CAT-2010: 31st October Dossier

CAT-2010 – 31st October (Slot-1) 
  • Verbal Section was of average difficulty, with consistency being maintained in types of questions and difficulty levels. While attempts up to 15+ are registered, ideally one aspiring to 99.0+ %-ile must attempt 17+ questions in this section
  • Quants section was observed of above average difficulty, with a good mix of sitters and tricky question. Students who can identify tricky ones, can attempt up to 16+ questions.
  • LR/DI sections continued to be easy and doable, barring the fact that some caselets were time consuming. A student can safely attempt up to 17 questions; making total of 50 attempts.
  • Assuming 80% accuracy with 50 attempts, a raw score of 36.66 should surely put a student in serious contest.

CAT-2010 – 31st October (Slot-2)
  • A deviation from earlier slots – test in this slot was certainly little more difficult than all the previous slots.
  • Verbal section was tougher than earlier sections, and surprisingly Para-Completion questions were absent from the test. Ideal attempts could be 15+
  • Quants section followed similar pattern with questions demanding unique applications and concepts. Was trickier than earlier slots. One could attempt up to 14+ questions with comfortable accuracy.
  • DI-Reasoning Section was easier than the other two sections, with time consuming caselets. Attempts of 13+ can be considered ideal.
