CL Proc Mock 2 Cat 2011 ( Please Do Not open if you have not taken the test)

My first proc this season, wrote it in unproctored mode,

QA 18A, 5W 34 (94.x)
DI 20A, 5W 40 (98.x)
VA 20A, 6W 36 (99.9x)

OA 110 (99.8x)

Need to minimize my mistakes in Quant/DI, but a decent start to the season
after my 87%ile in CAT 2010


Good that you wrote the Mock .

My VA woes are getting worse day by day..

QA 13C,3W = 36 (96.XX%tile)
VA 4C,11W = 1 :nono: (37.XX)
DI 11C,1W = 32 (93.3%tile)
OA 28C,15W = 69 (91.XX%tile)

Another forgetful performance. :(

Need to work on VA properly before proc Mock 3.

Wrote in the unproctored format...dnt think will be giving ne of the proc mocks at the centre :|
QA - 92.3(12c 3w)
VA - 99.3(12c 8w)
DI - 99.4(15c 1w)

OA 99.70 (39c 12w)

It was 2^2*3^3*5^2*10^2=2^4*3^3*5^4
So answer is 4*5 (coming from power of 3 & 5 )=20
Why did you change the question ?
*************************************************************************
For me first 99%ile of the season , after disastrous performance in DI in AIMCAT 1219 a decent show in DI
Took it in unproc format as I registered two days back and just finished
QA-43 (15 C & 2 W)& 99.3 %ile
DI- 37 (13 C & 2W) & 97.2%ile
VA - 16 (7C & 5W) & 93.2%ile
OA- 96 ( 35C & 9W) 99.26%ile
In the three mocks I have taken till now I got 2 wrong in quant each time and mostly silly mistakes.
Hope to keep it up but then how does it matter ? Prometric baba ke aage hum kya kare ?


Good show mate
Don't worry...Sab kuch sahi hoga..Prometric will not steal the show,it is we who will..
"If not us, who?
If not now, when?"...Angels & Demons
It was 2^2*3^3*5^2*10^2=2^4*3^3*5^4
So answer is 4*5 (coming from power of 3 & 5 )=20

Arey yar as I said...budhapa aa gaya hai ab retaining power weak ho gayi hai

sahi baat hai.....how does it matter :splat:

Btw we have the exact same scores in quant and DI 😉
Q.28 glass of brandy at night may affect (A)/effect (B) his recovery.
Here affect is the right word and not effect as suggested by CL

Q.29 The novelist amended (A)/emended (B) the manuscript before sending it to his publisher.

Both are correct. Infact emended is rarely used and amended should be preferred over it


There were many ambiguities in RCs as well.

Please correct me if I am wrong



For the first one actually both are correct. But if you go by doctor's opinion it wud be effect. Actually doctors' prescribe brandy at times

We generally use amend while we change or modify laws or rules.
Amendment in constitution.

I don't think affect will be the right word.
Here brandy is being referred as the cure not the other way round.
So brandy will effect the cure not affect it.
Generally affect is used towards affliction or in negative sense.
Effect as in case used as remedy, to bring change .


For next one emended should be used,
because emend is srictly used for scholarly articles, though amendment can also be used.But here on context of manuscript emend ranks higher.

Just gave the mock after downloading it :

QA - 17C 0 W - 51
DI - 11C 1W - 32
VA - 9C 4 W - 23
---------
106

Need to improve my speed in DI , VA was okay considering it was slightly above cat level , and like everybody , got that affect/effect wala wrong.

My aim is to maximise quant and di and optimize VA

Please Explain this Question---
According to me the answer should be a)

In a country called XYZ, the number of patients changes every year. The graph given below shows the percentage change in the number of patients w.r.t. the previous year. The table given below shows the number of hospitals available in XYZ. The number of patients in 1999 were 2,00,000.




The Unhealthiness Index of XYZ for a year is defined as the number of patients per hospital in the country.
53. Find the year for which the Unhealthiness Index of XYZ was the maximum.
(a) 2000 (b) 2003 (c) 2004 (d) 2006

(a) 2000 (b) 2003 (c) 2004 (d) 2006


The first change i.e 20% should give No. of patients in 2000 as 2,40000
and it follows as
2001 156000
2002 195000
2003 214500
2004 107250
and so on..

Now when we divide No. of patients by no. of hospitals then in the year 2000 we get it max as -- 51.06
whereas in 2003 its 41.25

Please tell if i am doing something wrong.

ohh , I was taking the drop as +20-(-15)..
How did you get it that the drop has to be taken as 15% ?

Its given in the question that change is w.r.t previous year......so its 15%change w.r.t. previous year's value.....

Effect is correct I think.
Firsty, Affect=Influence,effect=a change (Final change/result) due to something.Now recovery of the patient is OVERALL healing of that person.Had it been recovering process/recovering rate then affect would have suited.But since effect is final result of drinking glass of brandy(on a regular basis) understood)so effect is suited here.
Hope this helps.

plsss puys resolve my query regarding this ques....

40. Why does Maren quote the lines of Somali poet Ali Dhux?
(a) To draw an analogy between the humanitarians and the man who provides help in finding lost
camels.
(b) To highlight the hidden motive behind humanitarianism.
(c) To show humanitarians in poor light by comparing them with someone who does philanthropy
with an ulterior motive.
(d) To show that humanitarians are not concerned with the acts of their kindness

i think answr to this ques can be option c also as understood from last para of the passage by the usage of word like dishonest,damaging etc...

Took the test at home, VA was ridiculous. The approach to solve parajumbles taught by TIME people killed me here. Here are my scores any way.

QA - 8C 1 W 23
VA - 5C 13 W 2 :banghead: :banghead::banghead::banghead:
LDI - 11C 1W 32
OA - 24C 15W 57

Can somebody please tell me the percentiles if possible thanks :)


Found verbal a nut, seriously. After scoring so high in AIMCATs, procs show me what the verbal fuss is all about. Happy to cross 20 in QA first time ever in a mock.
