Because making lots of errors in tense situations is always a possibility. :/ VA hai after all.

I know mate that you have been at the receiving end as well. Probably, had Prometric given us raw scores instead of scaled scores, our section 2 scores would have looked better.
We have to realize that at the end of it all, it is tough to be hundred percent sure of your English answers.

For instance, I was expecting a 17 C 6W in the second section, and trust me, this was one of my poorer performances of the season, so I was obviously not feeling good about it. The thing is that it could easily have been a 16 C 7W or even a 15 C 8W, and that doesn't look healthy at all, because I could have easily got a few toughies wrong which could have been responsible for the dip in my percentile. So, all in all, it's only me who is to be blamed for my debacle.

I cannot comment about your performance, but trust me accepting it all will give you strength to stand up, dust it off, and fight it out for one more time. You will learn a lot from this experience, and who knows, we may see you as the next 100 percentiler.

Guys let it go man....this discussion can go on for hours and still not change anything..you cant fight the system so the best thing would be adapt to it / accept it..we can discuss it over and over ..cry for it ..fight for it..and it still will not change anything...@bhargav.nitc : If you can crack it ones m sure you can do it again..trust yourself and do not waste time in these futile discussions as it will not help you in any which way..Am sure you are a talented lad ..and will do well in life...CAT is just a medium to reach your ultimate goal ...and the end of the day what matters is whether you are able to achieve what you set out for...and trust me there are many different ways to achieve your goal..CAT happens to be just one of it...if you do not like the online format you have a P&P; format as well..two of the most reputed college still follow the old system i.e. XAT and IIFT...crack them ..And bro let me tell you life is really hard and at times unfair beyond imagination...but mark my words "Talent never dies"...if you have it you will eventually do well...trust yourself and have faith and hope...Your duty as an aspirant is to strive for excellence, perfection and success will be yours...I have seen it happen so many times ...but what I have also seen is that fate and luck could not eventually win over those people who were determined , bright and hard working..My advice : If this season is over for you take some times off..do not think of what happened coz its not under your control anymore rather thin over the things that are...Start again and bounce back..do not pressurize yourself with the number of questions to attempt etc...in CAT accuracy matters..it really does..Rest is upto you bro..you can complaint all you want but it still wont change the process or your CAT score, however you can work hard and prove it to yourself that you can perform even in situations that are unfriendly to you..ATB brother!!!!
Thanks a lot for your inspirational post bro..

I'm neither cribbing nor complaining abt CAT format at all.. My only point of worry was I never expected such a low score all because of those wrong questions.. Still I'm not able to digest the fact had it been coz of normalization or difficulty level, I would have accepted.. Still then I knw nothing can be changed & also not hoping something will be changed.. Just venting out my disappointment

Just hoping that my XAT result goes well so that if I get a call, I'll have one last chance to prove myself

I knw life is not all abt getting into IIMs or FMS or XLRI.. I knw my goal pretty well & as u said, ur post made me stronger than ever.. I promise I'll hit back hard !!

@bhargav.nitc Buddy, I was really disheartened after reading your CAT experience. But, I would not say that this exam is unfair. It has been proven that Item Response Theory (IRT), which is used by CAT, is a much more effective method to identify the top performing candidates than Classical Test Theory (Used by all other exams in India). It is very clear that if you get a difficult question correct, you get rewarded suitably, and if you get it wrong you get penalized accordingly. That is why accuracy is the only saving grace. The only problem with CAT is that they should disclose this to the public. It will save them from a lot of bad mouthing and the candidates will know how exactly they are getting their percentiles.Don't worry, if you believe you're good, you'll nail it sooner or later. Just don't lose the faith!PS: I got screwed up as well (Sec 1: 99.78 Sec 2: 66.66- no calls obviously), but I strongly believe in the system, as only believing in it keeps you going!Signing off ManalsuDDDT '12CAT 2012 97.59%ile

Hi All,

Sharing the set of PI questions that might form a good percentage of questions asked to you in PIs across B-Schools!!
All the best!

Any senior who is from WBUT, please inform that do we need to show any proof of DGPA to Percentage conversion? I dint find any such formula for that i directly multiplied my DGPA with 10 to get the percentage. Please inform me as my IIM A & B dream is associated with it
