[Official] CAT 2013 Aspirants






i was wondering, does any test other than cat has this normalization process, from what i have heard gmat is a computer adaptive test where each correct answer leads to a more difficult question and marks allotted to this question is higher than previous one, whereas each wrong answer leads to a easy question and marks allotted to it are less than previous one... So there is no normalization in gmat i think.... Is cat the only test which uses normalization technique???

Hi Everyone..after writing CAT 2013, how to motivate yourself again:( 😞 and how to prepare for GK?? i know for the fact that you cant prepare for gk in a month but still would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

This is one of my friend's experience that was mailed to prometric as well. :

I have given my CAT today during 10:00 AM - 12:20 PM

Center: Edutech Online, NC-2C, Near Sriram Hospital, Above Addidas & Benetton showroom, Main Road No.2, Kankarbagh, Patna Bihar 800020

I had faced a number of issues today. Let me first explain you the condition of the room in which we were giving the exam. (I don't know how it qualified as a prometric centre!) It was a 10*7 ft room with 12 people sitting in one room for the exam. Now let me list down the issues I faced:

1. I had just started the exam and suddenly electricity went off. The stabilizers started to beep like anything. This was just the initial disturbance

2. Just after that, my mouse stopped working. I told the invigilator. He started correcting that mouse itself by removing the CPU from the rack and checking the connection. Even then when it was not working, I asked him to change it but he did not pay heed to what I was saying. But luckily after 5 minutes the mouse started working.

3. I thought that would be the end of it. But Noooo! There was one of my fellow mates whose exam had some issue and thus he was not able to start his exam. Another invigilator, who must be a member of the prometric team came to the room and started talking to someone (who must be at a higher level) to resolve the issue. I agree that he was doing his job, but he could have made the calls outside the room also. I think mobile phones have connectivity everywhere!

4. To add to all this commotion, the invigilator of the room kept going outside the room in every 5 minutes. When ever he left the room the door made an irritating sound disturbing everyone.

All these exams that you conduct must not be of importance to you and your team, but the results of these exams might be a life/death situation for a student. The student might have to wait for another year and prepare for one more year!

Can anyone please share the past year IIFt entrance exam papers here(in the printable format) ?

Thanks!
Is there any action that the IIMs or Prometric is taking against the leaked and repeated Quant questions?

I am asking this because apart from the infamous ant question which was asked in almost 80% of the slots, there were many other questions which were leaked and were repeated on consecutive days. Many students instead of preparing for CAT are just trying to find glory through an easier way. i.e. by looking for repeated questions on social networking sites or by desperately asking other students who were done with their CAT about the questions which they had in their respective slots.

This is unfair to those students who did not know about the repeated questions as they must have slogged for about 4-5 crucial minutes to answer that one question whereas those who already knew the answer must have marked it within seconds. Also there were slots where about 7-8 questions had been repeated (which were leaked). If Prometric has said to have 40 different paper sets for 20 odd days of the exam then why was there a need to repeat questions?

For those who luckily got a few repeated questions in your slot, I know it feels great knowing the answer to a question beforehand and simply marking it within seconds without even solving it, but think about it ethically. It is not your fault that you knew the questions already but what if you were unaware about any such questions and later after the exam you overhear someone from your center in the background telling his friend on call "Arrey kya mast paper tha. Woh facebook wale group me se 5 questions repeat hua. Unka fatafat answer mark kar diya bina solve kiye."?

For those who have really striven hard for this CAT would agree with me. There are students for whom CAT is a matter of life and death, a waste of an year, a way to bring out their families out of the financial crisis faced by them and what not. If a deserving student misses his/her chance to get a call from the reputed institutes just because someone else got through as this someone else had known about some repeated questions which were luckily present in his/her slot, not only giving him extra marks without actually testing his aptitude but also providing him/her extra time to deal with other questions.

IIMs and Prometric must take this matter seriously as this is also a question of their reputation. Students have a big hope from the normalization technique followed by the IIMs. We believe it is fair and unbiased. But if this issue is not taken into consideration then the normalization won't be justified. The violation of the NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is not a small issue to be overlooked.

So, puys, is there anyway we can do anything about it take this to the concerned authority?
