills dude .. i generally do that nothing much to prepare for me .. just hone your instincts ...

Ravi Teja Palla Says

the only way to tackle RC's is to read read and then read some more, you ought to be comfortable in all kinds of topics and tones, try to read what you enjoy the most in the beginning and then slowly expand your horizons the internet is a wonderful place you ll find very interesting stuff lying around. Try surfing through wiki and stuff ..for starters

hey ravi teja ...can u give me sum advise abt VA...i dn hv ne probs wid RCs...but VA is a trouble for me..if u can tll me sumthin..how i can wrk on it..bcz dat is the only thing coz of which m not able to score to my potential...plss if u can help

well unproc mocks are generally inspired by previous proc mocks...nd few are exactly same as far as i kno..bt cannot comment on all the UPM...
No of test takers may hover sumwhere arnd 12-15k range (may b more)...but its very difficult to tell..js an estimate in comparison to the no of test takers in aimcats...

is un proctored mock are very much same of that last year or it's a mixing of question?
whant's approx. no. of students for cl proc mock?

QUANTITATIVE 15 29
VERBAL 16 24
LRDI 11 25
Total: 78

Havent cleared 2 cutoffs of VA and LR. I felt i wasted too much time re reading RCs trying to find the right answer and left little time in the end for Di otherwise i shud have attempted 4 more questions in DI which were totally worth doing.

So reducing time spent in Vrbal would be my focus in the next mock

peace!

Took Proc Mock 4 in PP Mode:
started with verbal, found it easier than previous proc mocks especially the RCs.
Went to DI, DI was a breeze with one challenging set at the end compared to TIME.
QA tested ones concepts in number system. went for accuracy here.
QA: 29; 98.05 10C,1W
VA: 39; 98.78 14C,3W
DI: 41; 97.7 15c,4w
OA:107 99.62

nice score buddy....keep it up

Took CL Proc 4 @ home.

QA 13C,4W = 35 . 99.3
VA 9C,9W = 18
DI 8C,6W = 18
OA 30C, 19W = 71

DI also deserted me

Hope to get some respectable %tile in proc Mock 5.

anks1990 Says

congrats man...! btw just wanna ask the difference in the difficulty level of AIMCATS and proc mocks...! is there a huge difference in the levels and the no. of people appearing for the AIMCATS and the proc mocks?

Answer for the first question is "not really". It's that i had a really bad mock last time . CL mocks are bit mock logically (cat level ) than time but as far as number of students are concerned time has advantage over cl . to me both are equally good.

given after aimcat debacle in unproc mode........ satisfatory after mere 96 percentile in aimcat 1216......

va 40 (98.9)
qa 26( 95.9)
di 44 (99.2)
overall 110( 99.5

my percentile reduced by 1 percent!! wtf?? any 1 knows the reason?

Proc mock 4 oa-87 -96.49
QA -37 -99.4
DI- 33 -90
VA- 17-67

ohh mann!! cracking 37 in QA is really awesome! share some of the strategies... also do tell the preparation level and the books u are referring for QA.....!

Proc mock 4 oa-87 -96.49

Results out !!

QA 98% 29
VA 99.7% 44
DI 99.9% 52 ;)

OA 100% 125

i have done it before in Aimcats but first time in a PM

awesome score and lovely percentile bro share some of your strategies :

QA- 13C & 5W,99.2 I found it easy though my accuracy has gone for a toss . Three very silly mistakes otherwise a decent one.
VA- 8C & 10W ,58 started with it but same old around 50% accuracy :(
DI- 15C & 1W , 99.2 only section with satisfactory score.

OA- 92 , 97.82
Need to get rid of those silly mistakes 100+ was possible even with my kind of VA :-/

I got 43 in Quant, 40 in verbal and 32 in Di/lr. overall 115
the cutoff in di/lr is also 32.
does this mean that i didnt clear the cutoff or did i just clear it?
please reply....

i guess u just cleared that....btw if you have written the mock in proctored window then search for ur name in Toppers list,would solve your puropse

My Scores

QA 11C 2W - 31
VA 14C 5W - 37
DI 13C 2W - 37

OA 38C 9W - 105

I got 43 in Quant, 40 in verbal and 32 in Di/lr. overall 115
the cutoff in di/lr is also 32.
does this mean that i didnt clear the cutoff or did i just clear it?
please reply....

Took the test unproctored ..

QA : 11C, 3W
DI : 8C, 4W Missed cuttoff :banghead:
VA : 10C, 2W

OA score 78, 92.99 %ile. Improving gradually for the better ..

Just to clear the doubts regarding scores being changed

Initially a question in DI was given a wrong solution and marked accordingly

I (presumably even more people) shot off a comment against the soln. pointing out the flaw
to which CL responded quickly to change the key and everyone scores accordingly

The question in contention is
Q.48
The question given below is followed by two statements, A and B. Mark the answer using the following instructions:
Q. ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0 is a cubic equation where a, b, c and d are rational numbers. What is the value of 2a + 3b + 4c + 7d?
A. The equation has one positive and two negative roots.
B. The Arithmetic Mean as well as the Geometric Mean of the roots of the equation is 5.

the initial soln sought that that statement B was enough to solve the question because the roots of the equation then only could be 5, so the eqn should be ^3 and all the values of a b c d could be found ... but were there is a obvious flaw as the equation could be K^3 where k is any no. so the values of a b c d could not be found

MY score in DI rose to 56 cause of this change
and total surged to 127

hope any wisps of doubt are cleared through this post
