FMS 2005 Analysis

FMS 2005 was on the pattern of FMS 2004. But there were no questions on DI and GK this time. Otherwise the number of questions was also the same as that of last year.

On the whole, students coming out of the examination hall would have attempted around 110+ questions. Very good students would have touched 125 attempts with a strike rate of around 80+%. It is expected that the cutoff will be higher than last year and would be around 320-340.

Reasoning

This area had small cases with 3-4 questions as well as individual questions. The questions were of moderate level of difficulty. A good student could have attempted around 25 questions and got 15+ right.

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

The Verbal Ability area had easy questions on Fill-in-the-blanks, and slightly more difficult questions on Synonyms, Antonyms and Analogies. The RC passages of this paper were long but the saving grace was that the questions were very easy. A good student of RC should have got at least 40 questions in this area right.

Quantitative Ability

This area had a mix of questions with questions coming from most of the topics. Many of the questions were easy and it would not have been too difficult picking these easy ones. A good student should have got 25+ questions right.
