CAT 2025 Question Paper FAQs
Downloads and Practice
Can I use CAT 2025 papers for CAT 2026?+
Yes. The papers cover VARC, DILR and QA topics used in CAT preparation. Use the question count and marking scheme for the year of the paper when comparing your attempts.
Is a section PDF a full CAT mock?+
A full CAT attempt includes VARC, DILR and QA from the same slot. A single section can be attempted separately for sectional practice.
Can I calculate a percentile from my old-paper score?+
A practice score cannot give an exact CAT percentile. Percentile depends on the performance of the candidates who took that examination; the official process also accounts for different sessions.
Should I read the answer key while solving?+
Attempt the questions before reading the answers. During scoring, use the final key for the same year and slot. A candidate’s selected response may be incorrect.
Are the on-page practice questions actual CAT PYQs?+
No. The practice set contains original CAT-style questions. The result reports accuracy for that set, not a CAT score or percentile.
How should I review a DILR set with several wrong answers?+
Check the shared table or arrangement first. One missed condition can change several answers. Rebuild the set, then identify whether each wrong answer came from that common error or from a separate calculation.
