Shared By: WWW.GovtJobsPortal.IN
This
years( 2018) CAT Test Cut-offs may be lower than 2017 test. Abraham Lincoln
famously said, 'Give me six hours to
chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.' If
there is something that has justified the intelligence of importance good
preparation deserves, it is CAT 2018.
Some
Questions and these Answer related to CAT 2018 Exam:
·
Did CAT 2018
spring a major surprise this year?
Well, no!
·
Was CAT 2018 more
difficult than CAT 2017?
Well, maybe not!
VARC
section: The
VARC section gave a mild surprise to students across both slots. Out went the
taken-for-granted 6-Q and 3-Q passages. Making a wonder entrance were five question
and four-question passages. That would
have immediately enlarged the complete length of the content that needed to be
read by test-takers to attempt the 24 RC questions. Decision-making for
those who weren’t looking to answer all the RCs would have been riskier, what
with all the RCs apparently of similar struggle level. The topics covered were
also more unusual than usual — environment,
biology, sociology, and history were the flavours of the day. The slight increase
in difficulty in RC was mostly compensated for by easier VA sections in both slots, the vast relief for scholars being
four-sentence Para Formation Questions. Odd-Man Out questions were also
low-hanging fruits, with summary questions proving to be somewhat riskier. All
in all, the VARC section hung around the same difficulty level as last year
2017; those who haven’t practiced a lot might have found it a little harder,
given the nature of options in some questions and the intensity of the
subjects.
DILR
Section: The
DILR Section was comparatively easier associated to CAT 2017, but make no
mistake, it was still very challenging in both slots of the CAT Exam. Though,
unlike last year, there was at least one doable set in both the slots along
with some manageable/fight-worthy sets. Both the slots saw some straightforward
set types - Distributions/Venn-Diagrams/Calculation
based sets. Nevertheless, the time that these sets demanded was a dampener
which would contribute to lowering the cut-offs.
Quant
Section: The
Quant Section in this CAT Exam 2018 proved
to be the high tide in both slots. CAT Exam under Quant section was easily a
few notches higher in difficulty level as compared to CAT 2017. This difficulty
level was tempted mainly by the need to work around fixed methods. In this Section
these is no low hanging fruits and very few questions could be solved without
breaking a sweat. Quant Questions were long, and some also had extra conditions
(read twists) that the scholars needed to watch out for. The number of Easy
questions saw a obviously drastic fall compared to last year which will
contribute to a steep fall in the cut-offs this year. The other seeming feature
of the QA section this year is the continued focus on arithmetic. Pure-maths
questions (on Functions, P&C, CG, etc.) were present, albeit lower in
number.
Within
mathematics, the focus on normal suspects like Numbers was very low in both the slots, while Geometry, TW and TD had
very good representation. While a very well-prepared scholar would not have
broken much sweat, those who were tentative on their homework would have found
out that the going was not as smooth as they would have liked it to be.
Overall: CAT 2018 Examination was a smooth practice for
scholars across the republic. From the students' viewpoint, it turned out to be
more or less on the expected lines with a bit of fluctuation in the difficulty
of sections here and there. The CAT Exam 2018 cut-offs are expected to be a tad
lower than those of last year 2018, overall, QA being the spoilsport this time
around.
