CAT 2020 official mock – the one thing that aspirants have been waiting for ever since the change in the CAT 2020 examination duration<\/a> was announced earlier by IIMCAT<\/a>. A media release<\/a> on the IIMCAT website had earlier stated, “Tutorials to understand the format of the test will be available on the CAT website from October 2020. Candidates are advised to work on the tutorials available on the CAT website well in advance.” So it was only natural that the anticipation about the official mock kept mounting with every passing day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 5 November (today, that is) and the CAT 2020 official mock has finally been released. How does it hold for an aspirant appearing for CAT for the first time? With the prevailing uncertainty<\/a> about the CAT 2020 examination pattern, how does this official mock help in terms of clearing the air? Let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

First of all, how does one access the CAT 2020 official mock?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Exactly! Let us get the basic things out of our way for starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Go to the IIMCAT website<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Under the “Quick Tour” section, there is an option “CAT 2020 Mock Test Link”. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) You will be redirected to a PDF with the link<\/a> to the CAT 2020 official mock.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) There is a standard template that will be displayed with the name, “John Smith”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Click on “Sign In” and start the mock. Note that you do not need to enter any credentials before signing in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “CAT 2020 Mock Test Navigation Guide” would also come in handy if you want to get a sense of the mock interface even before you step in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official mock: What does it entail?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The announcement clearly states (yet another time), “The objective of this Mock Test is not to disclose the exam pattern for CAT 2020 and the actual exam may or may not contain similar type or number of questions.” So if you are going\/ did go in with the idea that you are going to know the number of questions in each section, you are sure to get disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a total of 100 questions in the mock, just like CAT 2017<\/a>, CAT 2018<\/a> and CAT 2019<\/a> papers, with the 34-32-34 split across the VARC<\/a>, DILR<\/a> and QA<\/a> sections, respectively. Remember, this MAY or MAY NOT be the split in the actual CAT paper this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
