Till 2009, the number of questions in CAT varied from 75 to 90. Since 2009, the year when CAT changed its avatar from paper pencil based format to computer based format, the number of questions has remained the same, which is 60. It is a fact that no CAT taker attempts all the questions. They always skim through the questions and select from the total number of questions which they are absolutely confident about and which would be able to fetch the sectional and overall cut offs. As there is negative marking involved in CAT scoring system, you need to be extra cautious while answering the questions so that you don’t lose your marks.
But if the number of questions is less, your choice of attempts would also be less. Does this imply that if CAT 2012 has more questions, it would be an opportunity to attempt higher number of questions of your choice? MBAUniverse.com is conducting a poll on the question, ‘Should there be more than 60 questions in CAT 2012 to allow more choices to a candidate?’ Have your say.
