Hi Guys, ARKSS will be here soon. ARKSS is an IIM Calcutta alumnus from the late 90s and has taught over a 50,000 students over the last 15 years.

12:26 PM

One important point : Please don't give your accuracy % ages if you are asking for expected percentiles. ARKSS won't have the time to calculate for each one of you. Give your expected score and then talk.

12:27 PM

Also, did we tell you that it is pointless to think too much about percentiles right now? Look at aspects like IIFT, XAT, SNAP and GD/PI Prep. Thats our suggestion but we hope you find the chat today useful. We have 75 mins with ARKSS.

12:28 PM

Meanwhile, All updates about CAT 2017 you can find here - https://insideiim.com/cat-2017-analysis-expected-cutoffs/?src=konv

12:29 PM

You can now start asking your questions

12:30 PM

Hi All,

12:35 PM

Now that CAT is over, and you have seen the analysis of what marks could be what percentile, you may go ahead and ask any questions related to the same, B Schools or the upcoming exams!

12:36 PM

How to get over disappointment of CAT if someone has not attempted enough to get the requisite percentiles?

12:37 PM

Hello Sir, what's the average accuracy percentage in VAARC as opposed to the expectations? I'm an avid reader and i think I've answered at least 20 questions correctly, with a gamble in 4 more.

12:37 PM

Hi sir, I have attempted only 19 questions in QA in the afternoon slot. Supposing I get 14-15 of them correct is there any chance that I can get 90%le in QA ?

12:39 PM

Hello sir, I am expecting 130 - 140 overall marks for slot 1. What percentile can I expect? Also how significant will be the scaling process?

12:40 PM

I am expecting in the range of 140-147... what can be the expected percentile ?

12:40 PM

slot 2

12:40 PM

Hello, I gave my CAT in the morning slot, and my attempts were 29/17/23 with decent accuracy. Say 80-85%. My target is 99%ile. Reading the analysis of both slots, I feel i fell back in QA a little bit. I should have attempted 25+, because a lot of people have attempted 26+ Questions. What is your say?

12:42 PM

And how much percentile will 5 correct answers in QA with no incorrect answers fetch me?

12:42 PM

Sounds great! My attempts were all genuine and accurate. That was comforting! Thank you :)

12:46 PM

hello sir,

12:49 PM

Hi sir, my attempt for slot 2was VARC- 33 with 80% accuracy LRDI -20 with 80% accuracy and QUANT- 25 Qs with 90% accuracy..what are the chances of getting 99.7+ %le for a raw score of 190-195?

12:49 PM

i am pretty confident about my performance in varc and qa section slot 2.... however dilr was a pain.... could solve only 11 questions..... assuming i get 7-8 correct, will i hit 98+?

12:49 PM

score for 90 percrntile?

12:50 PM

sir attempts were 29/20/30 with accuracy 75/60/77 ... slot 2 , what can be the expected percentile ?

12:50 PM

varc-31/ dilr-11/quant-16 with accuracy of 85..hw much percentile would that fetch?

12:50 PM

@ARKSS - Sarat Nanda, Snehasish Bal's question pending to be answered. Followed by Vaibhav, Arko, Siddhant and Swardesh

12:51 PM

What will be QA cutoff?

12:53 PM

Guys be patient all questions will be answered. Those who have asked don't ask again and clog the chat flow. Others who haven't asked yet, please continue to ask.

12:54 PM

Last year 104 mark fetched 90%ile. Cutoff will go up this year then

12:58 PM

Anyone who wants to know the percentile, please give the scores and not attempts and accuracy percentages!

01:02 PM

with 90 -100marks range what would be the percentile?

01:03 PM

Should one start preparing for GD and PI? Also, how important is GD prep given most IIMs have done away with it?

01:03 PM

score quants-45-50/varc-60/dilr-27-30.. what would be the percentile range?

01:03 PM

Just wondering wether my earlier post was noted.

01:04 PM

Sir I mentioned my accuracy percentages ,not marks ,,, I am expecting 63+26+57 = 146 slot 2.. individual and total expected percentile ?

01:06 PM

Hello sir, I am expecting 130 - 140 overall marks for slot 1. What percentile can I expect? Also how significant will be the scaling process?

01:07 PM

Slot 1 appears more difficult than the Slot 2 and hence either your scores will move up or the scores of slot 2 will come down. You can get a percentile around 95 to 97.

01:08 PM

Kk thanks a lot sir :)

01:09 PM

42+40+45=127.

01:10 PM

127 should get your closer to 95 percentile !

01:10 PM

Slot2 : 42+40+45=127.

01:10 PM

Thank you sir. Am I going to clear the cutoff for verbal?

01:11 PM

@ARKSS - Snehashish Bal's question was reframed.

01:17 PM

With 31 marks in quants what can be the percentile?

01:17 PM

01:19 PM
