Analysis of CAT 2010

Tutorial (optional): Duration - 15 minutes.

It is advisable that students should go through the tutorial once, even if they have seen it before.

Test Duration:

The actual duration of the test is 2 hours and 15 minutes (135 Minutes).

Sections covered:

(1) Verbal Ability (20 Questions)

(2) Quantitative Ability (20 Questions)

(3) Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (20 Questions).

These three sections are consistent with the knowledge domains historically assessed by the IIM

in the previous year CAT Exams and are also aligned with the content areas covered in

equivalent global admission examinations that measure performance along similar scales like

GMAT.

Negative Marking:

IIM DEMO player does state that “Wrong answer carries negative point (-1). Therefore it is to

student’s advantage to answer every question correctly. If you are unsure of your answer, you can

MARK the question for review if time permits”

Highlighting Text:

You can highlight text in group questions like RCs. You can make multiple highlights in a

particular screen, which gets deleted once you switch to the next screen. It is very helpful in RC

section.


Reviewing Questions (Mark a question):

Students can mark a question to come back to it later and can then Review either all the

questions or review only the marked questions or review only the incomplete questions. The

review shows a list of all the questions, but it will not directly give a count of the questions

attempted or to be attempted.

Rough work:

Pencils, eraser and a paper booklet of 4 A4 size papers will be provided. Students will not be

allowed to take their own stationary into the computer lab. In case of broken or blunt pencil points,

your pencil will be replaced immediately.

Ending the test:

After clicking the END button at the bottom of the screen you are immediately get a popup box

asking you whether you are sure about quitting the test.

Timer:

The timer is present on the screen at all time and shows the time remaining till the end of the test.

At the end of the test, when your time runs out, you will be automatically logged out of the test and

a screen with “You have run out of time” text will be visible. Students can hide this timer.
