To fall in 90+ %tile group you need to score atlest 120–130+ marks

Overall attempt should be 55+ questions with 85–90 % accuracy

3 section

QUANTS - 16+ questions out of 34

VERBAL - 16+ questions out of 34

LRDI - atleast 4 sets out of 8 set (no. Of questions in sets may differ )

So if you attempt 55–60% of total paper with 90%+ accuracy you can even cross 95%tile .

All the best!

Dear Anany



If you want to get more than 90percentile. You should attempt overall  48-52 questions (16-17 questions from each section)  questions with 90-95% accuracy in CAT Exam.



But let me help you with something . Percentile depends on number of students appearing for the exam, level of difficulty of the exam and number of questions attempted by the students .



If level of exam is very hard you can get more than 90% even after attempt 38-42 questions (14-15 questions from each section) with more than 90% accuracy.



In case level of exam is easy , then you need to attempt more questions around 55-58 questions  (19-20 questions from each section) with more than 90% accuracy.





Thank you !



All the best !!

Hi Anany, in order to achieve 90 percentile, you need to answer at least 15-20 questions from each of the three sections accurately. CAT carries negative marking for the MCQ which will make you lose 1 mark for each wrong answer. Therefore, study well and attempt the questions correctly.

All the best!
