What is a CAT mock test on Prasnya?
A CAT mock on Prasnya is a released slot paper put under the clock, not a set of invented questions. Any of the 10 published slots can be started as a full timed attempt with the real section order and the real marking scheme — three marks for a correct answer, minus one for an incorrect MCQ, no penalty on TITA. A question palette tracks what you have answered, flagged and skipped, and the timer runs per section. When a full paper is the wrong test, the same engine will assemble one out of a single section, chapter, topic or subtopic, scored identically. Submission is where the value is: each attempt is broken down into accuracy, time spent per question against the time the question warranted, difficulty bands, and attempt quality — perfect, wasted, overtime, confused — with the weakest topics named rather than left for you to infer from a score.
Scored the way CAT scores it
| Outcome | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct MCQ | +3 |
| Incorrect MCQ | −1 |
| Correct TITA | +3 |
| Incorrect TITA | 0 |
| Unattempted | 0 |
What the report gives back
- Score, accuracy and marks lost, against the attempted set rather than the whole paper
- Time per question, compared with the time that question warranted
- Difficulty bands, so an easy question missed reads differently from a hard one
- Attempt quality: perfect, wasted, overtime, confused
- Section movement across the attempt, and where the clock ran out
- Question-by-question review of the whole paper on Pro
Questions people ask
- Are these real CAT papers or simulated mocks?
- Real. Every mock is assembled from a released CAT slot paper — 2025 (3 slots), 2024 (3 slots), 2018 (2 slots), 2017 (2 slots). Nothing is authored in-house.
- Can I take a sectional mock instead of a full paper?
- Yes. A mock can be built from one section, one chapter, one topic or one subtopic, and it is scored exactly the way a full paper is. That is the difference between knowing your QA is weak and knowing it is remainders specifically.
- Does the mock use CAT's marking scheme?
- Yes — three marks for a correct answer, minus one for an incorrect MCQ, and no negative marking on TITA questions, which is how CAT scores them.
- How many mocks can I take?
- Plus includes four paper-mock starts and basic analysis; Pro makes paper mocks unlimited and adds week, topic and subtopic mocks plus the full analysis suite. The 2-day trial gives Pro-level access to everything first.
- What do I get after submitting?
- An attempt report covering score and accuracy, time per question against the time the question warranted, difficulty bands, attempt quality, and the topics that lost the most marks. Pro adds a question-by-question review of the whole paper.
- Is Prasnya affiliated with the IIMs?
- No. Prasnya is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the IIMs or any examination body. The questions are transcribed from released CAT papers.
- What does it cost?
- Plans start at Rs 69/month, with Plus at Rs 129/month and Pro at Rs 149/month. Each is a one-time payment for one month — nothing auto-renews and no card is stored. New accounts get 2 days of full access first, without a card.
