All IIMs 1-2 IIMs
Quanta 25 100 25% Moderate to tough 36 32

Verbal 40 160 25% Moderate 60 50
Total 90 360 25% Moderate to tough 145 130

What was so different in CAT 2008? Well – the weight of Verbal section has increased from 33% to 44%. This is like going back to good old days of CAT (early 90s).

Not a wild deviation from the range of expectations.

The difficulty level of questions was similar to CAT 2007. There wasn’t anything surprisingly new within the sections. All question-type asked were known from past.

Scores: This was surely a low to moderate scoring test paper.
