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 5: Full-Length VARC, DILR and QA Paper with Solutions

CAT Mock Test 5 is a full-length CAT practice paper covering all three sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Ability. Its passages range from village moneylending to the fairness of queues, and its DILR sets cover a film society, store sales, a silent auction and app downloads. Aptitude360 gives a detailed solution for every question.

What this CAT mock paper covers

  • VARC: reading comprehension on moneylending, model organisms in biology, 'untranslatable' words and queues; paragraph summary; para jumbles; odd sentence out
  • DILR: film screening schedule, store sales table, silent auction bidding logic, monthly app downloads and premium revenue
  • QA: variable-rate compound interest, relative speed with trains, pipes and cisterns, population change, profit and discount, averages after transfers, time and work, quadratics with integer roots, rational inequalities, function composition, fractional part

Key concepts for CAT preparation

  • Identifying the author's central argument and tone in reading comprehension
  • Spotting opening sentences and linking words in para jumbles
  • Building grids and tables for arrangement-based DILR sets
  • Sign changes across critical points in rational inequalities, excluding values where the denominator is zero
  • Using the sum and product of roots to find integer-root conditions

Revision tips for VARC, DILR and QA

  • Grasp the main argument of each passage before reading the options.
  • In DILR, scan every set first and start with the ones whose constraints are clearest.
  • Treat successive percentage changes as multiplying factors instead of adding percentages.
