My CAT Experience - Slot 1 Review CAT 2024

[@RohitSharma-hs7cx]

My Slot 1 Experience - My mouse stopped working as soon as I started solving my first RC. It was a shit centre, the pc were ancient, monitors damaged, the invigilator took few mins to even figure out the problem with my mouse stopped my timer and changed the mouse. By the time, my exam resumed, 5-6 mins were gone, I felt immense pressure. Recollected myself and proceeded. I agree with you that while the passages were ez to understand, they were lengthy and the options were almost similar. While I attempt around 15 qs, this time I was able to attempt just 11 qs. DILR was surprisingly ez, I attempted 12 qs, and quants has always been my weakest section, I was able to solve 5 qs with 100% accuracy. Now it's all about luck for me. I gave my best, have no regrets. Hoping well for everyone who worked real hard. Good Luck.

Bruh mouse had a sensitivity of a million it seemed like it was going to the corner of the screen If I just nudged it lol

[@adarshbharti5303]

I had slot 3. I messed up in DILR even though it was easy and doable. I had 98.95%ile in DILR & overall 95.91%ile in 2023 but I messed up big this time in DILR. I picked wrong set, couldn't solve it and in pressure couldn't solve later sets with accuracy. My whole year is destroyed now. I had left 4 baby IIMs to take this drop.

[@BGMIRise19]

fuck bro why did you leave the previous year

[@JackNicholson-h1j]

@@BGMIRise19 Damn 4 babys is quite frankly a bad decision. Chin up tho, let the response sheet come out.

[@adbigbrother]

You can't really do anything now.. Maybe focus on XAT / SNAP

[@adiityyaa.]

which set did you choose , I had slot 3 also

[@adiityyaa.]

let's hope for the best bro , you never know what happened

[@ishachawla5227]

While going for exam, someone at my home died just two hours before the exam. Had it not been slot 3, I would have attempted the paper in the morning and this demise news wouldn't have disturbed me this much. I was blank in the exam especially maths section. In the exam till the maths section arrived a terrible headache turned to migraine. I attempted just 18 questions in total. I can't process till now what happened yesterday. It feels like my hard work got wasted.

[@mukulpandeysrp]

Don't lose hope God has greater plan for u

[@younggun0570]

Don't worry, Just take care of yourself. I have also ruined one year. I don't know what will happen next and what to do now . Don't worry everything will be fine and you can give it again next year targeting the ABC.

[@adbigbrother]

You couldn't have done anything about that.. Just look what's next ( maybe XAT) & hard work really never goes waste, kahi na kahi yeild krega hi.

[@adritabhattacharya3363]

I got slot 3. Varc was tricky but attempted max like about 19-21 .No idea about accuracy. Solved only 1 set in dilr. I feel slot 3 dilr was calculation intensive. Messed up quants. It was very easy but donno what happened. Overall Ghar pe mocks aur actual cat different toh hai

[@koushikpal5008]

Solving mocks in home is far different then appearing for cat exam...

[@NirajChavan27]

true man huge difference

[@09eeashishkumar72]

You are saying right. I think more different due to sit screen very close.so effect on efficiency as well as concentration.

[@LaksonmediaTv]

Next time try to give mocks in cyber cafe

Trust me bro.. same thing in slot 3 Same feeling 😢

[@persistent-s]

Exactly the same things you said about VARC In exactly resonate with it. The questions in VA were here and there and that caused trouble, my time was wasted due to that.

[@y-IIM]

Ok thank you seniors for Your amazing and unimaginable exam experience i am aspirant for 2025 , mostly i have readed everyone comments and videos but if you think any suggestion that u can give for preparation and giving exam you are most welcome.

[@camotivationforstudents]

Anybody from Slot 3 who thinks maybe we got paper on the harder side..

[@JackNicholson-h1j]

People on Reddit, were saying slot 3 was easier than slot 1. I gave Slot 2.

[@thektmwanderer3274]

slot 3 was easy

[@NirajKumar-k8z4z]

Dilr was toughest , but varc and quant were doable

[@sarfrazshekh2565]

Yes slot 3 dilr was not easy..

[@sirilreddy9508]

@@sarfrazshekh2565 I gave slot 3 and yes dilr was a bit on the tougher side... i can't say the same about the other sections though.

[@bizzaarrekafir7453]

i used to score 70-85 in CL/IMS mocks , i am not even sure of 60 marks in actual CAT

[@NirajKumar-k8z4z]

Bhai, I did good in varc and quant, but blunder in DILR,... didn't stick to my strategy 😣 .. Couldn't solve any set and maybe i have more negatives than correct because dumb me panicked and marked wrong.. Which I should have avoided at all costs.. I had slot 3 , and DILR was HARD

[@sampritisupekar9800]

Same

[@rajaryamanshivhare5738]

same gave like 25 (mocks + sectional ) got atleast 20 or 18 march in each of them even then i paniced

[@adbigbrother]

Kya kar skte hain ab.. Focus on XAT

[@palashkaushik8648]

Dude, can you give a suggestion on how should I approach Maths in SNAP? I'm very weak in Quants and was barely able to do anything in Quants as well. Suggestions on where can I start from now or what can I exactly do now?

[@SatyamKumar-nm7tu]

The same thing happened to me-I completely messed up. Since the green button wasn’t working, I couldn’t go through all the sets. I started with a Games and Tournaments set but couldn’t solve it, so I moved to the percentage-based voting set. I managed to solve that with 100% accuracy but was left with only 5 minutes. In those last 5 minutes, I ended up marking TITA questions randomly. In Quant, I had been consistently scoring 24+ in IMS mocks, but in the CAT exam, I’m not even sure if I’ll score 15. I also made three silly mistakes: in one question, the correct answer was 1/80, but I misunderstood it as milk/total and marked 1/81. In another, I entered 30 for a log question instead of the correct answer, which was 31.

[@adbigbrother]

Yes Bro.. It was very scoreable..

[@Abracadraba]

bhai i had the exact same as experience as you like exact ditto experience now the question is ki jab sabka aise hi ho rha hai to acha kiska hua hai paper

Galat hai​@@nikhilmishra4708

[@younggun0570]

I don't know why but it seems i am the one who is sitting there and telling in place of you. I have done the same mistakes, I have attempted 16 Questions in VA but no idea about accuracy, Attempted around 10 questions in DILR including the last one and Ratings set and done 7-8 questions in QA but the issue is that I have done stilly mistakes in 3 questions and after reading the question in the night , I was soo irritated with my self that how can do this mistake , I know everything, I have got the Answers also but I don't know why I marked it wrongly. Eg in the Milk and water questions, I have selected the ratio 1:81 , in the find the original SP, i have selected original CP, and in the and in the Anil and sunil questions I have marked the speed of Sunil, instead of Anil. I am the biggest fool. Like this is not at all acceptable from my end and now I don't know what to do. 😢

[@HRBEAT369]

Same here I do same for milk and water ratio 😢

[@salonikumar1726]

the answer for water and milk ratio was 1:81

[@HRBEAT369]

@@salonikumar1726 nah it's the ratio of milk to total......the real is 1:80

[@nycmuffin802]

this is literally the same mistake I made. the ration 1:81 question is wrong for me. also I skipped the time and work question which I can now easily do without the pressure of a timer. over all did 3-4 in QA.... fml

And if I take admission this year than I will have 2 years gap and again If I take drop this year also than I will have 3 gap years next year (without job ). What should I do ? Should I take admission or one more gap year ( I can score 95%ile+ ) I know there's no certainty 😢 . My head is bursting due to stress
