CAT 2014: Insights and Revised Cutoffs

(1)  They would no longer be able to save time on the verbal section.

(2)  Others (people less comfortable with verbal) would have an equally decent shot on the verbal section - since verbal experts do not have any special expertise in LR, RC and the non-vocab part of verbal.

Quant Summary - Geometry/Algebra dominate - DI has some tricky sets

In quant, Geometry and Algebra dominated, with no questions on the feared functions module. This again, meant that quant would be a balanced section offering no special advantage to engineers.

Other salient aspects, and cutoffs

There was no difference in the difficulty levels between the two slots.

It looks like all students within a slot got the same questions.

Practise - DI, LR, RC and Geometry, Arithmetic, Numbers

Here's a rough estimate of percentiles - according to ARKSS. Due to our incessant requests, ARKS Srinivas has given us a few estimates of the likely cutoffs. He is very clear though that they are just estimates based on his experience and he gave it on Team InsideIIM’s request. You can see that he has made a marginal upward revision as compared to the LIVE Chat on Sunday.
