Answer 1

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is an all-India test conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) as an entrance test for the management programmes of its six business schools.

180,000 students compete for less than 1200 general seats in the IIM's which makes it even more selective than all the Ivy League Universities put together. Even with a top 1% score, a candidate must also cross the equally stringent hurdles of a group discussion and an individual interview.

The CAT is one of the world's most demanding entrance examinations for any graduate institute. The test taker is expected to excel in arithmetical problem solving, geometry, statistics, data interpretation, logical reasoning in solving complex puzzles, and English language skills. The test is held on the third Sunday of November for a duration of two hours (2.5 hours from 2006).

It is neither expected, nor possible, that all the questions be answered, so the CAT also tests the candidates' ability to prioritise under pressure: a quality necessary in the competitive environment of IIMs' courses.


CAT 2006
CAT 2006, which was conducted on November 19, was a 2.5-hour exam instead of the traditional 2-hour exam. It is speculated that this change was made by the CAT exam committee to decrease the level of predictability of the exam and to relieve the stress caused to students in a two-hour time limit.

CAT 2006 had 75 questions, 25 questions per section and 4 marks per question, making it a 300-mark paper. There was a penalty of 1 mark for a wrong answer. The paper also proved to be a break from the previous pattern in that it had 5 answer options instead of the usual 4. The English section was generally perceived as very difficult [1], whereas the quantitative aptitude section was relatively much easier than previous CATs as also in comparison to the other two sections.

CAT 2006 was also notable due to some printing errors that had crept into the question paper. [2] The IIMs accepted the errors and formed a committee to look into the matter. The committee ruled that the wrong questions would be ignored. This leads one to a scenario where the different paper sets have a different number of "valid" questions. The difference will be made up by appropriately changing the denominator in the respective sets. For example, set 333 had 2 incorrect questions in quantitative ability. In this case a student scoring x/100 marks would now score (x/92)% marks. The idea of a re-test which was proposed by some quarters has been set aside by the authorities.

The result for CAT 2006 was declared on January 2nd 2007 among much confusion, as the server hosting the results was inaccessible for prolonged periods of time. Also, the IIMs declared the actual key to the question paper. Instead of solving the doubts regarding the answers to the verbal section, it has creation much confusion as to what can be right answer and what cannot be. Some students have already filed Right to Information Act demanding the explanatory answers to these questions. And, some of them are also planning to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) for reevaluation or a retest.

i hope u got the answer...njoy ..all the best..

Answer 4

The TOEFL test is designed to determine whether or not you can speak adequate English to enroll in the program. You will be asked to read, listen to, comprehend, and write in English in order to pass the test. This is the test that over 6,000 institutions in over 130 countries choose when determining whether or not an applicant can speak fluent English. Whereas, According to the Educational Testing Service, which administers both the TOEFL and the GRE tests, the GRE is designed to test "verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills." This can be subject specific or general, depending on the test chosen. The test is designed for students who are applying for graduate school programs. It is designed for native English speakers.The test is unique in the fact that it is a computerized adaptive test. This means that the computer adjusts the questions given to the test taker based on whether or not the previous question is answered correctly. This allows the test to give a score with fewer questions asked.
