Built on what CAT actually asks

68

questions in 120 minutes: VARC 24, DILR 22, QA 22. Hope’s plan is built around this exact paper.

16

RC questions every year from 2021 to 2025 — two-thirds of VARC. Two full RC units reflect that.

2019–25

past papers analysed for topic frequency, so every lesson shows how often it has appeared.

~75

marks is the target: above the highest recent mark needed for 95 percentile, to stay safe in a tough year.

Pattern figures from published past-paper analyses (Cracku, Career Launcher, Careers360). Percentile marks are coaching estimates and change every year.
