Real test conditions

Before you launch the test

This is the computer-based test format, not a quiz page: one clock, a question palette, and no way back once a section closes. Read these first.

  • It runs in full screen. The test takes over the screen when it starts, the way the real computer-based test does.
  • Leaving it is counted. Switching away is recorded and warned about; the third time, the paper is submitted for you.
  • The clock runs for 120 minutes. Set aside that long, uninterrupted. It starts when you begin, keeps running if you close the tab, and submits the paper at zero.
  • 3 timed sections. Each section has its own limit, and a section you have finished cannot be returned to.
  • On-screen calculator. The test provides one. Nothing else is needed, and nothing else is allowed.

About this test

CAT Mock Test 12: Full-Length VARC, DILR and QA Practice Paper

CAT Mock Test 12 is a full-length practice paper for the CAT exam, covering Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Ability. Its passages, logic sets and arithmetic problems are written in the CAT style. Aptitude360 gives a worked solution for every question.

What the CAT Mock Test 12 sections cover

  • VARC: reading passages on archives as a society's memory, software specifications, authenticity in folk music and bargaining in markets, plus para-summary, para-jumble and odd-sentence-out items
  • DILR: sets on a blind taste test of dishes, a guest lecture schedule, a marble doubling game and a city budget shown in pie charts
  • QA: ratios and ages, compound interest growth, boats and streams, work with nightly setbacks, percentage points, monthly investing, trains and relative speed, discount and profit, remainders, LCM and HCF, probability with waiting times, and quadratic roots

Concepts this CAT paper rewards

  • The difference between a change in percentage points and a percentage change
  • Why buying a fixed rupee amount each month gives an average price equal to the harmonic mean of the prices
  • Repeating remainder patterns for numbers written with one repeated digit
  • Probability with two uniform waiting times solved as an area on a square

Preparation tips for VARC, DILR and QA

  • In LCM and HCF problems, write both numbers as the HCF times two coprime factors.
  • In DILR, fill the grid from fixed clues first and test cases only after that.
  • For para-summary, reject any option that adds an idea the passage does not contain.

Who this mock is for

It suits CAT aspirants who have covered the syllabus and want a full paper to work on section-wise selection and accuracy.

Who conducts CAT?

What is a TITA question in CAT?
TITA stands for Type In The Answer. These questions have no answer options, so you type your answer into a box on screen.
How do you solve para-jumble questions?
Look for the sentence that introduces the topic, then link the rest through pronouns, connectors and the order of ideas. Pairs of sentences that must go together usually narrow the options quickly.
