Va 37(16C 14W) : ........ me I guess I thought passages were easy Lrdi 37( 13C 5W): I think I messed up the queen set, 15 marks short here QA 62 (21C 1W): felt okay, was able to touch upon each ques but haven't practiced numbers so left questions. OA 136. Def a 150-160+ paper I am really intrigued to see the varc answers. Have been practicing some material from time and GMAT rc's and have had almost 90% accuracy but somehow simcat RC's are a different breed for me. Idk man lets see
Varc - 35 LRDI - 48 QA - 62 OA- 145 50% accuracy in Varc 😓😓 was expecting more

Couldn't have gone worse. Terrible attempt after decent Aim attempt.
IMS VARC me kya ho raha hai I don't know since the questions and options, both were pretty straightforward. After a decent DILR start, messed up the section.
Agli baar dekhte hai..

LONG LONG WAY TO GO, KOI DILR KI TRICK BATA TO DO!
Throwaway account here, and I wanted to discuss something important.
This thing applies mainly to people who find themself preparing for CAT alone, maybe because they are towards the older side of the test takers, or maybe because all their friends left to pursue higher education in foreign colleges, or maybe because all your friends joined MBA colleges this year itself, leaving you behind.
I was one of the above people last year, and preparing alone till July was taking a toll. I had nobody to talk to after a bad mock who could give me hope again, nobody to discuss new strategies with, and quite frankly nobody to feel happy for when they scored well, and nobody who felt happy for me when I scored well. Add to this the general loneliness which came with the lockdown and an insurmountable office workload, and things started looking unbearable very fast.
Let me also say at this point, if you don't feel alone in this journey, I am happy for you and you can stop reading this post at this point and save your time. If not, read on.
The road to CAT is still a few months long, and my only advice to people who associate with anything I said above is to reach out; reach out to people in the mock threads of this wonderful platform. However, what I experienced last year was that the people who were already doing great in mocks (99.5+) were usually hesitant and non-responsive when I approached them in the DMs or comments. Please note this was only my experience, and is not true for all high percentilers you find on mock threads.
I was scoring in the 96-98 range every mock, and I needed someone with whom I could start to breach the 99 mark. What worked eventually was messaging someone in a similar score range as me, and asking them about how they were going about improving in each section.
The thing is, when you prepare for this exam with a person at a similar level as you, and a person with the same hunger as you to succeed, the results can be surprising, and you may end up surpassing your own expectations. You are both able to feel happy for each other's successes and able to relate with each other's failures. You are both able to give relevant advice and tips to each other, as you are both facing similar problems.
If lucky, you might even make a good friend, and end up preparing with them for the GDPI stage too, like I did.
As I complete my first week at a top college (one out of ABC), I can only say I am indebted to that person I met through this platform, and I am also grateful for this platform which gave me a chance to interact with a person at a similar level as me. I am also forever thankful that I decided to reach out, and ask for help, and ask for company on that one fateful day 1 year back. So my friend, reach out, you may be preparing alone now, but it doesn't have to be that way till November end.
Simcat - 4
VARC - 58
DILR - 47
Quant - 62
OA - 167
Need to work on Quant and DILR.
I am preparing alone. Need someone to compare and help increase my score.
Is it possible if people with similar score can make a telegram group and then discuss the exam in detail there? Or maybe if one exists then add me :P
Lal salaam comrades!
SIMCAT 4
VARC- 58 (32A/22C) Was expecting 10 more tbh, IMS RCs are very odd in that respect.
DILR - 29 (11A/10C) No idea what happened, partially solved 2 sets only to leave them after frustration.
QA - 48 (20A/17C) Could have gone better definitely, need to learn the art of leaving ego aside.
OA-135
Until next time, Viva la revolución
Verbal 21 (accuracy is the major issue) Dilr 15 (attempted only 2 sets) Quants 28 (don't know what to say 🙂) OA - 64
VARC 47 (IMS varc is super fluctuating)
LRDI 53[99.68]
(wasted 10 mins on one question , easy 15-20 marks miss)
QA 43 (I am gonna woo you irrespective of what it takes baby)
OA 143
VARC 58 (34A/22C) Low accuracy in VARC continues.
DILR 15 (12A/5C) Not going up despite solving CL/IMS practice sheets. Tips pls
QA 34 (14A/12C) Speed still not upto the mark
OA 107 Major letdown
Hopefully wont be as embarrassed by score next time around, till then, lot more practice in DILR needed. Any suggestions to improve DILR score is much appreciated!
VARC 54 (26A/19C) Never expected accuracy to be this low.
DILR 42 (14A/14C) Lack of preparation and it shows.
QA 36 (12A/12C) Struggling as always.
OA 132
VARC :30 DILR :36 ( 100% accuracy shoosh) Qa :58 Oa 124 Suggest something for varc seriously, reading more is not working. Should I do CR from gmat club? also do suggest which institute's sectional are best for the same.
VA- 33
LRDI- 31
QA- 43
OVERALL- 107
