HIGHLIGHTS
- 4 answer options for each question.
- Paper was not lengthy
- Reasoning based questions were of average difficulty level with a few scoring questions.
- Questions based on Quantitative Ability touched upon all four areas of mathematics - arithmetic, numbers, algebra and geometry.
- The questions based on English Usage were fairly straightforward and of easy to average difficulty level but Reading Comprehension had close answer options.
- Visual Reasoning was clear-cut with no doubtful answers. The patterns were hardly intricate, and deciphering the logic behind them was a cakewalk.
Working systematically section by section would have been a good move. But in order to be a ‘smart alec’, if your strength lay in any one section then tackling that first and going ahead would have been the smartest move!
CONCLUSION
Unquestionably a well crafted paper which covered all areas of testing minutely, raising the hopes for a good score for all aspirants.
