IMS, CL, TIME - Which Mock Test Is The Best? | A Detailed Analysis

Career Launcher: VARC was a bit on the easier side. The ones which could play the role of confidence booster for you if you’re struggling with VARC. DILR is mostly doable, and has a very nice variety of sets. They will not be very tricky and one can get the approach to solving them too on thinking a little. Just sometimes they make unnecessarily difficult DILR sets which doesn’t really help when it comes to framing and executing strategy. QA I could not find a better match. QA was exactly like a CAT aspirant should be doing, questions were testing aptitude, less calculations and more of logic approach can be developed with this type of QA.
Interface of the test is not exactly like CAT though.
For Analysis, free zoom sessions are conducted after every countdown mock. And GP ka Funda for QA was a well framed video series, the way a question should be approached is very nicely taught. The most difficult questions would have the easiest solution if GP sir would guide with the step wise procedure.

T.I.M.E: Very well researched VARC, I loved reading the passages. And the answers had such good
explanations, that one can learn from them what is the approach to think for the RC section and how should one go about it henceforth. The articles were just like CAT level. Good DILR too, with a new variety of sets which can be thought-provoking. QA, I found to be on the difficult side, topics went beyond the expected CAT syllabus. It can prepare you for a bad day in case the situation arises.
Interface isn’t CAT type.
Analysis is well defined for the mocks. Explanations would not just answer the questions, but go way beyond and give alternative viewpoints and alternate approaches to the same question. They are nice for someone who likes digging deeper and having an ace up one’s sleeve.

My two cents: Since all of them have their pros and cons, and a single mock won’t suffice, it is always better to get a taste of all of them. You can learn something from each of them. Thus, my suggestion would be to get into a group where everyone takes a different mock, and for about 2-3 of them you can exchange your test series with your friends. Also you should have a primary and a secondary mock, primary among these3, seconday I would write in an another post. But two mocks is a good way to go forward. This way you can get the best out of each and be prepared for the D Day, however good day or bad day it turns out to be.
Till then, stay true to the prep!
