Please note that the average user of InsideIIM scores a higher percentile and hence the data is skewed since it talks about better performing students. Also, students who do badly at the test do not normally bother sharing data or filling up forms. With respect to correct expected figure, most students over estimate their own ability.

Please note Avg Correct Expected is what the student thinks his/her accuracy level is - it is not an exact measure. In our experience, most students over estimate their abilities and hence you should keep that in mind while analysing the above data. For simplicity we have given negative 1 for all non-MCQs as well in the above data.
1 : 10 pm - Total attempts will go down. Cutoffs will go down. If someone has attempted close to 80 questions overall with good accuracy you are definitely through!
12 : 45 pm - First impressions from our expert ARKS Srinivas. No change in the pattern. Paper MORE DIFFICULT than last year.
