If anyone wants to discuss the questions of SLOT 1, please PM me.


qa-15 ; va- 23


the paper was of moderate level..i screwed it up..as i got nervous..could attempt only 1/3 in lr..no error corrections were there..not expecting any thing from the exam

everyone kindly share your exam experiences along with the no of attempts in each section..

Any one found Section 2 as tough?

Hi Guys, Gave my cat today in the morning slot. I will not write a lengthy description as I am sure very will be interested in reading it. Over all I attempted 20 in Section 1 and 22 in section 2. In quants one answer is definitely wrong(st after the realized it just after the paper).
Quants was of moderate level, no T & D, T & W. Could not solve one question on Geometry. The one on co-ordinate geo was easy and most of them were doable. Two of the DI sets were easy and doable.
Regarding section 2, First LR was a sitter, very easy. RC's were of moderate difficulty and one on Language Comprehension was difficult.
Overall should I have attempted atleast 10 more. Huge disappointment. Lets wait for the 14th.

😠 Any guess on %tile?

plz predict my %tile in section 2(expecting 15-18 marks in sec 2)

Has anyone got the RC on topic "realists and fundamentalists" in today's paper ??

1) How many attempts you have made?

--- Section 1( 16 attempts- maximum 1 will be wrong)

--- Section 2 (21 attempts; 90% accuracy)

2) Your last mock score?

-- 91 percentile around....

If you are there at repository thread, please provide the link here.

3) How was your experience of the test?

--- All I can say it was smooth.. except for some songs doing rounds in my head 😛 Moreover, The process was better managed than last year.

-- Talking about the Paper, It was of Moderate level; Kill the rumors about the last day toughness!!!

4) What was the surprise element for you?

-- No PnC, prob and No Sentence correction; This was the best gift i would have wished for!!

5) Any tips to handle the computer based exam better?

-- We will talk about next year! 😉

6) Your overall analysis of the exam. Toughness, new topics, sections etc.

-- -- Quant was moderate; One DI was tough or I can say bit complictaed

-- -- Verbal was moderate too; one RC was just too tough for Me; LR as usual this CAT, 2 moderate and one tough!

7) Any other query or something you would like to share.

-- -- i will surely manage marks around 85-95(that will be around 50%), So Expert Puys, throw some some light on my expected percentile.

CAT 11th nov.(morning slot)

Quant was tough but i did ok in it,but the real problem was verbal section.

2 out of 3 LR's were very tough nd time consuming,i spend a lot of tym in dese nd was not able to solve dese completely even after spending this much tym,due to which i got nervous and did rest of the section in a hurry. RC's were very lengthy(each of dem),dey were actually 1.5 times of CL mock RC's.I have a question,that last day hi aisa kyu kiya,abhi tak dey were giving atleast easy LR's,mai daily analysis padta tha,but dey changed it all at d last day.feeling disappointed nd a little cheated.


Nov - 11
Centre: SIMB College,Pune
Slot: 1st
Difficulty level : QA : Moderate, LR : Tough
Sec 1 Attempted 13 Questions . Accuracy of 100 % . Can only get 1 wrong if any . Sec 2 Attempted 14 questions with accuracy in the range of 90%. What %ile can i expect ?
P.S. 1st Attempt .I am not expecting a very good %ile. So lets see how this turns out to be :)

did any1 get d answer 4 ABC, PQR, XYZ venn diagram .. 3rd quest ??

I don't know as to what will happen with me as the section 2 was very tough for me(don't know about the others) . CAT exam has really raised the bars and I just hope I get through.


in section 2 , LRs were very time consuming and the other PC and PJ were very confusing as well.. Rest I think those who have good command over the language would have had a very nice feeling..

Don't know whats going to happen when the results come for me.. anyways stay blessed and be happy..
