Can we take our pencils or one coloured pen (for ease of writing) to exam? What will be the size of though notebook that they will provide? Can I ask for more than one notebook?

Nopes. And nopes.

They will provide one A5 size notepad containing 16 sheets. You can ask but they don't give any more to you. They clearly mention this at the beginning that no more though work space would be provided.

You cannot carry any stationery item - pen, pencil scale etc - to the centre. They will provide one pen at the beginning which would have to be returned at the end of the test. You will also return the notepad to the invigilator and your ID and name will be written at the front page

Whatever work needs to be done, needs to be managed only in that space.

Is it true that Slot 1/ 2 / 3 is Difficult / Easy? Which slot is difficult? Which slot is easier to score?

1) The question itself is moot as you have been allotted a slot and you are going to have to deal with it. Whether you have to wake up at 5 AM or be stressed till evening is ALL immaterial

2) There maybe changes in the difficulty levels across the slots and it might vary between the sections as well. But that's something which is really out of our control and definitely not something we can predict

3) If all slots were of the same difficulty level, some slots would have an unfair advantage because they would get to work with some feedback as well as extra time to prepare

4) And lastly, a little bit of faith. Every year the exam is conducted for More than 2 lakh students and it would do us well to assume that the CAT convenors know their testing approaches.

These couple of days will be tough. You might not be in a mood to prepare. Festivities all around you.

And it's OK.

Take a well deserved break.

Recuperate, rejuvenate yourself and resume from Thursday.
