[2020] IMS SIMCAT 16 Self-Proctored (6th Nov - 10th Nov)

This thread is to post score, percentile, doubts, queries, and discuss mock taking strategies for IMS SIMCAT 16 [2020].   

OA - 114 

VARC - 13 (16A/7C) - Complete disaster. Couldnt focus due to background noise.

DILR - 53 (22A/18C) - Fumbled up an easy 60+ scoring oppurtunity 

QA - 48 (22A/17C)  

OA - 141


VARC - 31 (21A/12C) - Too close options, should have attempted less


DILR - 54 (18A/18C) - An unexpectedly good score coming after a string of 20-30 scores


QA - 56 (20A/19C) - Easy section

OA - 135 VARC -31 DILR - 48 QUANT - 56 Chalo confidence utha, though options were close in VARC , I played on accuracy. DILR , first time this much I scored , "yeh bhi theek hai moment" QA - fairly easy, anyone can capitalise.

43 (22/16) 63 (22/21) 60 (20/20) 166

VARC-23 DILR-45 QA-41 OA-109 VARC:"Not Today"😐 Show goes on

VA 48 18/24 DILR 64 22/24 QA 60 20/20 OA 172.

VARC: 10 (22A/7C)  

DILR: 60 (20A/20C)

QA: 57(20A/19C)

OA: 127

VARC (19A/15C)- 43 : Options were TOO close and RCs were tough to read, imo


DILR (20A/20C)- 60 : Career best :)


QA (11A/10C)- 29 : With only 3 weeks left still cannot increase my attempts.


OA (50A/45C)- 132 : DILR was indeed a saviour !!

VARC - 04 ( 14A/4C) ..pretty much sums up my aversion for Biological passages


DILR  - 30 (10A/10C) could not attempt that selection set..ughh..😖😖


QA - 36 (12A/12C) umm..ok


OA - 70 (36A/26C) ..VARC the section in which i always score the most..has brutally wounded me today. GOD HELP ME !!

VARC-10(Ruined my day)

DILR-40

QA-44

OA-94

VARC - 37


DILR - 54


QA - 48


OA - 139

VARC: 42(16C/24A)

DILR:  72(24C/24A)

QA:    53(18C/20A)


OA: 167

18 (I have become NUMB regarding the score of this section ....)

50 (3 W need to see where )

53 (10 marks short :( )


OA - 121 (I was thinkink okayish ; Until I scrolled the thread to se the SCORES)



48/48/47 - 143

No I was not trying to score 48 in all the three sections. Having said that, 1 less wrong attempt in QA wouldn't have hurt!

38/63/56 OA: 157 Not satisfied with quants

varc 16 (17a,7c)

dilr 48 (18a,16c) 

quant 50 (19a, 17c) not sure when will i achieve my best.


oa : 114 awaiting an even lower percentile than previous simcat

VARC 27(10C/13A)

DILR 20(8C/16A)

QA   28(10C/12A)


Overall 75(28C/41A)


Guys need some serious suggestion regarding DILR.

I am making mistake of interpreting sets from last 2 simcats and I think I have repeated same thing in this test as well.

How can I improve that? Please help

VARC-29, the passages were really boring and hard to read. The section that usually contributes >50% to my total score is now my lowest xD DILR-50, easiest ever Quant-33, highest ever for me, honestly feels more satisfying than a 50 in DILR OA-112, was this a super easy paper compared to CAT level? This score is a HUGE improvement for me.

OA: 98


I think VARC was difficult majorly because it was filled with "EXCEPT" kind of questions combined with close options.
