On the whole the level of the test was moderate to tough. The important factor was selection of appropriate questions to attempt. The quant section was slightly easier than 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 (2-5) examined how ideology shaped social beliefs, reinforced or challenged power structures, evolved with changing conditions, and influenced politics, society, and architecture. The passage was slightly tricky to understand and questions based on it were moderate. The second passage (7-10) – examined how music had evolved through cultural, biological, historical, environmental, and commercial influences, while questioning whether such changes truly represented degeneration or merely reflected shifting human experiences and preferences. The passage was easy to understand but the questions based on it were a mixed bag. All the questions were either moderate or difficult except for questions (9 &10). The third passage (12-15) examined how the fashion industry had encouraged excessive consumption and unsustainable practices while advocating a shift toward slower, more ethical, durable, and environmentally responsible fashion. The passage as well as questions based it were tricky. The fourth passage (21 -24) examined how Meta had leveraged Instagram’s vast user base to rapidly expand threads, raising concerns about market dominance, competition, data aggregation, consumer harm, and the privacy rights of Indian users. The questions (1 & 16) based on best – fit were easy and moderate respectively. The questions (6 & 11) based on summary were moderate. The questions (17 & 18) based on sentence rearrangement were moderate. The questions (19 & 20) based on finding the misfit were again moderate. 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% accuracy.
The difficulty level of DI was difficult than quant this time. There were 3 easy, 10 medium and 9 difficult question in this section. The blocks (A survey was conducted in four classes of BD Higher Secondary School & Six digits are arranged in the shape of a triangle – one digit at the apex, two digits in the next row and three digits in the lowest row) were easy and should have been attempted.
In this section, one could have fetched 90+ percentile by attempting 8--10 questions with approx. 80 % accuracy.
Students found this section easier than DI. The Quantitative section had 4 easy, 13 medium and 5 difficult questions. Selection of questions was important to crack this section. There were questions from varied topics like Geometry, Basic Numbers, Basic Algebra, Progression & Series, Arithmetic and Work/Mixtures/Percentages/Allgation/Ratios.
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 moderate to 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.
