On the whole the level of the test was easy to moderate. Many of the questions were of easy & moderate level barring a few difficult questions so the key to getting a good percentile was selection of questions so as to leave difficult questions and save the time for easy and moderate level questions.
The Quant and DI section was very easy with 28 easy and only 2 medium level questions. Most of questions from Quant were from the topics like Percentage (6 easy questions), SI/CI (5 easy), and Basic Algebra (1 easy & 1 medium), Time speed and distance (1 easy). The other topics with lesser number of questions were ratio (3 easy), Profit & Loss (5 easy), and stocks & shares (2 easy).
Reasoning had questions from topics namely Series (all 3 easy), Odd man out (1 easy) and syllogism (2 easy & 1 medium). There was no question on either Tables or graphs.
In order to generate a percentile of 90+ a student should have ideally attempted around 26 - 28 questions with 90% accuracy.

The overall feel of the paper was easy to moderate. Reasoning was having mostly easy questions. So the strategy was simply to follow the instructions carefully given in the questions and to only attempt the easy questions by carefully selecting them. While the strategy for Quant part would be to keep on solving the questions coming on your way and straight away leaving the questions in which you were likely to stick due to difficult calculations. In verbal section, focus should have been on reading comprehension and vocabulary which covered almost 70% of the paper. For GK, one should focus on those questions which one knows rather than wasting time.
