The questions were spread over different varieties. There were 3 questions that were information based and could easily be answered by every diligent reader.

A couple of questions also tried to gauge a deeper understanding of the structure of the passage. Three questions in the exam were inferential in nature. On the whole, six RC questions were easy; and six questions had very close answer choices making them difficult. The remaining 18 questions were easy to moderate for those who have practised the CL mocks.

Verbal Ability

The questions in Verbal Ability were dominated by Verbal Logic and did not carry any negative marking, though they needed prior practice to aim for a high percentile. The paper had 4 non-MCQ subjective para-jumble questions which were difficult. These questions should have been attempted at the end, allocating time to them only if one was through with the other question types. There were 3 non-MCQ TITA Paragraph Odd Man Out questions. Even these questions had close options making them moderate to difficult. Additionally, the section had 3 summary questions. These questions, unlike the previous two years, were MCQ based and thus carried negative marking. Two of these questions can be termed easy whereas one was easy to moderate primarily because of the subject matter and language used.

With a moderate level of paper many students ended up attempting quite a few questions from RC passages and all the Summary based questions. As the non-MCQs didn’t have any negative marking, a student could have guessed an additional three questions.

All in all, for a 95+an attempt of 21-23 will be good for this section. An attempt of 26-27 was required for a 99 percentile.
