So it’s been finally officially declared that the CAT 2009 will be a computer based test. Right now it’s not very clear that whether it will be computer adaptive test (CAT) like GMAT in which next question will depend on your marking of the previous question i.e if you mark the previous question right then a more difficult question will come else the less difficult one or not. Also in CAT (Computer Adaptive Test) the marks to each question varies according to its difficulty.
Here is one excerpt:
“The CAT will be conducted at Prometric centers across the country. The locations of these centers will be determined only after all applications have been received. Students will get some idea about how to prepare for this year’s test when the CAT advertisements and booklets are released,” said IIM Bangalore (IIM-B) Professor Amarnath Krishnaswamy.
