Long postš¤ Ik DILR takes a lot of practice to understand which questions to attempt first and which ones to leave out. M not looking for any shortcut(don't think there is one) but I wanna get an idea how you guys decide on it, especially in DI. There are questions which are easy but calculation intensive. If somebody is willing to share their tghts, they can take DiLr sets of 1719 as reference. Maybe this will help me orient my thinking along the same line.Its not like that I can't solve them but I panic easily in DILR(m still trying to finish quants syllabus first so hvnt had much practice in others so this might be one of the cause) which leads to me attempting very few sets. All suggestions are welcome and very much appreciated. P.S Ik there is no substitute for practice and hard work š¤
I want to practice Logical Reasoning questions. I have completed the time LR materials but I felt the questions to be nowhere near the questions asked in AIMCATs and CAT.
People had earlier advised me to solve LR from previous CAT papers but it would be nice if someone can share some material where the questions are segregated topic wise.
Someone please provide me with the sectional percentiles for AIMCAT 1719

Approach and solution
Tissotbabu, a watchmaker, designed a watch such that the face of the watch had eight equal divisions instead of the twelve divisions present in normal watches. The watch had two hands, one short and one long. Similar to a normal watch, the short hand travels from one division to the next in the same time that it takes for the long hand to complete one full revolution. Further, the short hand completes one full revolution in 12 hours and at 12:00 both the hands point vertically upwards. On the face of the watch, instead of marking numbers at each of the divisions, Tissotbabu marked alphabets from A to H, in no particular order. The following information is known about the face of the watch:
(i) When the time is exactly 4:30, one of the hands is on the letter D and the other hand is on the letter F.
(ii) The time taken by the hour hand to move from letter A to letter B is not less than five hours.
(iii) At 5:15, one of the hands is exactly on H and H is not adjacent to F.
(iv) C and E are opposite each other and it takes three hours for the hour hand to travel from C to A.
Q1.
At which of the following times will the angle between the short and the long hands of Tissotbabu's watch be the same as the angle between the hour hand and minute hand in a normal watch?
a)2:15Ā b)5:15 c)4:00 d)None of the above
Q2.
What will be the approximate time when the last division that the hour hand has passed is marked with the letter C and the minute hand is exactly on the letter A?
a)8 : 49Ā b)6 : 52 c)7 : 19 d)3 : 45
Q3.
How long will it take for the hour hand to move from B to E?
a)1.5 hours b)3 hours c)7.5 hours d)4.5 hours
Q4.
Which of the following pairs of letters are opposite each other?
a)A, B b)A, D c)F, GĀ d)B, E

How to get the explanations for the questions which I did wrong/couldn't do in the TIME sectional tests ?
What is the importance of solving past papers? I'm planning to solve past papers (1992-2013). Should i write them as full length mock tests or will it be better to use them as sectional tests?
Any website for daily practice? As I could not able to decide what to do!

Anyone here who has enrolled in career launcher test series?
Is there any way to take a printout of entire AIMCAT?
In time aimcat enhanced package 34 mock omets (10 all India & 24 take home) are mentioned... Anyone having any idea what these are and when will they be given ?
A thief escapes from prison and runs with a speed of 40 m per minute. A police officer starts following the thief after 5 minutes with a speed of 50 m per minute. The officer has a dog that runs with a speed of 60 m per minute. The dog runs to the thief and comes back to the police to show him the direction. It keeps moving to and fro between them, till the police catches the thief. Find the distance travelled by the dog in the direction of the thief.
I'l be giving AIMCAT for the very first time today.
Just wanted to know that the link that will come for 1718 ,will it be available for a particular duration or till the window closes ??
