About this practice mock

This is test 1 of 5 in TestMint's independently created CAT 2026 practice series (Baseline Assessment & Familiarisation). It covers all 3 official-pattern sections — VARC, DILR, and Quantitative Aptitude — with 68 questions across 120 minutes (40 minutes per section), including non-MCQ (TITA) questions, matching the current CAT structure. MCQs carry +3/-1 marking; TITA questions carry +3 with no negative marking.

Who should take this test

Anyone starting CAT 2026 preparation taking their first full-length mock, ideally before section-wise study begins.

What this test helps measure

Your section-wise accuracy, speed, and — most importantly for CAT — your judgement in selecting which questions to attempt within a strict, non-revisitable 40-minute window per section.

Preparation tip

Focus on question selection — deciding which questions to skip is as valuable as answering correctly, especially in DILR.
