[2018] IMS SIMCAT 15 Proctored (31st October to 4th November)

This group is to post scores and percentiles and discuss test taking strategies, doubts and queries for SIMCAT 15

VARC - 76 (27C/32A) - pretty manageable 

DILR - 57 (19C/19A) - really easy section, if someone like me is solving 5 sets - scores will flood in this section this time 

QA - 47 (16C/17A) - Only section that disappointed me in this mock. 


OA - 180 (62C/68A) - Good accuracy but attempts should have been way higher (especially in quant)

VARC - 45 (16C/5W) (tried a new strategy by starting off with va. spent 25 minutes on that due to which ended up missing out on 2 passages...need to be vigilant about this in the future)


DILR - 27 (10C/4W) (such an easy section it was. wasted half an hour on the first set. huge mistake... should have let go after 7-8 minutes max. hopefully such a catastrophe doesnt take place on the d day. at least 20 marks short here.)


QA - 21 (8C/5W) (what do i have to do improve in this? the more i try to be accurate,the worse it gets. need to get at least 15-16 correct consisitently)


OA - 93 (34C/14W) 


Horrible.

VARC- 56 (33A/21C) Thoda aur khichna h isme DILR - 65 (24A/22C) Surprisingly easy ! QA- 54 (24A/19C) Let down :-/ OA- 175 (81A/62C) ..Many will score 200 plus.. Confidence booster from Ims :)

VARC :- 32A/25C = 70 (Yeh kya ho raha hai 😂  Easy, yes. But getting a 70 in a SIM is no less than a miracle for me 😂)

DILR :- 29A/29C = 87 (Abe yaar. Misread some information in a set and wasted time in it. 96 hona chahiye tha yeh toh)

Quant :- 20A/18C = 53 (Give up kar diya difficulty dekhke. Didn't even complete the section. Round 1 karke submit. But good to see a tough Quant section. Yeh CL de deke easy ki aadat ho gayi hai. This was an unpleasant surprise but a much needed one. Eye opener at the correct time)

O/A :- 81A/72C = 210 (DILR ka 9 & Quant ka 12-15 milake at least 20 short here. Expecting the top score to be in 240s)

PS: Still awaiting the day jab teeno sections ek saath achhe jaaye. Hopefully 25th November will be that day.

VARC    52 (34A, 21C) (Isme bhi bura performance)


DILR   59 (22A ,20 C)  ( Isme  Topper ka 96/96 hi aayega)


QA     51 (19A,17C)  ( Submitted 15 minutes earlier,give up kar diya seeing the difficulty,  TIME and CL QA ka bad habit ho gaye,jisme khoon chusne nhi padhte itna laane k liye, but nevertheless an eye opener )


OA    162(75 A,58 C)  (Below par,considering the difficulty level)

SimCAT 15 ...

VARC - (32A/23C) = 62 ... Gajab ho gaya. SimCAT VARC me itna kaise aa gaya...

DILR - (24A/23C) = 69 ... Itna easy to nahi aane wala CAT me...

QA - (21A/19C) = 55 ... Started the section well. Was drifted away by 2-3 hard questions in second half. Should have skipped those questions...


OA - (77A/65C) = 186 ... Crossed 180 for the first time. Many people are going to score 250+

VARC- (25A/20C) - 56 DILR- (24A/24C) - 72 QUANT- (16A/14C) - 41 TOTAL - (65A/58C) - 169

VARC - 42

LRDI - 70

QA - 54 

OA - 166


53/65/54 Teeno section mein subpar marks... :((

VARC - 75 (Looked easy, should've been better given the LOD)

LRDI - 66 (The second half hour was shambolic. 15 marks short here at the very least)

QA - 67 (Again a bit short. Most difficult of all 3 sections)


OA - 208 (The demands are such that without a 220+ score, things don't look that good. Also, morning slots suck)

VARC-57(21C/28)...finally..


LRDI-73(25C/28)...Super easy..


QA-42(15C/19A)...Dhoka dediya dost ne..


OA-172

VARC -  73 


LRDI - 71 


QA - 62 


OA. 206 


Second last mock should have had a proper lrdi difficulty 

Can the level of quant be compared with the actual cat 2016?

VA/RC - 47(33A/20C) (People scoring high in this section could help)

DI/LR - 81(28A/27C) (Wasted a lot of time after misreading a statement in the Dice question, was short of a minute due to that in the last set)

QA - 67 (26A/23C) (Couldn't complete the first round, got stuck on 2 questions, Got to get over this ego issue 😂 )

OA - 195 (Was deinitely a 210+)

VARC 70 DILR 67 QA 52 OA 189

Varc 77 (34A, 27C) Dilr 60 (20A, 20C) QA 28 (20A, 11C) OA - 165 Urgh, the abusive relationship with Simcat Quants continues! Was the difficulty a notch higher or was it just me? Ps- This was a bittersweet one as OA it’s my personal best but I doubt I will be clearing the Quants cutoff.

VARC 75(26/30)- ridiculously easy options in RC and an easy VA.

DILR 48 (16/16)- Was an easy section but it's my achille's heel... Even then ~20 would have been a plausible attempt even for me!

QA 37 (13/17)- Was unwell and absolutely wanted to get up at this point so I am judging myself lightly here, still this section was slightly tougher.

VaRc 69 DiLr 72 Qa 55 (last 10 minutes, 0 score, loved the LOD) OA 196
