FMS has uploaded (size 1.21 MB), for the first time, a copy of "Instructions to the Candidates" for the benefit of all candidates who may not have received their Admission Ticket till now. http://www.fms.edu/downloads/FMS%20E...structions.pdf.
All eligible candidates, listed in the Website's lists can report to their respective Test Centres by 12 noon tomorrow to receive a Duplicate Admission Ticket, after producing ID proof and a Copy of the same Photograph that had been used in their Application/Admission Tickets. They will get the Duplicate Admission Ticket (Centre's Copy) on the spot. However, they will not get any copy of "Instruction to the Candidate" that had already been mailed alongwith the Admission Ticket (Student's Copy) to their respective Addresses.
The candidates who have not received their Admission Ticket till now would do well to go through the "Instruction" so that they are clear about the Do's and Don'ts of FMS Entrance Test that is being held in 82 different Centres all over India. 49,000+ candidates (with 76,000+ applications for both the full-time programmes of 208 seats) will be appearing in the Test.

sir can u please tell me how many correct attempts would fetch 50%ile in EU considering 35 questions like last year

Please read previos threads written by me.

Hey Nitesh,

I have attempted FMS08 paper as a test and scored below scores...
114-QA
54-RC
54-VA
48- DI
do u think these scores'll fetch me calls..?

Very difficult to comment...(becuase we have no eaxct information)
1. Last year someone who attempted exactly 95 got calls from both the courses...considering 80 % accuracy (which is on higher side)..he would have scored around 300...
2. I believe yours is borderline score..
3. Just analyse last year paper once more..you will find that one can easily score 70-75 in LR/DI...I think you wasted time by attempting questions on walls curtains, distrribuion of money among ABCD, question on interchaning money among 5 friends, king and construction, dice rolled, ..even touching these question in FMS paper is suicide....please see that differencve between tough and easy questions in very high in LR section..Try to identify such questions in exam....i did not attemp any of them....left all of them just after reading for 2 minutes..... .
4. Rest score is good...
5. Good luck

sir can u please tell me how many correct attempts would fetch 50%ile in EU considering 35 questions like last year

Puys,

According to what i read in different forums for FMS for VA every year there has been a change in question type. Still you can expect to get qs atleast 2 or 3 among the following: Idioms,Figure of Speech,FIB-which are relatively simple n u can save time too,word replacement-again on the simpler side,analogy-tougher,antonyms n synonyms-tough..,Para completion n jumbled paras. All the best

I am having a fight with the speed in RC...I generally take arnd 10-12 min in a RC of arnd 1500 words...

I am also having some problems with the quant of higher level...

Whts the correct way to approach 175 questions in 120 min keeping this thing in mind that the score should be almost equal in all sections??...

Pls help me out...!!...

1. Three RC should be sufficient....but for someone with good reading habits....all 5 RC are Do-able....Solving less than 3 can be risky....read questions first and look for answer...
2. I already wrote about it....anyway i will just write that in FMS 2007, score of 35-40 led to 99.9 percentile....in Jan 2008, score of 20-22 led to 99.9 percentile....(both my guesses....i appeared in both exams and cleared both times)
3. i never follow any fixed strategy...I just start with 1 and end with 50 (or whatever are number of questions)....in jan 2007 i started with RC>>Maths>>LR>>Verbal.....in jan 2008 what i did was Verbal>>Maths>>RC>>LR....I again request you all to considerv the line that "your own strategy will be best strategy"....don't look at others for such answers....just see what works for you...
4. I don't have answer to question raised by Abhishek_fr_CAT .....I think one need to look at last few years questions papers to figure out a pattern in surprises...

this is third post without any reply...plz answer this one...plz

I am appearing for FMS 2009.FMS website has said that minimum of 50% tile is required to qualify for the xam .Is this sectional cutoff is going to be remained fixed or will it increase according to the performance of students like which happens in case of CAT?

It is FIXED...

Maxpadaku bhai, since you are back and FMS is day after 2morrow, plz reply to these queries ASAP. Plz answer only those queries which haven't been answered by you already

TIA

1.I wanted to know what strategies you guys employed when tackling RC's in last years test.I solved the paper and found the going tough-tried to read all the 5 passages on a trot and solve the questions but made a lot of mistakes.Would this be a prudent approach?or would you suggest attempting 3 or 4 passages max.

2.Would 15-20 correct answers in LR be enough to clear the 50 percentile mark(assuming it is a 175 qn paper?)

3.Could you please throw some light on the overall strategy? time spent on each section and the order in which they were attempted?

@ maxpadaku
while appearing for the mock FMs paper I found attempting more than 2 RC (i.e. around 14-16 q) is turning out to be really tough.Is this no of attempts with 70-75% accuracy is enough to clear the sectional cutoff for RC? plz reply.

