@seetharam7 thanks man πŸ˜ƒ

@pugna not taking IIFT

I found this site to be extremely useful : http://www.indiabix.com/aptitude/questions-and-answers/


Reasoning, Aptitude etc , TOPIC wise and important formulae..everything..

Can someone help me out ? In the confirmation mail it's written time-9am and appointment length-135min. Does it mean my test starts by 9am or i have to reach the centre by 9am ?


@raku1989 @pugna @joethaliath
@seetharam7 You have to reach by 8:15 , the test starts at 9am

I just came returned after taking NMAT ..

Well , Quant was quite okay . Covered topics like T&w;, t&s; , quadratic , geometry , numbers , percentages, 1 p&C; ... no questions from mixtures , partnerships etc which I had actually prepared wel 😞

Coming to DI , goodness gracious , they were tougher than CAT. I had 3 axes in almost all the DI sets. Hmmm , I wonder if i wil be able to clear the cut offs here

Language section was easy. Passage was quite light and had easy questions.

LR , the contemporary LR sets were on the tougher side having more than 2 parameters .

Lets see , for me personally , it was better than CAT , but whether it will be sufficient or not , i have no idea.

P.S : Same slot had different questions
@joethaliath Where is it mentioned that we have to reach by 8.15 ? Also, is the interface same as prometric's ? Do we have review unattempted, review marked etc options ?
@seetharam7 they have mentioned that we should report 45minuts before the testing time . In that confirmation page , bottom - first point

The interface is similar to CAT in the sense the features are the same .

You can mark the questions ( FLAG is the word used here) , TF inmat interface is the closest i guess.

One thing is that the review option is available only at the end of the section.

do we have to pay extra for getting IIFT , SNAP FLT papers from CL ?

I had enrolled for the 10 proc + 20 unproc online ..

and can someone forward me the TIME GK material ?

nanni in advance

@dead_alive Just go through the below thread. Someone posted the link to a dropbox with the TIME stuff. But, I don't remember on which page.

@seetharam7 all the best for NMAT πŸ˜ƒ

Guys..been a way from PG a couple of days... had a couple of audits to take care & stuff

@joethaliath @pugna Sorry for not wishing earlier... Hope you guys did well !!! Keep your fingers crossed... infact keep everything crossed if possible !!!
Aftab, atleast you have a CAT in the bag at the very least

@seetharam7 ALL THE VERY BEST BRO !!!


On a personal front, time to dust off those Quant books...Right now involved in a closely fought staring contest b/w me & the dust bugs on them

@joethaliath It's Amaze rt..the first diesel car of Honda !!

@thevicky Many Many Happy Returns of the day bro !! Looks like i logged in on the rt day !!
@joethaliath @Kevin88 Thanks. I feel weird about tomo's exam. No tension or "desperate feeling" to score high. It's the opposite of what I felt the day before CAT Hope it turns out well !
@Kevin88 : lol i dont think so...i already knw i hav messed up qa :)

NMAT


Whatever could go wrong, went wrong.
Order - verbal, reasoning, quant

Verbal - Synonyms and antonyms were Got stuck between two options in one FIB and 1 PJ.

Reasoning - No matrix questions. F**ked up series and coding-decoding. There were just 2 LR sets ( @joethaliath Got the one with the pond and 2 variables, didn't get) - didn't get one. 2 venn diagram questions. The rest were assumption, strong weak etc. More than half the paper was on critical reasoning and i always get those questions wrong in mocks.

Quant - Opened the section. 1st 15 questions were DI and everything was calculation intensive. There was one with 2 pie charts and a table with %values (and the %s weren't even round figures). I mean WTF ? CAT DI was easier. Just 2 questions on DS. The rest were quant but by that time i had had enough.

Not going for a retake.

Guys, i won't be solving questions for a while. Have assignments and stuff of TCS to do before i join. Every other person in my batch started it one month back.


@Kevin88 Yes , it is Amaze πŸ˜ƒ correct. Yes , have to start XAT preps slowly. First of all , i need to take the previous year XAT paper to get a feel of what is in store. Going to write xat for the first time.
@Kevin88 hey thanks bro,, howz the prep for xat ?

Hey, is it true that the nmat retake will be tougher than the 1st attempt ? Also, how many days before we can retake ? Also, do we get to see the dates available for retake before paying the fee ?


@raku1989 @Zedai
@seetharam7 I dont know about whether the 2nd attempt will be tougher or not.

We can go for a retake only after 15days after the first attempt . Yes, we can see the dates. I had chumma checked yest. I guess we have only 3 available dates left as far as Cochin center is concerned. end of novemebr, early december( dont remember exact)
