Still no consistency........

Okay, I admit. Consistency is not my niche right now. I had written in an earlier post how my preparation was progressing in a "One step forward, two steps back " mode. Well, AIMCATs 1117 and 1112 were no different.

AIMCAT 1117 :

Same old story. 98.xx percentile in Verbal, couldn't quite manage to clear the cut off in either Quant or L&DI. Although results don't show it as yet, I believe I am making some progress in both Quant as well as L&DI. The answers that I mark now are more precise than the random guesses until a few months ago. A lot still needs to be done and I have a specific plan of action to increase my attempts to a comfortable threshold level in the next one month.

AIMCAT 1112 :

One of the key changes in this one was the use of 4 different sets and normalization by TIME. Normalization is the way of equating scores across papers of different difficulty levels (i won't get into the details primarily because I don't have a clue and also because I think the topic has been expatiated enough after the CAT 2009 fiasco).

Just when I thought that I had seen it all, in came a stinger in the name of AIMCAT 1112. Consistent with my "One step forward, two steps back " theory, the percentile had to drop to the 70's and it did. But the overall percentile of 73.xx was not the end of humiliation. the icing on the cake was the 61.xx percentile in Verbal section. (you may recall that i got 98.xx and 99 in two of the previous three AIMCATs.) Couldn't clear the cutoff in any of the three sections. Still praying for some consistency [ hopefully in the upper 90's :) ]

Down but not yet out..!!

PS : Had a decent AIMCAT 1115 scoring 79 in a 60 question (+3, -1 marking scheme) paper. Hoping for another 90 + with this score. Results are not yet out.
