Mathematical Ability
The Arithmetical Ability part had a good mixture of questions from different topics and of varying difficulty level. A good understanding as well as application of concepts and awareness of different models was a pre-requisite to get a good score. Though there was a little variation in the weightage of topics when compared to the previous year, the dominant topics were the same. Though there were some questions based on direct application of the formulae, there were more questions which required the application of concepts. On the whole, this part was time consuming. However, a thorough practice could have yielded a good score.

The Pure Math part in the paper had some difficult questions spread across at regular intervals, thereby scaring the test taker. Most questions, though appeared to be simple on the face of it, were deceptively lengthy. This would have also shaken the test aspirant.
