CAT 2017 Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension Analysis

Contrary to expectation (which was based on the sample paper), there were a few surprises in this section. The summary questions became MCQ based and carried negative marking. The passages were easy to read but the options were deceptively close. They were so tricky that the section became time consuming.

Out of the five passages, only one was a tedious read. The passages came from expected areas like Economics, Biology, Current Technical Trend etc. One passage was on creativity which was very interesting. One passage on typewriters was really short in length (around 250 words). Around 16 out of 24 questions were based on main idea and inference. The other questions were factual in nature. Tone questions remained absent. In almost 12-13 questions, two options were almost identical. Hence, it became extremely time consuming to answer these.

The four subjective para jumble questions were, as per expectation, time consuming and futile. A student should have just guessed these and concentrated on RCs. The three odd sentence para jumble questions were really easy.

The three summary questions carried negative marks. And the topics were very tedious to read. In one summary question, all the options were identical as they started with the same stem. Hence, a student should have read the questions carefully.

The overall difficulty level of the section is moderate. A good attempt will be 25-27 with around 90% accuracy.

Surprises: The section was not an exact replica of last year. Idea based questions dominated. Summary questions carried negative marks.

Reading Comprehension
(24 Questions)
Reading Comprehension24There were total 5 passages - three passages (500-550 words each approximately) and two passages (350 words, 250 words). The three passages had 6 questions each and the other two had 3 questions each.
One passage could have looked tedious. All the other passages were really interesting to read. Majority of the questions were idea based. One should have attempted 4 passages and aimed for a 80% accuracy. The options were very close. So, it became time consuming.
Verbal Ability
(10 Questions)
Para-jumble45 Sentence type. Two were very easy. One was tricky and one was extremely confusing. As these had no negative marking, one should have attempted all without wasting a lot of time. The trick was to identify the opening sentence and go ahead with the mandatory pair. There were quite a few clue words. Prior practice and awareness of deductive paragraphs were the key.
Summary3Small paragraph of about 150 words followed by four options. Elimination of options made the task easy. However, one question had almost all identical options. It was MCQ based. So, one should not have guessed these questions.
Para-jumble (Odd sentence out)35 sentence paragraphs and one was the odd sentence. Simple paragraphs with short sentences. One paragraph was on Sports. Correct answer was easy due to the thematic difference. One needed to have practice of identifying mandatory pairs.
