Laboratory Test - 2 : Analysis

TCC-25 : CAT-25
Laboratory Test - 2  :  WakeUp-2

‘Laboratory Tests’ is an expedition that is filled with multivariate emotions. Though it is spine-chilling yet it is thrilling, astounding and actuating for anyone who dares to keep on.

MACRO VIEW

The test was moderately complex. The English section extended from moderate to difficult. The LR & DI section had equal number of questions of LR & DI . The questions were moderately complex. There were a few simple questions as well. The Mathematics section was a mix of moderate-difficult questions with a few easy questions. This section was dominated by Arithmetic.

MICRO VIEW

English

It was a mix of moderately complex Reading Comprehension passages and comparatively easier Verbal Ability.

Reading Comprehension :

It had four passages where three passages had three questions each and one passage had four questions.

The first passage was on “Three Judgements by the Supreme Court”. It was a passage of moderate length and could be easily perceived. The questions revolved around the Central Idea of the passage. There was one Inference Based question. One solid reading would have fetched nine marks.

The second passage on “Dennett’s meaning of freedom” was an arduous passage. This passage was moderately complex. One could have attempted a few (including the SDQ) of the four questions to guarantee marks. One with a solid short-term memory will ace this passage.

The third passage was on “Idea of Dead Scientists”. It was a passage that was somewhat cogent and eloquent, where all the questions could have been assayed. There were SDQs and Central Idea related questions, where an investment of less than a minute per question (beyond the time required to read the passage) could have induced nine marks.

The last passage on “Marinoff and his Psychoanalysis” was moderately complex and had three questions. Two out of the three questions were SDQs and could have been ventured into after an in-depth reading, whereas the inference type question should have been attempted after proper thinking.

Verbal Ability :

This segment of the section was comparatively easy.
It was a blend of Fact, Inference, Judgement, Text Completion, Grammar and Vocabulary.
The FIJ question was tricky, but it could be attempted after good deliberation.
Text Completion questions would have yielded nine marks in five minutes whereas Vocabulary would have been a cakewalk for one who is a Lexicon maven.

LR & DI

This section had equal number of Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation questions. In entirety this section had questions of moderate-difficult complexity.

It had a few easy questions that would have helped to boost one’s morale and promote conviction.

Here is a succinct rendition of the procedure that should have been espoused in this section :

Q 25 to Q 27 : The block on Melhuans and on Vayuputras was comparatively difficult to fathom. One adept in Table Sheet would have solved this block in nearly six minutes.

Q 28 to Q 30 : The block on the formation of a cricket team of eleven players was moderately complex. This was one of the less complex block. Devoting a sincere five minutes would have granted a good return on investment.

Q 31 to Q 33 : Decrypting the profit graphs would have been the precursor to understanding the entire block. From the revenue graphs, profit percentages deciphered, and additional information, it would have taken two minutes to extract the correct abbreviations for each company, hence solving the block. One would have received nine marks after self-brainstorming for about eight minutes.

Q 34 & Q 35 : The Indian Classical Music Event block was of moderate complexity. A rigorous read would have been enough to decode the block in eight minutes and another two minutes would have been abundant to solve the successive questions.

Q 36 to Q 38 : The block on students and their points in five years was comparatively complex. This block required deliberation. Around ten minutes would have to be invested to draw out cases.

Q 39 & Q 40 : This block required deliberation and calculation. Hence, it required more investment of time. Meaningful decision should have been taken about going ahead with this block of two questions with variables. This block can be attempted at the end.

Q 41 to Q 44 : This block was the easiest in the entire test. It was perspicuous and eight minutes would have been more than enough for attempting this block with complete accuracy.
 

Mathematics

This section mostly comprised moderately complex questions with a sprinkle of easy questions. One could have managed to answer around 15 questions with full accuracy.

The test had questions from all the major topics with undivided focus on Arithmetic and Geometry. Certain Arithmetic, Basic Algebra, Geometry Family questions were elementary and they could have been indubitably answered.

With the hope that you will continue to practice and continue to revise the concepts, we terminate the analysis for this test.
