Unable to finish IR

by skyhi Sat Aug 04, 2012 3:35 am

I have given 3 CATs and I am not able to do more than 7 questions.
There are so many calculations or the question is so lengthy.
Please tell me how to improve the score.

Also I read somewhere the average score expected will be 4. But with a score of 3.51 it shows percentile as 3-4. how can it be so low?

i think the "percentile" is really just a raw score estimate, so if you're averaging 3.51 your estimated score would be 3-4 (which should make sense). sorry for the confusion on that..

as for how to improve your score, you already know how: get faster! :) of course that's easier said than done, but you should go over your previous tests and figure out what slowed you down so you can work on speeding up. for instance, are you slow at reading the problem? thinking up a plan? performing calculations? making decisions? once you figure this out, at least you'll know what you need to work on..
