TCC-25 : CAT-25

Welcome to the 3^rd segment of the ‘Triple CAT Test Series’ –
the last leg of the marathon, ‘The Strategic One’.

This test series will ensure that you enhance your performance by leaps & bounds and take the elevator to the top.

Needless to say, as always maintained, first and foremost the ‘CAT Requisites’ have to be in place.

With each test refine the ‘Strategy’ towards the D-day. These fifteen tests will provide you ample opportunities to do so.

Each test has been planned differently in the micro-sense to give you immense value addition towards differing levels of complexity and variety in exposure and practice.

MACRO VIEW

The test was moderately complex. ‘Planning’ and ‘Strategising’, if effective, would have won the battle.

The English section witnessed an equal coverage of the tricky Reading Comprehension segment and a doable Verbal Ability segment. The LR & DI section was fairly challenging. It required strong LOC and focus. The Mathematics section was largely dominated by the mandatory part (Alpha part), as per ‘Curriculum Strategy’ and if it was mastered, it would have proved immensely beneficial.

Reading Comprehension

The first passage on ‘DNA’ was neither too complex nor too easy. At least two out of the four questions could have been answered comfortably.

The second paragraph on ‘NYU' was moderately complex. A Good Reading Habit was imperative to walk past each question successfully.

The third passage on ‘Exoplanets’ was an onerous one. This passage demanded superlative Reading Habit to bag a plus twelve.

The fourth passage on ‘Voltaire’ was was a tricky one. It was confusing, too. Crystal Clear Concepts juxaposed with exceptional Reading Habit was imperative to crack this passage correctly.

Verbal Ability

This segment was pretty manageable. Summary questions were a piece of cake. All the Parajumble questions were doable. The Text Completion questions required self-brainstorming.

LR & DI

Q 25 to Q 29 : The block on Gambling was a fairly complex one. This block should have been attempted with caution.

Q 30 to Q 33 : The block on Rajasthan Board was another complex block. Strong hold over concepts would have helped immensely. One should not have started with this block.

Q 34 to Q 38 : This block was 20 students was an easy one. This block should have been attempted.

Q 39 to Q 42 : This block was of moderate complexity. Few minutes of deliberation is needed in order to crack this block. Due to the separate cases in each question, one might take few extra minutes to do the calculation.

Q 43 to Q 46 : The block on 4 by 4 matrix was an onerous one. It was lucrative enough for aspirants to think it to be an easy block but it was disguised as one. Initially, one would have concluded that all the sixteen numbers were natural numbers starting from 15 and ending at 30, but it wasn’t enough. After further inspection it could have been concluded that it was a block that should have been approached with due caution.

Mathematics

A thorough scrutiny of the section is as follows.

Arithmetic and Algebra dominated this section. There were several easy questions from Arithmetic and Algebra which could have helped one move past this section successfully.

This section was not very tough.

Crystal Clear Concepts would have made it easier.