I can not say anything about number of attempts to clear cut off...it keep changing......going by last year paper you will easily clear cut off with this score...

Hi ,can you please give your marks and percentile in each section and overall, so that we can get an idea about it.

TIA

Maths 99.9
LR 99.9
RC 99.5
VA 90.0

Total 100 percentile..

..Please go through earlier posts written by me , for my say about cut-offs...

Hi FMS Seniors,

i had a few questions regarding the paper:

1. Aren't there any DI questions in the paper ..... coz the CL analysis says that there were no DI sets at all in FMS 2008.

2. Regarding VA .... can the seniors throw some light on their attempts .... i have a very ordianary vocab knowledge .... i can manage abt 30-40 marks .... is that score gud unuf to clear the 50%ile barrier .....

3. Lastly .... wat were the approx cut off's for FMS (both courses) .....

thanks

Please go through last 5-6 posts written by me...

Nitesh

1. I had very ordinary vocab...actually poor vocab...still made it...
2. RC are long but number of questions following each RC is also large....second thing, answers choices are not as close as they appear in CAT....u can easily eliminate...

Hello Seniors,

Can you please guide me with how much marks should a person need to have to cross the 50%ile barrier. No doubt english is the toughest part of FMS paper and to make the condition worse there is different section of RC and english usage. As per the last year data if we get around 100 questions right we are in. I want to attempt just minimum no. of questions in eng. to attain 50%ile in it and maximize my score through quants and LR. Plz someone provide me with the last year figure of no. of questions attempted to cross 50%ile in eng. usage or RC.

TIA

I think people want a FIXED number of attempts before going to exam....My say is that please don't go to exam with any such pre-concied notion about any section....This data will prove the point..I attempted around 45 in maths (more than 40 should be correct), i got 99.9 percentile in maths....In LR I attempted 22-24 (all should correct), i got 99.9 percentile in this section....another point...i also got calls last year (jan 2007 exam) and last year i was able to attempt 40 in LR (very easy paper)..so i am sure if this year someone would have gone to exam with a thinking that he will crack 35-40 in LR, he would have screwed up........so please don't go to exam with any notion about number of attempts....just MAXIMIZE....

A great thread for the aspirants of FMS!

I ahve very ordinary vocab and so i am just striving to clear the sectionals in that section.
What i wanted to ask is that is it possible for a person to clear the VA cutoffs with ordinary vocab?
I would be giving around 20 min to VA and then attempt to maximise my score in QA and LR?


And about the RC section, i had read somewhere that Fms had very long Rcs last time around with not so direct questions.
So, what would be a good strategy to clear the cut offs in this section.
Would 2 Rcs(8 q each) with reasonable accuracy do to clear the bare minimum?


Please also shed some light on the respective sectionals of each section and the overall cutoffs?

1. I had very ordinary vocab...actually poor vocab...still made it...
2. RC are long but number of questions following each RC is also large....second thing, answers choices are not as close as they appear in CAT....u can easily eliminate...

hey maxpadaku..................it-bhu...thts gr8 buddy...bhu right there at the top..m doin bsc from bhu..........ma first attempt at fms this 11th.......................just wanted to know this thing about vocabs.....i mean thats my stronghold but how do we deal with some of the words that appeared in last year vocabs....thts just too much.any last 5 day tips...............hop to meet u there at fms......

Sorry for late replies. I was engaged in some other activities for last 2-3 days. Anyway For vocab. what i suggest, is that right now what can do is, revise all idioms..Please understand that VA section is generally highly unpredicatble (unlike maths and RC). So everyone finds it new. Every time they have new words (god know, from where they get them...you will see few words, which are not there even in Barons)...BUT it is for everyone. ....Cut off surely is not going to be a problem, if you have just "good reading habits"....

its not working buddy

Hai,
its nice to discuss and learn... someone suggest some stuffs on VA that we can practice ...like the one we did ...figure of speech stuff..i thank shanti for this initiative...

& one more (silly type ques)

is anyone there whose centre is "school of open learning,north campus,DU"....we are three frnds here & no one of them hv received admit cards......so i was jst wondering dat if anyone has got or not??...

Yes , I have received my admit card on this tuesday. I too have the same center as yours...

hey i hav a query??
i have received only ADMIT CARD but NOT THE BULLETIN THIS TIME...is this case only with me or common to all???
and..
When is the tentative date of declaration of result by FMS ???
and
Will the results of FMS be declared openly(showing names of candidates short listed) like last year or will it be individually(like we have to enter our details to get the results) ???
pls reply.

FMS has sent in only the admit cards this time, there is no bulletin. So no need for worries.

This year FMS would declare both scores and percentile score.
I believe we would need to enter our details for results. Not sure about this though.
