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 24 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, so time left in Quant cannot be borrowed from VARC any more than it can in the exam. 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 returns 60+ measurements — accuracy, time spent per question against the time it warranted, difficulty bands, and attempt quality — with the weakest topics named rather than left for you to infer. Prasnya is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the IIMs or any examination body.
The scopes
Or sit one section instead of a whole paper
A sectional mock is scored exactly the way a full paper is, under the same 40-minute clock the section gets in the real exam. Below a section, the same engine will build a mock from one chapter, one topic or one subtopic.

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 very 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
The questions
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), 2023 (3 slots), 2022 (3 slots), 2021 (3 slots), 2020 (3 slots), 2019 (2 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 and sectional timing?
- Both. Three marks for a correct answer, minus one for an incorrect MCQ, no negative marking on TITA — and the clock runs per section in the real order, VARC then DILR then Quant, with no way back once a section's time is up. Papers from 2017 to 2019 are timed under the 180-minute pattern they were actually sat under.
- How many mocks can I take?
- Plus includes one start of each paper mock plus sectional mocks and basic analysis; Pro lifts every cap and adds topic and subtopic mocks plus the full analysis suite. The 1-day trial gives Pro-level access to everything first.
- What do I get after submitting?
- An attempt report of 69 measurements across 7 groups: score and accuracy, time per question against the time it warranted, difficulty bands, attempt quality, section movement, 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 67/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 1 day of full access first, without a card.
