On popular demand, we bring to you today How to Analyze AIMCAT CAT Mocks. While everyone only talks about analysis, we bring to you a specific approach of 6 steps on how to analyze AIMCAT CAT Mocks. As per the new CAT 2015 Pattern, there will be a combination of MCQ and non MCQ based questions in the examination, with 34 questions each in Quant and Verbal-Reading Comprehension section and 32 questions in Logical Reasoning – Data Interpretation section.
How to Analyze AIMCAT CAT Mocks
STEP 0: Taking a national level CAT Mock series is important. We suggest all to participate in AIMCAT, CL Mocks or IMS Mocks for CAT. While for other exams like XAT, NMAT, SNAP, IIFT etc. you should go for other providers as the earlier 3 providers do not provide sufficient number of mocks needed to crack XAT Exam, NMAT Exam, SNAP Exam and IIFT Exam. Coming back to CAT, let us have a deeper look at 6 steps now to analyze AIMCAT CAT Mocks, as these have the highest number of takers among CAT Aspirants, as compared to CL or IMS Mocks.
STEP 1: Process of analyzing the AIMCAT should begin the day you have the mock solution with you. Do not keep it pending. If you keep the analysis pending, you will not be able to improve AIMCAT on AIMCAT basis.
STEP 2: Once you have the scores with you along with the solutions, have a check of the accuracy as well. Jot down the topic vis a vis accuracy list with you and this is something you should be tracking AIMCAT on AIMCAT basis. Remember one thing that it is not an absolute score that one may call good or bad. Rule of thumb is to score 40-50 % score in every AIMCAT and if you are not scoring this much as of now, ensure that you are progressing towards this percentage score with absolute improvement from one AIMCAT to the other.
STEP 3: With above points noted, first start going through the questions that you solved correctly in the AIMCAT.
Look out for shorter methods or tricks mentioned for the questions in the solutions and cross check if you solved through the longer method or did you adopt the apt and the shortest approach to solve the questions which you solved correctly.
This is very important. CAT is not only a test of aptitude but a test of your time management skills as well. Hence it is important to do questions in the shortest time possible. This will help you save enough time for difficult questions.
STEP 4: Once done with the questions you solved correctly, get to the questions that you solved incorrectly. This is the most important part.
Make sure that you never make the same mistake again. Note down the mistakes (conceptual, logical, application based) that you made somewhere and go through them periodically. Seems stupid but very helpful nevertheless.
For verbal questions, usually you must be facing the issue of being left with 2 close options and then marking the incorrect option. For such questions, while checking the solution, do ensure that you are understanding the thought process behind the solution arriving at the correct option (which you did not mark) and your thought process which made you mark the option (which was incorrect). Identify the gap in two thought processes, what led you to go with incorrect thought process, work on the reasons identified and ensure that you are taking care of identified points while solving the next AIMCAT.
STEP 5: Solve the unattempted questions setting a time limit of 1.8 minutes per question (For example: If 30 questions were unattempted, you should solve them with timer of 54 minutes) and then analyze them using steps 3 and 4.
STEP 6: After around 10 days, come back to the AIMCAT which you analyzed in detail earlier. Now, attempt the same AIMCAT setting the time limit of 3/4th the original time (135 – 140 minutes maximum). It will make you feel great.
All these steps are not easy to follow and require a lot of diligence. But this hard work needed for analysis, is what makes analysis not everyone’s cup of tea and ends up as the major differentiator between a 99 percentiler and a 70 percentiler.
Remember, analysis of a 180 minute mock test may take as long as 8-9 hours for a detailed analysis.
Before I end, I would like to say that do not be bogged down by the AIMCAT performance so far. Mocks are the mere indicators of how your preparation is going on and a test of improvement which should be made from mock to mock. However, they are not the testimony of what you are destined to achieve on D-Day. Many 99 percentilers never scored more than 85-90 percentile in AIMCATs but they kept analyzing the mocks and ensured they are not repeating the mistakes in every test (be it sectional of full length) ; which led them to a huge success on D-Day.
And with the above approach and efforts, I am sure that by the time CAT day comes, you have every possible arrow in your Armour to hit the bull’s eye and emerge with flying colors on D-Day.
