Many Exact Matches in English Usage: Several of the word-confusions that we teach in our English usage lectures appeared in CAT 2007. Some examples are: further vs. farther, compliment vs. complement, besides vs. beside, stationary vs. stationery.

CAT 2007 was very like prepCATs 23, 27 and 28: Let us acknowledge that no one can exactly predict CAT. As a results, at Peak Seekers we have plenty of practice tests  and vary the format in each test. The logic is that if we try out many different types of tests, we will manage some that are like the real CAT. We were proven right as 3 of out prepCATs were quite similar to CAT 2007.

Our Belief in Data Sufficiency: Despite the fact that Data Sufficiency sometimes becomes controversial, we continue to think of it as a great quant tool for evaluating business thinking. So, despite the fact that the last two CATs did not have DS questions, we continued to include it in our curriculum, study material and prepCATs..

Level of Difficulty of Quant Questions: As CAT 2007 drew closer, our faculty members sensed that this year the CAT would be tougher in Quant. As a result in our later prepCATs (i.e., prepCAT21 onwards), we enhanced the overall level of difficulty of Quant.

Types of DI Questions: Many in the market of CAT coaching had started predicting that the day of the table and graph DI was over. But we believed that the CAT would not move entirely to caselets and analytical DI. As a result, we continued our thrust on Table based DIs. CAT 2007 makes us proud of that decision.

Terrible RC passages: As the CAT approached, we developed the belief that the RC passages would be quite tough. As a result, our later prepCATs had tough RC passages. Our CAT students who solved these tests would have developed the practice of solving tough RCs.

Mark Distribution in the Quant Section: Many CAT aspirants begin their CAT preparation by slogging on topics like: Ages, Partnership, Profit-and-Loss, Percentage, Speed and other topics of Arithmetic. This baffles us, as we have repeatedly observed that CAT focuses on Algebra, Geometry and Number Systems. In fact, our lecture plan is designed to focus on these topics first, so that our students have adequate time to develop a comfort level in Algebra, Geometry and Number Systems. This time, we had announced that we expected that these 3 topics would constitute 70% of the quant questions. CAT 2007 had 18 questions (out of 25) from Algebra, Geometry and Number Systems, proving us to be right with deadly accuracy.

No "None of These" Nonsense: Peak Seekers students noticed that we would rarely have the correct answer as "None of These" in our prepCATs. It was our belief that the CAT would do likewise. Once again, we were proven right. This is not a matter to be taken lightly. If "None of These" is not an answer choice, then we can quickly reverse-substitute the answer choices and choose the correct one, instead of actually solving the question.

The Appearance of a Peak Seekers prepCAT: If you look at the CAT 2006 test booklet, you will notice that it was formatted exactly like the Peak Seekers prepCATs. This helps only a bit, but the increased familiarity with the appearance of the test can be comforting to students. In fact, many Peak Seekers students claimed that it looked "exactly" like a Peak Seekers prepCAT.
