Analysis

RealCAT - 8

TCC-25 : CAT-25

Keep pushing whenever you feel like giving up.

MACRO VIEW

The paper was pleasantly easy and should have resulted in a high score. An excellent implementation of selection parameters would have facilitated smart time management and would have ensured that one can solve all the selected questions, at least.

MICRO VIEW

English

The section had a balance between both Reading Comprehension passages and Verbal Ability questions. Verbal Ability covered only two topics and RC had very few difficult questions. All in all, one should have taken good advantage of the easy questions and answered as many questions as they had chosen with full accuracy.

Reading Comprehension

The first passage on ‘Photography’ wasn’t unintelligible. One good reading would have rolled out all the answers.

The second passage on ‘Science Fiction and Fantasy’ was both simple and cogent. Most of the questions were direct and one sincere reading would have been enough for one to answer all the questions comfortably.

The third passage on ‘Left-brain and Right brain’ was comprehensible. At least two out of the three questions could have been managed. The others would have taken some more time but could have been managed too.

The fourth passage on “Cosmopolitanism” was a complex passage. It comprised Inference Based Questions, Logical Structure Question and Application Based Question. The questions could be answered after micro reading.

Verbal Ability

This segment consisted questions from Parajumble, Text Completion, and Summary. Two out of three questions from Summary could be easily answered. All Parajumble questions could be answered with ease. Even the Text Completion Questions were manageable.

LR & DI

Time management played a very important role here, hence one should have definitely employed selection parameters to sail through.

Q 25 to Q 29 : The block on hiking club was a lollipop. It could have been attempted within 6-7 minutes. It was a starter block.

Q 30 to Q 34 : The block on 6 chemical compounds was an ardous block. It was highly challenging and very time consuming. This block should have been attempted with caution.

Q 35 to Q 38 : This block was moderately. It required capturing the data in an user friendly manner after that it was a piece of cake.

Q 39 to Q 42 : The block on friends playing a game was a taxing and time permitting could have been attempted at the end. Every question was a separate case which required extra time and effort to solve. Nonetheless, with concepts in place and unflinching concentration the block could have been solved.

Q 43 to Q 46 : This block was of moderate complexity. After the table is formed, one wouldn’t take much time to answer the questions. This block was doable.

Mathematics

Altogether this section was moderately complex and consisted of a few topics only with a big focus on Basic Algebra. A scan of the same has been done below.

In addition to the must-do questions, there was a list of questions that could have been solved comfortably too. Out of 22 questions, if 10 to 12 questions are solved accurately it would have sailed the boat across.

With this we come to an end of this analysis.

Keep following the POAs by pushing yourself to the limit.

Our support and best wishes, always.
