The VARC section was brutal! Three out of four passages had difficult readability, and I spent way too much time just understanding what they were saying. I managed to solve the easy ones (2, 7, 20) quickly, but questions 9-13 from that third passage completely threw me off. The VA questions were moderate, which was a relief, but I think I lost precious time on those dense passages. Need to work on my reading speed for such complex texts.

This mock taught me the importance of section-wise strategy. In VARC, I focused on the easy readability passage (Passage 4) first, then tackled the VA questions. In LRDI, I identified Set 2 as easy early on and solved it completely before moving to Set 3. QA arithmetic questions were my strength, so I prioritized those. Even though it was marked as 'moderate' overall, smart selection made it manageable. The 68-question format is definitely more doable than the older 100-question pattern. 

QA section felt balanced compared to the other sections. I nailed the easy ones (2, 7, 11, 12, 13) within the first 15 minutes, which gave me confidence. The arithmetic questions were mostly doable, but those geometry problems (16, 17) were nightmares! Modern Math and Number System had only 3 questions total, so couldn't afford to skip them. Overall, if you're good at the basics, you can score well in this section. 

Once I tackled the easy questions from Set 2 and 3, I had enough time left to give the harder sets a shot. Smart navigation paid off!

The algebra questions were quite balanced. A couple of moderate-level ones actually felt doable if you understood the basics. 

This mock was a good reminder that CAT isn’t about solving everything, it’s about picking your battles. Prioritizing easy questions really worked.

Set 2 was a gem, simple and straightforward. If you spotted it early, it helped you settle into the section comfortably. I followed a selective approach and cracked the easy-moderate VA questions first. Helped manage time and accuracy really well.

Why were all the RCs so dense this time? I barely understood the first two passages even after reading twice. It was really out of my forté, that's for sure. 

Some of the sets, especially 1 and 5, were just unnecessarily complex. I wasted way too much time with no clear progress. The Number System and Modern Math questions felt out of place, no easy entries at all. Completely threw me off track.

This mock felt more exhausting than usual. All three sections had traps. Even the so-called 'moderate' questions needed a lot of effort.
