The countdown has already begun for CAT 2012 exams. Serious students like you have already started preparation for CAT 2012 and which is being conducted by IIM Kozhikode.
CAT
2012 exam is being conducted from October
11, 2012
to November 6, 2012 with a test window of
21 days.
Notification
to this effect is out. (Visit www.catiim.in)
Besides
13 IIMs who consider only valid CAT scores, there are other 106 top B schools
who will accept CAT scores for their MBA programs.
The
difference between the paper and pencil test and the online test is that now
the tests are conducted online otherwise, almost everything remains the same.
Candidates are provided with sheets for rough calculations. The right answer is
clicked using the mouse. Candidates can also scroll the entire paper and start
from wherever they want. Likewise they can also change their answers. But all
these has to be completed within stipulated time as there will be an on-screen
countdown timer for each section. Once the time ends for the first section,
candidates will move on to the second without having the option of being able
to come back.
Thus,
time management will have an inevitable part to play in CAT 2012.
There
will be only 2 Sections in CAT 2012
Quantitative
ability and Data interpretation (QA & DI)
Verbal
ability and Logical reasoning (VA & LR)
It
will be a 140-minute exam. Candidates will have 70 minutes to answer 30
questions in each section, although, the number of questions and difficulty
level remains the same.
