On the whole the level of the test was tough. The important factor was selection of appropriate questions to attempt. The quant section was as tough as reasoning section in this test. Verbal section was moderate to tough. One peculiar thing in this paper was that there were clusters of easy, moderate and difficult questions, so one had to skip the difficult cluster and to move to easy & medium level cluster quickly. The key to getting a good percentile was time management and selection of questions.
The first passage (3-6) explained how tribal imagination and art were shaped by memory, dreams, rituals, flexible space, and a free mixing of humans, nature, animals, time, and emotions. The passage was an interesting read but tricky as well. The questions based on it were all moderate. The second passage (7-10) discussed whether AI could truly understand and apply moral reasoning or whether it would only imitate human ethics while carrying forward human biases and limitations. The passage was moderate to tough and questions based on it were again moderate. The third passage (11-14) discussed how large dams were celebrated as symbols of modern progress but caused displacement, ecological destruction, colonial injustice, and long-term environmental risks. The passage was easy to understand but questions based on it were tricky. The fourth passage (21-24) discussed how India’s forest laws and policies continued colonial-style state control over forests, leading to conflict between conservation, revenue interests, and the rights of peasants and tribal communities. The passage was easy to moderate but questions were tricky. The questions (1 & 16) based on summary were moderate. The questions (2 & 18) based on finding misfit were moderate. The questions ((15 & 17) based on sentence rearrangement were also moderate. The questions (19 & 20) based on best- fit were tricky. Overall, feel of the section was moderate to tough. However, one could have easily scored 90+ percentile by attempting 16-18 questions with 75-80 percent accuracy.
The difficulty level of DI was difficult than quant this time. There were 4 medium and 18 difficult question in this section. There was no easy question in this section .The block (Seven children, Aarav, Bina, Chirag, Diya, Eshan, Farhan, and Gaurav, are sitting in a circle facing inside (not necessarily in the same order) and playing a game of ‘Passing the Buck’) was moderate and should have been attempted. In this section, one could have fetched 90+ percentile by attempting 6-8 questions with approx. 80 % accuracy.
Students found this section easy The Quantitative section had 1 easy, 14 medium and 7 difficult questions. Selection of questions was important to crack this section. There were questions from varied topics like Geometry, Basic Numbers, Basic Algebra, Progression And Series, and Arithmetic. A good student could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting around 10 – 12 questions with approx. 80% accuracy.
The overall feel of the paper was tough, and for the students who knew how to manage the time available to the best i.e., not wasting much time in lengthy and difficult questions, could have easily managed an overall good attempt. Most of the questions in quant section were from Arithmetic, Algebra, Number system and Geometry. For verbal section, one should have good reading speed & comprehension skills as there were 4 RCs based on different areas and also a few questions based on other areas such as summary, best-fit, rearrangement & odd one out. One must focus on contextual vocabulary to understand the key ideas and score well in passages & summary-based questions. Questions such as Best-fit, sentence rearrangement & misfit require analysis and knowledge of tricks to answer the questions.
