Based on the feedback received from the students who took the first CBT CAT, the initial impressions about CAT 2009 are as follows:

• As announced earlier by Prometric, the number of questions was 60
• There were 3 sections as in previous CAT papers namely– Verbal, LR/DI and QA
• Number of questions in all three sections was 20.
• Most of the high performers in CL Mocks have reported attempting around 40 questions. Section wise attempting 13-15 qs in English, and about 12 ques each in quant and DI.
• Paper pattern was almost similar to previous CATs although the paper was a notch easier than CAT 2008
• Many centres across India faced technical problems due to which some centres had to delay the exam and postpone it to a later date.
• While English was similar in difficulty level as last year, the RC passages were shorter. Quant was easier than the previous years’. DI section was a little time consuming.
• Details about negative marking not specified
