Two month into the preparation and scores are just not improving. Solved over 100 LRDI sets uptil now from pasts mocks and this year proctored mocks and have seen percentile in section varying from 60 percentile to 90 percentile. If someone has faced similar issue before can you help me in identifying my mistakes in this section. For VARC, not even sure how to prepare.
People talk about studying for three months and cracking CAT. I'm not even able to cross 90 percentile. Please help 😢
I don't know my percentile scores because I'm not able to access IMS portal. I am decent in VARC section. But my LRDI and QA scores vary a lot (22-60). Can anyone suggest how to achieve consistency in these sections?
Feeling sad after seeing scores here, but still here it is,
SIMCAT -3
VA - 42
DILR- 29
QA - 17
OA - 88(70.93)
This is my first mock test, gave it without preparation. Actually, I have decided to prepare for CAT now, so first think I did is to give a mock. Can anyone suggest how should I start and from which material should I refer for QA and DILR? I am not enrolled for any coaching. Sn. By, the time I reached quants I was already feeling sleepy? Any suggestions for increasing stamina?
How plausible it is to go from a 70% percentile to a 95+% in this timeframe? (2-3 months), will aim higher after that.
VA & RC - 56 (95.05) - Is there any place to prepare for VA from? My accuracy seems to be too low in VA. Pretty disappointed.
DI & LR - 56 (99.25) - I am not sure if it is the practice helping or if the paper was just easy.
Quant - 71 (99.5) - Happy with my accuracy(24/25) but need to up my attempts. I never seem to attempt more than 25 irrespective of the difficulty level. I see many here attempting 28+, so any advice would be appreciated.
Major drop in percentile from previous mocks, considering the mock was easier than last two. I see people scoring in 99 range in all 3 sections. Guys please help me up with DILR. How and what to prepare for this. QA I guess can be improved with topic completion and practice. Guys from DT 20 or anyone for that matter good in DILR please suggest a path, or atleast tell what helped you ace DILR.
In the Kiran, Kunti, Kanika, Kamal DILR set, "Kiran is second to the right of Kunti. But in the solution Kiran is second to the left of Kunti. Is the solution wrong or am I reading it incorrectly?
LRDI - 31 (81.88) It has now become the weakest section, need to practice a lot of sets from previous mocks and maintain database so that I can judge accurately which ones to attempt.
QA - 50 (93.48) Have faith that I can improve a lot. Just need to be at it.
Overall - 147 (97.1) I know I can do it, just need to manage job and relationship better
There was a YouTube channel called Shankar Bhayankar who did a really great job of analysis of DILR of SIMCAT-2.(Was better than official IMS imo).I can't find the channel again for my life. Anyone has a link?
VARC - 39 (72.91). I had attempted 26 questions but somehow it's showing 22 attempts in this section. I distinctly remember the 4 answers that I marked and after checking the solutions, those turned out to be correct. Those answers were not taken by the test engine probably due to internet issues.
DILR - 34(85.38) Crossed cut-off for the first time.
QA - 50(93.48) Should have been 60+ in this paper. Need to revise geometry and
PNC
OA - 123 (90.46)
Should have been 12 more. Lots of scope to improve.
