CAT undergoes amendments of some or the other form every
year. The test takers have no other alternative but to prepare
themselves accordingly. Till 2009, the number of questions in CAT varied
from 75 to 90. Since 2009, the year when CAT changed its avatar from
paper pencil based format to computer based format, the number of
questions has remained the same, which is 60.
There are 30 questions in each of the sections, Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation and
Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning sections. While Quantitative
Ability and Verbal Ability areas have 20 questions each, Data
Interpretation and Logical Reasoning area consist of 10 questions each.
Before the change in the pattern in 2011, there were three sections, Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability and Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning. Each of the sections had 20 questions which made the total number of questions 60.
It is a fact that no CAT taker attempts all the questions. They always skim through the questions and select from the total number of questions which they are absolutely confident about and which would be able to fetch the sectional and overall cut offs. As there is negative marking involved in CAT scoring system, you need to be extra cautious while answering the questions so that you don’t lose your marks.
But if the number of questions is less, your choice of attempts would also be less. Does this imply that if CAT 2012 has more questions, it would be an opportunity to attempt higher number of questions of your choice?
To get the readers’ and the CAT 2012 takers’ views, MBAUniverse.com is conducting a poll on the question, ‘Should there be more than 60 questions in CAT 2012 to allow more choices to a candidate?’What is your say in this regard? Do you feel that more than 60 questions would give you the opportunity to select questions from a wide array of topics and questions? Or do you feel that having more questions would mean that you would have to take more time to go through all the questions and deciding, which will be more time consuming than usual.
