To assist you during your preparation and testing day, Prometric has created a CAT 2009 Practical Guide. Please go to www.prometric.com/IIM-CAT to download the CAT 2009 Practical Guide that contains valuable information for your testing day. We strongly encourage you to view this document prior to your testing day.
In addition, we would like to also highlight some of the below Prometric Testing Centre Regulations:
1. You are prohibited from communicating, publishing, reproducing, or transmitting any part of your test, in any form or by any means, verbal or written, for any purpose.
2. You must not talk to other candidates or refer to their screens, testing materials, or written notes in the test room.
3. Any clothing or jewellery items allowed to be worn in the test room must remain on your person at all times.
4. You must conduct yourself in a civil manner at all times when on the premises of the testing centre. Exhibiting abusive behaviour towards the Test Centre Administrator, or any other staff member of the test centre, may result in criminal prosecution.
5. To protect the privacy of all testers, the Test Centre Administrator can neither confirm nor deny if any particular individual is present or scheduled at the test centre.
What it means on PG: You are strictly prohibited from discussing your questions with any one else. Do not post it on PG or any other online site. Don’t share it. Period.
As for other updates, Prometric has mentioned the following:
Candidates are requested to keep the following pointers in mind in the run-up to the CAT stay contactable by phone and email from today onwards; access emails regularly, including the spam folder; check Admit Cards thoroughly for appointment date, time and test location. Candidates should note that any SMS messages sent by Prometric will be from PROMETRC (the letter ‘i’ has been omitted to conform to the TRAI eight-character ID regulation).
In order to provide further assistance to candidates, Prometric has made available directional maps for all CAT 2009 test centers. Candidates can access their respective maps on www.catiim.in. It has been recommended that candidates visit their test center at least two days prior to their appointment date and acquaint themselves with the location, commute time and traffic conditions to eliminate any last minute uncertainty.
With just days to go before the start of the CAT 2009 testing window, it is important that candidates do their own checks to ensure that they have everything they need for their test day, said Ramesh Nava, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific, Japan & Africa, Prometric. Have sufficient rest and be at the test centre at least two hours before the scheduled appointment”, He said.
Candidates are also encouraged to view the YouTube video ‘What to expect on test day’, available via www.catiim.in or on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaKHWpiFToE
A supplementary Practical Guide is also available for download on www.catiim.in
Update: Go through PaGaLGuY’s policy on discussing the CAT 2009 paper.
All the best Puys!
