The real CAT screen, before the real CAT

Practise on the interface you will face on exam day, so nothing on the screen costs you time:

  • Question palette with CAT’s colour codes: answered, not answered, not visited, marked for review
  • Mark for Review & Next, Clear Response, Save & Next, exactly as in the exam
  • An answer counts only when you save it, as in CAT
  • On-screen keypad for para-jumbles and odd sentence out
  • Countdown timer and auto-submit at 40 minutes

Questions about the mocks

What is a CAT VARC sectional mock?

A timed test of only the Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension section: 24 questions in 40 minutes, with 4 reading comprehension passages (16 questions) and 8 verbal ability questions (para-jumbles, odd sentence out, para-summary and sentence placement), marked exactly like CAT.

How close is it to the real CAT?

The pattern, question mix, timing and marking follow the latest CAT VARC section, and the test runs on a screen modelled on the CAT exam interface: question palette with the same colour codes, Mark for Review & Next, Clear Response, Save & Next, an on-screen keypad for type-in answers and a countdown timer.

How is the CAT VARC percentile estimated?

Your score out of 72 is compared with published CAT 2023 to 2025 VARC score-versus-percentile data and shown as a range. It is an estimate: the real percentile depends on how hard the actual paper is.

What is the marking scheme?

+3 for a correct answer, −1 for a wrong multiple-choice answer, and no negative marking on type-in-the-answer questions such as para-jumbles and odd sentence out.

What does the ₹199 pack include?

Mocks 2 to 9, released between 24 October and 27 November 2026, each with a full result: score, section split, estimated percentile, rank among GRADFLIX takers and every answer explained. One payment, no renewal, valid till CAT 2027.

Is a GRADFLIX reading plan enough to take the mocks?

No. Reading plans unlock essay questions and explanations. The mock pack is a separate one-time purchase of ₹199, so you only pay for the mocks if you want them.

Is there a free CAT VARC mock?

Yes. Mock 1 is free for everyone, forever. Sign in to see your score and explanations.

Can I take a mock more than once?

Your first attempt counts for score and rank, just like the real exam. You can revisit your result and explanations any time.
