Most Likely Questions for CAT 2009

I felt like an idiot when i walked out of my CAT test centre today. Man! I'd work out a quant problem in all earnestness and confidence to reach a solution that i couldn't be more convinced about. Then I'd look at the options and they'd all seem strange..... When this happens more than once, you can be sure that you're in that zone where no matter what you do the paper setter seems to be Christiano Ronaldo toying with an overweight hopeless third division defender.

Anyhow, based on current trends this is possibly how CAT 2009 is going to look......

Ok... well.... Lemme get this straight. I've got nothing against the paper setters of CAT. In all probability all their questions and choices were correct. People tell me that CAT this year was simpler than the last. Theres no doubt that I screwed up. And since I did, dont I reserve every right to be cranky? :)
