hello nikhil..... I am scoring about 90-92 percentile in the mocks.... have improved a lot....but it seems i have hit a plateau now....how do i take it beyond 95?
01:38 PM
Nikhil Kumar
How are you analysing the mock. Make an xlsx where u write your weak areas. and practice on it before attempting next mock. do not give next mock without improving weak areas.

Good evening sir, I am scoring low in DI/LR section specifically low in DI sets not able to solve them on time and accurately and scores in Quant are random some times 90+ percentile in quant and sometimes low as 70%.Please help in improving scores and from where to practice DI sets in order to score high in this section.
01:38 PM
IMS test series is best to practice for DI LR. In quant after each mock keep a note of which topic you are not able to solve or you went wrong. Work on those topics. Your score will improve. Dont marks random answer. If you are sure about an option then marks answer. In quant answer easy question in 1st round before moving to next round.

Analyze mock. improve on areas where u are weak and you went wrong. Dont attempt next mock without improving those topics. MAke an XLSX depicting all areas and your score in them. Keep updationg them. Practice Practice and practice as much you can with time limit.

i am scoring around 80 percentile in mocks till now how can i maximize those in last 2 months??
01:41 PM
Have you practiced Sectional, intermediate and advance test?? If not attempt them. Your score will improve. Its all about the number of question you practiced and what you gain from it. Do not repeat same mistake again and again. You will get 90+ in 2 months.

Hello Nikhil. I'm scoring %ile in the range of 75-90. I'm able to manage 85-98 in DILR and 80-95 in english but my quant is a big let down as I'm able to score only 50-60%ile in that. How to get a hold of quant? I'm able to do questions while analyzing the mocks but when it's the time of mock I end up attempting only 10-12 questions
01:41 PM
Are you well verse with all basics of Quant?? If not please go through all basics. In mock choose all easy question in 1st round before moving to next round. You will get minimum 10 to 12 easy question in all mocks. It will come with practice. Familiarize yourself with different types of question.

hello, my RC is not improving much.Though I find it easy while analyzing it. LRDI is also not in grip, Quant fluctuates a lot from 55-39, though I know I will manage to take it 60's but I need much improvement because this is my scoring section.
01:42 PM
Solve booklet provided to you by coaching or any good book that you have. I think you have not completed all the topics and have jumped into mocks. Start completing the topics that you have not completed. Meanwhile keep attempting mocks.

How many questions i should attempt to get 90%ile above in cat
01:42 PM
There is no fixed answer or this. It depends on difficulty level of paper. But still around 110 will fetch u 90+ in CAT if paper is same last two years trend.

how to get hold of dilr section as i am taking too much time in solving a set?
01:46 PM
Practice yaar. Join IMS test series they have very good DILR sets. Practice any set with in time limit if you are praticing also. Solve any question competely. Dont leave it in middle. Do mind calculation when ver you are free.

Hello Sir, I am getting around 65-75%ile in simcat mocks, VARC is always above 70%ile, DILR is fluctuating between 55-70ile, my quant concepts are yet to be covered so my worst section is QA. I have give 8 mocks till now. I am working on VARC to increase the marks. Trying more sets of DILR. But somehow i am lagging in QA,not able to solve enough questions.What should i do to get a decent %ile in CAT? And how to micro-analyse mocks?
01:49 PM
Improve your basics first. Regarding micro analyse i have answered to some one. Dont just attempt test.Learn something from each test before attempting next text. Improve weak areas with each test whether sectional or mock etc.

if you can complete the basic with in 2 to 3 weeks do that first. If you cant then do both together. I am not sure how much basics you have covered and how much free time you have. But if you can finish all basics in a week or two. good luck.

What about questions in "application builder" or section tests in IMS,TIME online platform? Are these good enough or of low quality VS Last year mocks?
01:58 PM
Not much idea about application builder. But sectional test of time is good if you are starting your preparation. If you are well versed with basics then you can take mocks directly.

Hello Nikhil! I have been taking up CL mocks after my initial one round of prep covering all topics. am getting around 110 consistently-85 to 90 % range. However my sectional scores in VA is barely reaching 85, pls suggest ways to improve that...... Also I find IMS mocks a bit tougher than CL ones and my percentiles there are varying typically. Now am confused whether to analyse and take up from just one mock series or try doing both. pls guide on that as well
01:59 PM
Yes IMS mocks are difficult than CL. IMS english and DI LR is best among all mocks. I would say to focus more on IMS mocks as compared to CL mocks. IF you have free time do from both.

Hi Nikhil, My performance just decreases under time pressure can you please suggest how should i just keep calm and focus on those 180 mins cz when not under time pressure i can solve almost all the questions but during the mock everything seems greak to me :/
02:02 PM
Practice more time bound test. While solving basic qus also keep a time check. Best is to keep a stopwatch on your laptop screen.

In quants I usually solve 7-10 right in almost every mock i give ,but whenever I try to analyze that mock i am able to solve 8-9 questions more without even further studying ... this has happened with me since starting. How can I solve this issue? it is like I know things but couldnt do it at mock ... plz help

02:15 PM
Practice more question yaar. Practice with time limit. Dont mark answer if you are not sure especially in VARC. Solve all easy qus first.
02:19 PM

Ok sir! Will try to focus on both. But how to improve accuracy in VARC, I tend to lose by negative marks there mostly as I find 2 answers close enough and end up marking the wrong one.. how to change that tendency
02:16 PM
Dont mark answer if you are not sure. It will improve with practice.
