DILR was a nightmare. The game based grids were confusing and the multi layered conditional reasoning sets were time sinks. Even after spending 20 minutes on Set 1, I could barely solve 2 questions. The analysis says these were 'difficult' but I think they crossed the line into 'unsolvable'.

Tough but realistic mock. The QA section humbled me but in a good way, made me realize I need to work on my fundamentals rather than just practicing tricks. The low number of easy questions is probably closer to what we'll see in the actual CAT. Great reality check

DILR set selection strategy worked perfectly here. Spent 5 minutes evaluating all sets and locked into the budget allocation one early. The analysis is spot on, attempting more than 3 sets would have been a mistake. Great learning experience for the actual exam.

Excellent mock for building mental stamina. The moderate difficulty across all sections means you cannot rely on easy questions to boost your score. Forces you to be strategic and accurate. The VA section had some tricky parajumbles but they were solvable with careful reading.

VARC was unnecessarily complicated. The space treaties passage was more like reading a legal document than a comprehension passage. The close options in VA section were frustrating, even after narrowing down, it felt like guesswork. Not sure if this level of ambiguity is helpful for preparation.

The space treaties passage in VARC was dense but incredibly well written. As someone interested in current affairs, I found it engaging despite the difficulty. The legal language was challenging but not impossible. This mock really rewards students who read beyond textbooks.

Finally a mock that does not spoonfeed easy questions! Mock 7 really tested my problem solving skills. The arithmetic section in QA was tough but manageable if you knew your fundamentals. Question 17 was a lifesaver, found it early and it boosted my confidence for the rest of the section.

Disappointed with the overall experience. The mock felt more like an endurance test than a skill assessment. With so few easy questions across sections, it is hard to gauge actual improvement. The difficulty spike from previous mocks was too sudden. Would have preferred a more gradual increase in complexity.

DILR was challenging but fair. The scoring scheme set was brilliant, once I cracked the logic, it was very doable. Managed to solve Set 2 completely in under 15 minutes. The key was definitely set selection as mentioned in the analysis. Great practice for time management under pressure.

Way too difficult for a mock test. Only 1 easy question in QA? Seriously? The Modern Math section was brutal, all 3 questions were impossible. I spent 30 minutes on those and got nowhere. Mocks should build confidence, not destroy it. The difficulty level seems unrealistic.

Loved the variety in VARC! The Quincy Jones passage was refreshing, finally something that did not feel like reading a research paper. The bee decline RC was perfectly balanced between being informative and solvable. Got through questions 6, 8, 10, 11, 15 quite smoothly. The difficulty curve felt realistic for the actual CAT.
