CAT Exam Analysis Slot 3 2024: Student First Reactions
A summary of the feedback collected from candidates who participated in the CAT 2024 Slot 3 examination is presented below.
- Anmol Kumar stated, "The overall difficulty was similar to the mocks I attempted. LRDI was the easiest of the three sections for me. I couldn’t finish one set but still felt confident about my performance."
- Sushmita Roy said, "VARC was a bit overwhelming. The RC passages were lengthy, and some of the questions had very close options. I spent too much time on one passage and had to rush through the rest."
- Shubham Sharma commented, "The QA section was tricky, especially with a few wordy problems. I think they tested both speed and conceptual clarity this time. VARC wasn’t too bad for me, but the para-jumbles without options were a challenge."
