THE ESSAY SECTION:

My suggestion is to think for a while, write down whatever comes to you, and only then start typing. U have 30 minutes. Use each minute carefully. There’s nothing to celebrate in finishing it in 15-20 mins. Ok, so the scores aren’t that important, but that doesn’t mean u don’t take it seriously. I don’t know what my score will be, but I’m happy about what I wrote.

THE MATH SECTION:


CAT TO OFFER 560 NEW IIM SEATS THIS YEAR

  • New IIM shall admit 140 students each.

LAST MINUTE TIPS FOR CAT

What should be the Optimum Strategy for CAT?

There should be no fiddling with your Test-taking strategy at this late stage. As long as you know that the strategy you are using is giving you rewards, don’t change it… For example, you would know if your best bet is to scan a passage and then move onto to the questions, while another person could be more at ease scanning questions before going onto the passage. So just stick to whatever works best for you.

  • Number of questions in all three sections was 20.

  • Paper pattern was almost similar to previous CATs although the paper was a notch easier than CAT 2008
  • Many centres across India faced technical problems due to which some centres had to delay the exam and postpone it to a later date.
  • While English was similar in difficulty level as last year, the RC passages were shorter. Quant was easier than the previous years’. DI section was a little time consuming.
  • Details about negative marking not specified
