Major Change in the Test pattern of CAT 2011: Yes, we can say this as a major change because before there used to be 3 sections but now there are only two sections which comprises of : Section 1: Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation Section 2: Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning . Time Limit for each section is 70 min in the CAT exam 2011: Now, there is a time limit of 70 minutes for each section and this can also be treated as a new change in the pattern of CAT 2011 exam as there is no sectional time limit in previous years of CAT exam and both the sections will have 30 questions each. You don't have the choice for section that is easy for you and first you will have the Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation section followed by Verbal Ability and logical Reasoning in the second section. You cannot come back to your previous section in CAT 2011 exam: There will be no option to end the first section of the test before the full duration of 1 hour 10 mins is up. In the second section, if you are ready to end your test even if there is still time remaining (you would not be allowed to go out of the test centre until the test is over), click on ‘Quit Test’ at the bottom of the screen. If you have questions that are incomplete, you will be prompted by a pop-up box. Click ‘No’ to return to the test, or ‘Yes’ to end the test and also in this new test pattern once you complete 70 minutes you will be moved to your next section automatically and you can move front and back with in that particular section in the period of 70 minutes once you have done to next section you cannot come back to previous section.
