CAT has changed for the current year. The important aspects are: 1. 60 mins of time allotted to each section and no shifting allowed. That requires time management as Quant may demand more time.

Hi Paras The number of attempts are a function of difficulty level of the paper My understanding is that: 1. Difficulty level will go up which implies accuracy becomes a key rather than attempts 2. Cut offs are expected be lower specifically for quant section 3. Last year major feedback that went was that questions were too easy, so there should be corrections this time around 4. English I do not expect too many changes in terms of difficulty level How to Prep: 1. Solve atleast 20-30 mock tests like CL, IMS, TIME, TcyOnline etc each of them offer around 10-20 tests each so you can choose. My choice would be CL as Time papers are too difficult 2. Analyse the papers you have taken to analyse which sections your strong in and weak 3. Do not attempt too many as that will bring down accuracy but that needs to be validatedd by takin tests as given above Avenue Resources also provides Coaching for CAT-2015 you can consider us if your choosing training institutes for CAT read less

GMAT, GRE, SAT, CAT Verbal / English Trainer

In English... For the new 'type your response' pattern, you can expect questions from Jumbled Paragraphs and GMAT-ish Sentence Correction. Also they may ask you to type few responses for Reading Comprehension questions. So, please align your preparation accordingly.
