This year CAT (Common Admissions Test) reduced its number of questions to 75 from last year’s 90. This move has caught the students unawares because most were prepared for an increased number of questions as prior to last year CAT had more than 100 questions.

Students came across a few printing errors in CAT this year.:-

Compared to the levels of difficulty in the previous years, CAT 2006 was a relatively easy paper. The tricky bit was the English section.In this section many of the questions were ambiguous making it tough to know the right answer.

English Section:-

The main reason behind the difficulty of this section was that in the previous years this section had questions based on logic.However this year there were more questions based on assumptions and interpretations.This pretty much makes it clear that this section would be the deciding factor for CAT selections this year.

Data Interpretation :-

The DI sets were easy.All one needed to do was keep a calm head and analyse the data thouroughly to get the solutions.An individual with a strong DI base can expect to have high levels of accuracy..as high as a 100%.

 Quant Section:-

The Maths section was a mix of both easy and tough questions. Proper planning and  choice of questions would have made it pretty easy for one to crack it.Once again accuracy levels for this section is expected to be very high.

Our predictions:-

English section - 20-23 marks
Quant section - 28-32 marks
DI section - 30-33 marks
