Section-Wise Analysis of JMET 2005
Verbal Communication
- This section had three short passages followed by 4, 2 and 6 questions
respectively
- These 12 questions should definitely have been attempted as most of
the questions were direct
- There were 14 questions based on vocabulary in the form of analogy (4
Qs), synonyms (5 Qs) and antonyms (5 Qs)
- The remaining 14 questions were based on usage in the form of jumbled
sentences (4 Qs), grammatically correct sentence (5 Qs) and spotting the
incorrect phrase (5 Qs)
- Overall the section was very easy and one could have attempted about
30 questions in 30 minutes
Logical Reasoning
- This section was characterized by the presence of 8 data sufficiency
questions
- Other questions included two sets of analytical reasoning having 5
questions each, 11 questions on logical consistency, 7 questions on
critical reasoning and 4 questions on puzzles
- While you could have easily attempted data sufficiency questions, you
could have wasted a lot of time on the critical reasoning and the logical
consistency questions
- Overall the section was of average difficulty level with a mix of easy
and difficult questions
- If you could have picked up the right questions, an attempt of around
20 questions was possible in 30 minutes
|
Quantitative Ability
- The quant section of JMET was the most difficult one because of the
presence of questions on higher math
- The questions of higher math were from complex numbers (4 Qs),
functions (3 Qs), limits (2 Qs), differentiation (1 Q), integration (1 Q),
matrices (1 Q), determinants (1 Q), correlation coefficient (1 Q) and
vectors (1 Q)
- The remaining questions were largely from arithmetic and geometry
(about 10 Qs)
- Overall it was a very difficult section and hence it was possible to
attempt only about 10 questions in 30 minutes
Data Interpretation
- The data interpretation sets were difficult in terms of understanding
the data, but most of them could have been easily solved by mere
observation
- There were four sets in the form of graphs and one set in the form of
table
- One could have attempted around 15 questions in 30 minutes
