To be honest, this is not the time for pondering what might happen. This is the time to give all your concentration in memorising what you have learnt. Remember that you cannot go to the future and make any changes. All you can do is make sure your present is good because it is in your hands. We understand that this is the exam that your future depends on. But also remember that this is just a Mock Test and not a real test. So keep that in mind and work hard for few more days. Who knows, you might surprise yourself with a better percentile? Just to let you know how CAT percentile is calculated.
Now CAT has 3 sections. The Verbal Ability section and Reading Comprehension has 34 Questions, Data interpretation-Logical Reasoning section has 32 MCQ questions and Quantitative Ability has 34 MCQ questions totalling up to 100 questions. Each Question has 3 marks and a wrong answer takes away 1 mark. There are also Non MCQs which do not have negative marking. This answer is being written by taking QA sections as an example.
- Calculating the no.of Candidates who appeared for CAT
- Assigning ranks based on the CAT score
- For example if 2 people scored 20 marks and got the rank 120, the next Candidate will get the rank 122
- Calculate the percentile using the formula: P = (N−r)/N × 100
Now the catch here is the no.of people appearing for the Test. In reality more people will appear for CAT rather than for Mock Test. And this way the chances of your percentile increasing are much better. Now that you are hardly left with a day or 2, try following these:
- Do not learn anything new. Keep memorising all that you have learnt and praactised so far
- Go through the Exam pattern and syllabus once
- Focus on the topics that you have strong hold on. Practise them rather than learning something that you are finding difficult to crack
- Sleep well the night before because the last thing you want to happen in the exam hall is to feel tired and sleepy.
