 TEST DURATION & PATTERN Q.1) How many sections are there in the test? Ans. There will be two separately timed sections in the test. The sections are (a) Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation (b) Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning. Q.2) How many questions are there in each of these sections? Ans. There will be 30 questions in each section. Q.3) Can I move back and forth between the two sections? Ans. No, each section will be timed separately. Once a section ends, candidates can no longer go back to it. Q.4) Can I choose which section to attempt first? Ans. No, candidates will be presented with the section on Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation first, followed by Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning. Q.5) How will the separately timed sections work? Ans. There will be an on-screen timer counting down from 1 hour 10 mins (i.e. 70 minutes) once a section begins. When the time is up, that section will end and you will not be able to go back to it. The second section will then begin and the on-screen timer will start counting down from 1 hour 10 minutes again. Once the second section ends, the test will end. Q.6) Can I start on the second section if I finish the first section before the 70 minutes are up? Ans. No, you will not have the ability to end the first section before the first 70 minutes are up. However, you will be given an option to end the second section, and therefore your test, before the second 70 minutes are up. If you choose to end your test before the full duration is up, you will be required to wait at your testing station until everyone is dismissed by the test administrator. Q.7) What is the duration of the test? Ans. Each of the sections will be 1 hour and 10 minutes (i.e. 70 minutes). Including a 15-minute tutorial before the start of the test which candidates are advised to go through, the total duration of the test will be 2 hours and 35 minutes. Q.8) What is the tutorial? Ans. The tutorial provides a series of screens that will orient you to the computer-based CAT. This will give you an opportunity to try the various features, including how to navigate between questions in a section, review questions, etc. The tutorial has a total duration of 15 minutes and candidates are advised to go through it entirely before starting the actual exam sections. For a similar preview, candidates can take a tour of the CAT 2012 Practice Test which will be available on www.catiim.in   For more details: http://www.catiim.in/ |

 CAT stands for Common Admission Test. By giving this exam you can pursue MBA from IIMs and other such top level B-Schools in India. Since it is conducted by the IIMs therefore its score is not accepted by any university but other A grade autonomous institutions accepts CAT scores. ~To appear for the CAT exam you need to score minimum 50% of marks at graduation level. If you are a final year student about to give the final exam or awaiting the result of the final year exam then also you can give this exam. ~There is percentage relaxation for the reserved category students. SC/ST candidates needs to secure 45% of marks at graduation level to sit for this exam. ~In the written examination generally MCQ type questions are asked and you have to answer all of them in just two and a half hours. There is no definite syllabus for this exam as such. It is more like an aptitude test which is aimed at testing the analytical skill of a student. ~Generally in the examination you will get questions from the following sections: **Verbal Ability **Reading Comprehension **Problem Solving **Data Interpretation ~You should not answer a question unless and until you are 100% sure about it because negative marking exists. For every wrong answer 1/4th of the total marks will be deducted from your original score. ~If you get selected then you will be called for the group discussion and personal interview session. Generally students who are able to get 99 percentile or above gets a call. As we all know that of all the MBA entrance exams CAT is the toughest to crack.
