---------
A pathetic performance after a decent Sim-7

My OA score : 96

Sec-1 : 50 (19R 7W) Some really tricky question. I didn't think about accuracy once while attempting this section. Number of attempts shot up but so did the overall score. Easier than Sim-7

Sec-2: 46 (19R 11R) Tough LR. I got so many -ves in VA. I really expect some errata. For the first time I was finding the IMS solutions to RC really vague.

99%ile at 84-85

After messing AIMCAT 1207 and missing simcat 7 due to pre applications gave simcat 8 today. Overall the paper was a standard one. Lrs were good but solvable. The first set has an error. In the last data provided the name of the wisher is missing (as far I remember). Marked one of the LR wrong otherwise would have got 4 marks more. MY silliness.
OA 105
QA DI 71 (C24 W 1)
LR VA 34 (C15 W 11) Pathetic accuracy :splat:

Found this one simpler than simcat 7...
still cudn't convert that difference in marks...
Section 1-49
Section 2-29...well there are few incorrect answers in this section including a complete caselet of LR(in my opinion)....do the fellow aspirants have the same feeling...????
OA-78...(very disappointed as level of paper was easy..).

A standard mock...dint find it too easy or too tough...tiredness and lack of concentration led to silly mistakes in the first section. Plus one ques was certainly wrong.
In Section 2, the same story again-30 in LR and only 24 in Verbal with 4 correct out of 10 RCs.

Section 1: 27A 21C 6W---57
Section 2: 30A 21C 9W---54
Overall: 57A 42C 15W---111

I am willing to exchange softcopies of aimcats for simcats

By comparing the percentiles and toppers list it hangs somewhere between 10k-11k;)

is there any way on earth to download the simcat offline or atleast print thequestion and solution for later reviewing purpose. ?

Appeared for Sim8 last night

Sec1 : 68
Sec2 : 29:splat:(Was feeling too tired to continue...left all RC's)

I dont know why but somehow found the Simcat 8 a tad tougher than simcat 7

koi humka bachao

I am a student of the e-test online course. Gave the test today in the morning.
My scores:
Section 1: 23C, 6W 63 (One of my answers was not registered for some reason)
Section 2: 22C, 8W 58
Total:121

I did a couple of very silly errors in the first section. The Verbal part of IMS SIMCATs is very good, in my opinion. I'm afraid I can't say the same for the other section.

Plus one ques was certainly wrong.


You mean the base 8 number system question, right?

Not being able to view the scores, but I did not find either section easy for sure.

Also is it just on my account or are you guys also not able to review during the test ?

Yes there is. Go to the IMS dashboard. In the rightmost column there is an option of viewing the simcats in the pdf format. Download that and you can print it.

Now, my question:
Does anyone have simcats of last 2 years (i.e. 2009 & 2010) ??
If yes, please PM me or share kindly. Thanks in advance.

IMS Server seems to be down. Am unable to launch the test:banghead:
Today being the last day of this SIMCAT, I might have to forget about attempting this one...

No wonder I didn't find it easy. A very humbling score. But it may be just the shot in the arm that I need. A reminder that I cant bask in the glory of my CAT 2010 score and that if I want to do out do myself this time around, I cant just take a mock a week without preparation and expect to do well all the time. Hopefully this will kill my overconfidence and make me respect the fact that hard work, above ability, makes one succeed

Section 1 = 15,6 = 39
Section 2 = 12,16 = 20 :shocked:
Overall = 27,22 = 59 :oops:

Sec 1 - 16C 3W - 45 :splat:
Sec 2 - 15C 6W - 39

OA - 84

Section 2 was a commendable effort from IMS. It had the substance it needed.

Btw, this year IMS simcat's are the hallmark for VA. LR might take beating though....


But, they need to throw some potential questioins in DI. The workers problems was a copy paste from one of the previous SIMCAT's though with different questions

56+13 = 69 is the official score. One wrong entry in VA section, making it 56+17 = 73
I deserve 59+17 (because of the number system question). Still, worst SimCAT so far. 😞
