Some of the questions were of moderate difficulty level, attempting which led the candidates to score high in the section.

The Quantitative section consisted of easy to moderate difficulty level questions. The questions were from Arithmetic and Higher Math. The questions in arithmetic were direct in nature and scoring marks was much easier as compared to the higher math areas. The questions from higher mathematics however were moderate to difficult in nature.

Questions based on critical reasoning (strong and weak arguments and assumptions) could be classified as easy to moderate. Given the strict time limits, this area can be considered to be difficult.
