AIMCAT 0908 analysis

Another 25-25-25 question AIMCAT with no changes what so ever. Indeed, AIMCATs now should bring the sense of uncertainty into the picture. However, Changes should be in a realm of possibility so here we go..
This AIMCAT was breazer for almost everyone. "DI was a piece of cake walk" as many says, but sets needed one to concentrate hard and do some heavy calculations. Yet, thethird set on TV channel and skill sets was very easy and one could have managed to score 20 marks here. Other sets were not that easy (At least for me). But, 1-2 questions from other sets were doable and so 30 marks here in DI was a valid target.
VA section was easy. FIJ (Facts, Inferences & Judgements) was a life saver. Questions were easy. One could have solved 4 out of 5 questions easily. Para completion question were also easy and 3 Qs out of 4 were sure shot. However, in case of RCs, selection played a major role. Last para was the easiest one and one should have attempted. With decent accuracy, one cold have scored around 3 Q correctly here. So overall 35+ was the valid target for anyone.
In QA section, there were a few very easy questions. For e.g Question No. 54, 57, 59, 63,69,70,75 were simple and could have been solved with 100% accuracy..so i think 22+ was a decent target.
My Scores:
QA : 22 :-(
DI 22 :-(
VA 40 :-)
OA: 84 (Could have managed 2-3 questions easily but dumbo me skipped them while solving)
So this is all about AIMCAT 0980..You are free to put your comments.

Rock On !! and AIMCAT 909

:) as you see the title you might think i have rocked on this AIMCAT 909 but unfortunately the converse is true. Yes, this post is all about two different topics. One about the latest movie i saw Rock ON !! and another, AIMCAT 909.

Hmmm, which one shoul i discuss first? Anyways, lets Rock On !!

As the title of a movie says, movie is AWESOME, FANTASTIC, Excellent. I can not describe it in words. After long tiring days of study this movie indeed rocked me on. Every single aspect of movie was specificly managed and executed. One will never get bored while watching this movie, not even for a second. Farahan Akthar has rocked this movie, rather everyone has, but he was a real surprise when it comes to singing. His vocals are fantastic and music by Shankar, Eahesaan and Loy has put eveyone on to the floor. Story is also flawless. Overall a really good movie to watch, rather a must watch movie.

Now let us come back to AIMCAT 0909. This AIMCAT must have shocked everyone one. Most will say this was the toughest of this season. But i think a few question from VA and QA were doable although not sitters. If one was dependent on sitters to clear the cut offs then this AIMCAT would have been a nightmare for one.

VA section, although not to easy but was the easiest of all other sections and had a few doable questions. The RC passage on Religion-based classification has tw oquestion doable. Rc on War also had 1-2 questions doable. TIME is saying that Upstreme Downstreme argument was difficult and one should have preffered Parajumbles over the previous one but i disagree to this. These question had two very easy questions like Q 12 and 13. Also question on word replacement was also easy (Q 7).

QA section has some really easy questions for e.g. Q 21,26,32,35 and 36 were easy and manageble. But again clearing the cut offs was totally dependent on selection of questions. I am not the expert in this section so i would not talk about it much.

DI section was the nemisis. The toughest of all sections. It was veryt difficult for me to find even a single question to solve. However, DI set 1 was near about doable and the last was the hardest of all.

Overall, i think solving 5 questions with 100% accuracy in 45 mins for each of your stronger section and 5-6 question with 100% accuracy in 60 mins for the difficult or weaker section was the key to clear the cut offs. I was able to do so in VA and QA but as the adage says, "Lalach Buri Bala Hai", after solving 5-6 question from VA and QA, i was tempted to solve more questions and here my negative marking started and i lost the marks earned in earlier 5 questions eventually leading to not clearing even half of the cut offs.Well, this is the story about my experience of AIMCAT 0909. Lets see what AIMCAT 0908 has in its kitty to offer. But one thing i really want to say is, one can not totally dismiss the chances of appearing this kinda paper in CAT 2008.
