MICRO VIEW

English

Reading Comprehension

The first passage on ‘Art’ was fairly lengthy and moderately complex. A sincere reading would have helped to understand the passage. Most of the questions were doable.

The second passage on ‘Greeks’ was relatively easy, despite its length. Many questions were direct. A good reading habit would have been a facilitator.

The third passage on ‘Reproductive Technology’ was lucid despite the use of a few biological terms, and one micro reading would have been enough to answer most of the questions with utmost accuracy.

The fourth passage on ‘Innovation’ comprised mostly Specific Detailed Questions. It was comprehensible but the presence of options too close to each other demanded caution while answering.

The fifth passage on ‘RISD Hosting’ was precarious and the options were too close in implications, making it comparatively difficult. It should have been attempted after deliberation.

Verbal Ability

Verbal Ability had questions from Grammar, Text Completion and Vocabulary. Questions from Grammar and Vocabulary were easy and could be solved swiftly. There were two questions from Text Completion and both were of moderate complexity. These could be solved after some deliberation.

LR & DI

Q 25 to Q 28 : The block on banks and loan reimbursed was an easy one. Although it was calculation intensive, it should have been attempted.

Q 29 to Q 31 : The block on UltraTech was of medium complexity and was entirely based on basic arithmetical operations. Constructing a table to enter the data provided would have been a smart step towards finding the answers.

Q 32 : This Data Sufficiency question was tricky and should have been attempted after due deliberation.

Q 33 to Q 35 : This block on energy consumption by five companies was another lollipop. This block could have been solved within six minutes. A good grasp on LOC would have been a game changer.

Q 36 to Q 38 : The block on ten students having to choose two courses was a moderate one. The presence of a few constraints encouraged the creation of a table and the entire block could have been managed in around four minutes.

Q 39 to Q 41 : The block on National Library was onerous and time consuming. One had to solve this block with immense patience. A dedicated investment of seven minutes would have rolled out the answers to all the questions.

Q 42 to Q 44 : The caselet on a town with people with and without bank accounts was moderately complex but doable. An investment of six minutes would have yielded nine marks.

Mathematics

The section was moderately complex and a detailed scrutiny of the same has been done below.

This section comprised questions from various topics but it was dominated by Higher Algebra and it was closely followed by Number System. Questions from Higher Algebra were relatively complex. There were several easy questions from Arithmetic which would have boosted one’s confidence. There were questions from various topics. Ones who have mastered these topics would have sailed very smoothly through this section.

This ends the analysis.

Adhere to the POAs happily.

Our support and best wishes, always.
