CATindiaOnline - Online CAT testing with some cool analytics
When it comes to standardized tests in India, none generates as much interest and buzz as the CAT exams. There are lots of online as well as offline resources for CAT preperation and testing. While I have reviewed a few online CAT testing sites and get emails from even more, very few have caught my interest like CATindiaOnline.
At the surface, CATindiaOnline is just yet another CAT testing site. The site offers mock CAT tests, including previous CAT papers and topic wise tests. The biggest value offered by the site, which I believe is also their USP, is the awesome analytics regarding a user’s performance. The site offers in-depth analysis of a candidate’s performance - topic wise, section wise, comparative analysis, time based analysis (are you improving on subsequent tests) etc., all of which offers tremendous value to the user. At the end of the test, the site also offers recommendations about how the user can improve and score better results on subsequent tests.
