As usual, CAT has come up with some diversity this time too, what is it?
The way scores will be decalerd :
Reducing the result day axiety, now you can check your score by an email or SMS or on website.

However, what we can expect in the CAT2008? As we all know CAT is to expect the unexpected. But if you have gone throught the bulletine, the timings are same i.e. TWO HOUR AND HALF. So can we expect number of question to be same or more? According to Munir Lokhadwala on Pagalguy, the number of questions will increase and the paper would be mix of difficult and easy quesstions.

what ever you can conclude, but one thing is sure, this notification has given me a motivation to study, to fight. So forget your scores of AIMCATs (if your scores are not good) and come lets start the studies again, lets win..

AIMCAT 0917 analysis

Another one shot of AIMCAT and the very firts AIMCAT with sub-sections of this season. The test was moreover on the platform of CAT 2005 which had the sub-sections and it has been around 3 years CAT have not used this type, so it was a good experience for everyone of us who is aiming to bell the CAT this year.
Well, Starting with the analysis, as TIME says test was easier than that of CAT 2007 paper.
VA:
With only one easy question, numbered 15, this section was more over of medium level of difficulty. However many and even i myself are victim of this sub-section thing. Section - A was given weightage of only 20% and there were 10 questions. One must have thought to solve some question of this section and then go to Sec- B but as i said, at least i was accustomed to give equal time to every section, a messed up was obvious. But im ust say it is good to do all mistakes in Mocks.
Question wiht mediaum difficulty were 1,3,5,6,8,11,16,17,18,19,2,22,23,24,26and 29 and resr were difficult. Cut offs are expected around 30 marks
QA:
I must say i am doing every possible misyke in AIMCATs in QA section only. Anyways, this section had few easy question, numbered 31,34,36,35. Cut off of this section is expected around 32 marks.

DI:
Some sets from section A were really easy. The set of players playing diff. games and living in diff cities was really simple. Another set on Credit cards was very easy (I am fool to solve it wrong :( )
Section - B , the first set was quite lengthy, but i must say the secod question and the last from this set were really easy. Rest sets were more over of the difficult level.
Cut offs are expected around 28 makrs
Overall cut offs for 1 IIM call are around 110 +

Regarding my scores?? i am analyzing the test right now, i will update as soon as i finish analyzing..
