CAT FAQs

How does CAT differ from XAT / NMAT / SNAP in your prep?

Tag CAT as primary; we surface overlap practice for XAT / NMAT / SNAP / TISSNET automatically. Each exam still gets its own mocks for format familiarity.

Will the AI help me pick which IIMs to apply to?

Yes — feature CRS-02 (college picker) uses your projected %ile + IIM cutoff history to rank realistic + reach options.

Do you have video solutions for LR sets?

Most DILR sets have a video walkthrough by a 99+ %ile mentor in addition to the text solution. ~85% coverage as of May 2026.

How accurate is the percentile prediction?

Mean absolute error of 2.8 percentile points on last-cohort hold-out. Always reported as a range (p10/p50/p90), never a single number.
