The CMAT 2022 exam was quite easy. Quant section, LR section and verbal sections were very easy and scoring. On the contrary, GK was very tough. I am from commerce background so it was helpful to me in solving Inoovation and entrepreneurship. It might not be helpful for engineers. In Quants section, there were a couple of wrong questions. CMAT cut off can go up to 320.

CMAT 2022 was pretty easy. I thought it would be tough but it was not that much difficult. The difficulty level was low. For me, Maths is very difficult so the section was tougher compared to other sections. And the new section – Innovation and Entrepreneurship was scoring. Reasoning was also good. Maths was also not that difficult but I wasn’t prepared. Time limit was enough. I will get pretty decent marks. I’ll appear for this exam next year also, this year I was just testing it.

Q: How many questions should I solve to get a good score in CMAT?
Q: Can I prepare for CMAT in 6 months?
Yes, 6 months are a decent time duration to prepare for CMAT exam, if one does it with dedication and discipline. Candidates who have appeared for CMAT or any other MBA entrance exam before, will find 6 months more than enough to prepare for the exam. Those, who are appearing in CMAT for the first time, can also prepare in 6 months but they will have to give extra time to it. If you plan a CMAT preparation in six months, make a three stage plan. In the first stage, which will be of 3 months, complete the CMAT syllabus, in the second phase, which will be of 2 months, practice sample papers and mock tests. In the third stage, which will be of 1 months, do revision of important topics and gain control over all that you have studied before. Keep in mind to solve enough number of CMAT mock tests (30-35) for better preparation in short time. Read More: CMAT preparation in 6 months
Q: How can I prepare for CMAT to secure 100 percentile?
Common Management Admission Test is an online computer based test conducted by the National Testing Agency, India. It is a national-level admission test for facilitating institutions to select suitable students for admission in all management programmes approved by AICTE. According to the exam pattern, the CMAT syllabus for MBA admission is divided into five sections namely, Quantitative Technique and Data Interpretation, Language Comprehension, Logical Reasoning, General Awareness, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you plan to prepare for CMAT exam, then you have to at least put in four to six hours daily into studying. 345 to 350 marks are expected to secure the 100 percentile and those securing in the range of 285 to 340 marks will obtain 99 to 99.99 percentile. CMAT merit list will include names of all the aspirants scoring CMAT score vs percentile from 0.005 to 100 percentile. Speed is not an issue at all as you have ample time available. Solving 100 questions in 3 hours is quite easy; hence time is not as important as accuracy is. I have slept for 20 to 40 minutes after completing test every year! The range of topics covered has become very important.
