Speed Accuracy will be the big factor to ace CAT 2014 new exam pattern with 99+ percentile

With the changed face of CAT 2014, aspirants may not get such high percentile as was possible till CAT 2013 with the same pace of preparation. There was availability of more time and fewer questions till CAT 2013 but now in CAT 2014 you are left with less time with more number of questions.

How Transparent will be the Equating/scoring method in CAT 2014

CAT 2014 is claimed to be going to more aspirants friendly than any earlier CAT years. CAT the most sought after MBA/PGDM entrance tests with approximately 2 lakhs of registrations for the exam every year, saw a difficult situation in 2013 when number of candidates scoring Zero marks got a good positive percentile. On the top of it many candidates scoring marks in negative also scored some positive percentile.

CAT 2013 had an ironical situation

Next 52 days of CAT 2014 Registration: What should Dr Rohit Kapoor Expect?

With a great fan-fare and after keeping the CAT 2014 aspirants waiting for over 10 days from the date of CAT 2014 notification that appeared on July 27, 2014, CAT 2014 convening IIM Indore chose to open the Registration process on CAT 2014 website at 10 AM.
Dr Rohit Kapoor, IIM Indore faculty and convener of CAT 2014 might be expecting a higher number of registrations in CAT 2014 than CAT 2013 but out of the 56 days registration window which will continue till 11.59 PM on September 30, 2014, 4 days, that have already passed, show few registrations and even fewer applicants till now.
