subject: Cat Practice Test: Don't Judge Qs, Focus On Review Function [print this page] With the launch of the Practice Test by the IIMs and Prometric the MBA aspirants are now not only getting access to a fully functional practice test, but also getting to know about the different elements of the CAT 2010 user interface, such as the buttons for navigation, the Review screen, Marked Questions, Incomplete Questions, Quit Test. The overall aim of the IIMs is to give all the MBA aspirants the ability to interact with CAT well ahead of their testing day.
The Practice Test is certainly providing the answers, but two key questions that are now arising are: What is the difficulty level of the questions given in the practice test? and What modifications does CAT 2010 test user interface has as compared to CAT 2009 user interface?
MBAUniverse.com put these queries to Mr. Manish Saraf, COO, PT Education to get the answers.
On the question of difficulty level of the questions in the practice test Mr. Saraf said, As far as the difficulty level of the questions in the tutorial is concerned, I believe we should not judge the difficulty level of CAT 2010 through this tutorial. The aim of tutorial is to familiarize the aspirants with the functionality. Also, tutorial cannot be taken as a scale to judge ones preparation, though questions in the tutorial were on the easier side and not covering entire space of CAT syllabus. We must remember that it has been a practice of CAT to provide sample questions since the days of paper based test.
