On the whole the level of the test was very tough as there were no easy questions in the entire test. The important factor was selection of appropriate questions to attempt. The quant section was as tough as reasoning section in this exam. One peculiar thing in this paper was that there were clusters of medium and difficult questions, so one had to skip the difficult cluster and to move to medium level cluster quickly. Verbal section was extremely difficult. The key to getting a good percentile was time management and selection of questions without losing composure.
The first passage (1-4) based on ‘violation of privacy and its ramifications’ was difficult to understand and questions based on it were also difficult. The second passage (5-8) based on ‘impact of global warming on humans & environment’ was again tough and questions based on it were very tough. The third passage (9-12) based on ‘deep philosophical nature of morality’ was moderate and questions based on it were also moderate. The fourth passage (13-16) based on ‘understanding reality of time using string theory’ was tricky in terms of understanding and questions based on it were also tricky. The questions (17 &18) based on summary were difficult. The questions (19 & 20) based on best-fit were difficult. The questions (21 & 22) based on misfit were moderate. The questions (23 &24) based on sentence rearrangement were moderate. Overall, feel of the section was very tough. However, one could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting 12-14 questions with 70-75% accuracy.
The difficulty level of DI was moderate to tough. There were only two manageable blocks (Marwaha Motors is the largest carand In the Cricket Premier League (CPL) and rest were difficult. So one need to be very cautious while selecting the block in such type of paper. A good student could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting around 6-8 questions with approx. 80% accuracy.
Students found this section also difficult. There were no easy questions in this section so selection of questions was important to crack this section. There were questions from varied topics like Geometry, Basic Numbers, Basic Algebra, Progression And Series, Arithmetic (Percentages/Time and Work/Mixtures/Percentages/Allgation/Ratios). A good student could have scored 90+ percentile by attempting around 8 questions with approx. 85% accuracy.
The overall feel of the paper was very tough, though 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 easily manage 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, SR, best-fit & odd one out. One must focus on contextual vocabulary to understand and score well in passages &summary-based questions. Questions such as sentence rearrangement and Best-fit require analysis and knowledge of tricks to answer the questions. It is not advisable to spend too much time on TITA questions especially in the verbal section.
