Frequently asked questions
Are these CAT mock tests really free?
Yes. All 3 full-length mocks, 9 sectional tests, solutions, results, the mistake notebook, the daily challenge and AI hints are free. You need a free ProCounsel account so your attempts and timer can be saved.
Are the questions from past CAT papers?
No. Every question is an original written by ProCounsel in the CAT pattern: the same sections, question types (multiple choice and type-in) and timing. They are not past CAT papers and not official IIM material.
Do the mocks follow the CAT 2026 pattern?
They follow the pattern in the CAT 2026 press release: 3 sections in a fixed order, 40 minutes each, 120 minutes in all, marked +3 for a correct answer, -1 for a wrong MCQ and 0 for a wrong type-in answer. The number of questions per section in CAT 2026 is announced only after the exam.
Can I pause a mock and come back later?
Yes. The timer and your answers are saved on the server as you go, so if your connection drops or you close the tab, you resume from the same point.
Will my mock score tell me my CAT percentile?
No. A mock score shows how you did on our questions; it cannot give an official CAT percentile, which the IIMs publish only with the result. Use it to find weak sections and track progress.
How many mocks should I take before CAT?
With the exam on Sunday, 29 Nov 2026, take a full-length mock every few days, then spend at least as long reviewing it as taking it. The review, not the number of mocks, is where scores improve.
