‘Peerless’ is the person who can go through the path filled with occlusions and emerge victorious despite all the challenges faced.

MACRO VIEW

The test was moderately easy and if with due diligence, one would have reaped a bountiful harvest. There was an abundance of easy questions throughout the three sections.

The English section comprised 24 questions. There were 15 questions from Reading Comprehension. Overall, this segment was moderately complex. The Verbal Ability segment had questions of mixed complexity. The LR & DI section was moderately complex. There were quite a few difficult questions. The Mathematics section required stranglehold over Arithmetic and Algebra.

Reading Comprehension

The first passage on ‘Language’ was the simplest passage and should have been answered. It comprised Specific Detail Questions and Inference Based Question. Most of the questions could be easily answered.

The second passage on ‘Squatter cities’ was a difficult passage disguised as a simple one. Four out of the five questions were assumption- and inference-based. However, supreme reading skill would have made this a cakewalk.

The third passage on ‘Map-Making’ was very lucid with four direct questions, one Inference-based, and one Central Idea-based. It was a must-do passage.

Verbal Ability

One out of the three Summary questions could have been answered easily, rest required deliberation. Two out of the six Parajumble questions could have been effortlessly managed. The remaining Parajumble questions required considerable effort and reading skill.

LR & DI

Q 25 to Q 28 : The block on first year students split into six sections was a time-consuming block as there was a need to construct multiple cases in order to derive the answer.

Q 29 to Q 32 : The block on rainfall data by the IMD was one of the easiest block in this section that could have been answered within five minutes.

Q 33 to Q 36 : The block on three pouches kept in nine slots was of moderate complexity. It would have taken some effort to crack the core, post that it could have been answered in six to seven minutes.

Q 37 to Q 40 : The block on addition of two six-digit numbers was taxing and time-consuming because of the presence of multiple cases that might have arisen to reach the final answer. It should have been attempted at the end if there was time.

Q 41 to Q 44 : The block on four finalists in a dance competition being assigned items by four music composers was moderately complex. A good six minutes would have rolled out the answers for all the four questions.

Mathematics

A thorough scrutiny of the section is as follows.

Arithmetic followed by Algebra, as usual, dominated this section. Strong grip over these topics would have helped to score a ‘Wow’ percentile in this section.

That brings us to the end of this analysis.

Diligence, as always, plays a quintessential role in attaining the desired percentile.

Keep following the POAs by default and without restriction.
