Hi All,
Since XAT 2012 is fast approaching I am sure people are going all guns blazing with the prep. TIME conducted 3 mock XATs and now its time for us to discuss the IMS mock XATs (those who have them 😃 )
The test Pack has 4 mocks to be taken at home and the fifth one would be conducted at centre and the results would be provided.
So,Let us all use this thread to discuss the XAT Mocks from IMS .We can post our sectional scores,overall score ,doubts if any.
So, pitch in people (all those who have this test pack) with your performances . 
@Mods.:- Please make this thread sticky so that the thread becomes visible to the maximum number of people.

Thanks Sumit for starting this thread.
One point, those who are not IMS students can also purchase this pack for Rs. 500. I have already purchased it. But, we have been given all 5 mocks as take away. In Pune at least, we cannot give that one particualr mock at center.
Also, TIME is giving 1 take away mock to 'enhanced pack' students. Please contact your center. I have collected them as well :grin:
Not yet solved any of these though
So, let's get ready for XAT. Because, XAT is already ready for us
All The Best To Everyone
Also, TIME is giving two take away mocks to 'enhanced pack' students. Please contact your center. I have collected them as well :grin:
ohhh...cool man...I did not know that...Will go soon to collect them . 😃 ....
thnx for the imp info..
I am starting the test packs today..
Will start posting my scores. I hope others follow suit. Could not give the TIME mocks.. 😞

Hi Sumit,

XATs verbal is really weird to me...so the reason for low scores...wld definitely prepare hard for it...

Hi Sumit,
how is the level of difficulty of Ims mock xat papers
Hi ,
As of now I have given only 1 XAT test ,XAT 101...out of the 5 tests ,I guess some are on XAT 2011 pattern (differential marking ) ,and some are on XAT 2010 (-ve differential marking)...XAT 101 that I gave was on the 2010 pattern...so would compare it with that only for u...this paper was pretty good ,considering if u are seeing it for the first time...but the fact that the quite a number of questions were replica of the past xat papers ,so the difficulty level can be said to be less for sure....
and also ,the difficulty level perception varies from person to person..so something difficult for me may be easy for u and vice versa....
Hence u may try one or two mocks from this test pack and decide accordingly... :)
Hope that helps..!!...
SOMESH PAL Sayshow to calculate marks in ims xat packs since how much marks per question carries its not given
Hi,
some of these tests are on 2011 pattern and some on 2010 pattern...so for the 2011 pattern ,the marks are mentioned alongwith the question....for the papers that dont have the marks mentioned alongside ,they are based on the 2010 pattern....so there,each q carries 1 mark....and the -ve marking scheme is mentioned in the instructions on the front page....
Is solving the 5 IMS mock XATs and past 4 XAT papers with proper analysis good enough for XAT preparations, if I had done good CAT preparations? Which area requires seperate practice for XAT?
Also how to prepare for the essay topic in such a short time considering that in XAT 2011,the essay topic was a dense economic topic and being a engineering student, I dont have that much knowledge about economics.....
thanks in advance.....:)

oa ---39.60
43c 16w kuch to karna padega
guys how to calculate score for ims xat pack.
XAT 101
VA 13C 9W =11
ARDM 19C =19
QA 15C 3W =14.4
OA 44.4
50 is definitely possible in this paper.
A few things to do
(1)CR
(2)QA a bit, as I am out of touch since my cat.
Along with that, I guess, solving a few LR/DM case-lets on a regular basis would be helpful.
