Executive Summary

JMET 2007 provides no respite to the students. Overall, JMET 2007 could be considered difficult as compared to JMET 2006 except for Verbal communication section, which was a pleasant change from last year’s paper. Like last year, the paper had 4 sections- VC, LR, QA and DI. As compared to last year DI was difficult, LR was tricky but the section that stumped most of the students was QA.

 

Verbal communication was a mix of medium and higher-level difficulty questions. Questions on grammar and RC were easy and do-able while those on vocabulary were slightly difficult and tricky.

 

The paper consisted of 150 questions which were to be solved in 120 minutes. The paper was broadly divided into 4 sections where correct answers carried 1 mark and incorrect answers carried negative 0.25 marks each.
