Trend continued on 8th and then on 9th – Difficult & Lengthy DI-LR Section, with easier quants section and moderately difficult verbal section.
In both these slots, verbal section wasn’t all that easy as was presented in previous slots – RCs were difficult to comprehend and questions largely inferential. Vocabulary based questions too demanded good deal of understanding and word power – as context was not sufficient to arrive at the answer. 17+ attempts in verbal would be safe bet. Quantitative section had many direct questions, thrown in with a few tricky ones. If a student has a good eye for questions, one can safely attempt up to 16 questions. LR-DI section was surely the toughest and lengthiest section – a few students have even stated the answer not being in option choices for a couple of questions. While 12+ attempts in this section should see a student scrap through sectional cut-off, overall attempts should be more than 47+.
While number of attempts shall always be subjected to accuracy to give you raw score, all the analysis on his site are based on assuming a fair accuracy of 80+% in Quantitative and DI-LR sections and 70+% in verbal section.

Hi,
I wrote CAT on 9th morning. Did u also notice some dicrepancies with DI question paper. For me, it appeared as if 6 questions were wrong in that section. Can u please contact me though my mail(vnkishore1989@gmail.com) so that we can have a small chat about that DI question paper.....
Hi Nand Kishor,
I possibly cannot help you with regard to this as I personally have not taken the test. My views are strictly based on my students who have taken CAT in various slots; and are speculative in nature.
