Bigger debate:-

Which one was tougher:-

Slot 1 or Slot 2?

Scaled score is higher/lower than the raw score?

Ā CAT-2017 Slot 1 ANALYSIS:
VARC: Ā As simple as it can be, almost similar to CAT-2016. Ā 

85 percentile: (Raw score 36 to 39),Ā 

99 percentile: (Raw score 60 to 66)


DILR: Ā Tougher than any MOCK CAT of this season. Tougher than CAT 2016.

85 percentile: (Raw score 15 to 17), Ā 

99 percentile: (Raw score 37 to 40)


QA: Ā Perhaps easier after CAT-2014. Ā 

85 percentile: (Raw score 30 to 33), Ā 

99 percentile: (Raw score 60 to 63)Ā Ā 


Reviews : from friendsĀ 


Slot 1 : VARC : Decent level. Like last year

DILR : Very Difficult.Ā 

Quant : Easy


Slot 2 : VARC : same

DILR : people are not too vocal about difficulty, so assumption is a bit lower than slot 1

QA : marginally more moderate than Slot 1


Overall, SLOT 2 : EASIER

P.S.: Don't throw shoes at me for this post :)

I wont be posting any question or ask for review here

I just wanted to say that there are people who spent time to fill the review form at the end of the exam :D šŸ‘ŒĀ 

mere side waala toh CAT se seriously uss form ko bhar raha thaĀ 

Slot 2Ā 

My take : VARC : Easy to moderateĀ 

LRDI : DifficultĀ 

QA : Esay to ModerateĀ 

My performance

I am expecting 40+ in VARC , 30+ in LRDI and 35+ in QA ..How much percentile can I expect ?

I know that you all would be either excited or curious or depressed after giving the CAT exam today and would be really thinking about this exam through the next few days or even weeks. After experiencing this for past 2-3 years, what I feel is that you should just forget about cat. There will be a lot of debate about which slot was tougher, what is the expected cut off for IIMs, how much score should i expect and so on and on. This will be a never ending debate and you will end up wasting a lot of time.

I would say you must start preparing for IIFT or XAT right away without wasting any time as these two are also very crucial exams which can decide your whole career.Ā 

Some of you might believe your cat went great today or some of you just might have got tired preparing for CAT, but don't think of celebrating or taking a vacation right now. Each day matters and it is possible that at the end your cat results are opposite of what you were expecting.Ā 

So start of preparing for the upcoming exams latest by tomorrow and about XAT, I would say it really is one of those exams which surely tests your skills thoroughly giving you a lot of time to think unlike CAT which is more of speed based. So even if you end up scoring well in CAT, it's okay spending time for other exams as you wouldn't regret later because the interviews and GDs are also there and it is possible that even scoring 99.9 may not land you in ABC!

All the best!

My Slot 2 Attempts:-

VARC -30

LIDR - 13

QA - 19

Dismal performance, Not expecting anything.

after giving cat 16 and cat 17 i feel like i'm specifically retarded in logical thinking.
