MFC Entrance Test 2008
Compared to last year, this year�s written test for MFC was relatively on the
easier side. Each section had 60 questions. As usual, the major constituents of
the Quantitative section were Number System, Algebra and Geometry, which
accounted for as many as 43 out of the 60 questions. The Data Interpretation
and Logical reasoning section had a good mix of data sufficiency, proper DI
based questions and 5 moderate level questions each from inferences, course of
action, assumption, assertion and reasoning category. Verbal Ability was
fairly straightforward with questions on reading comprehension; fill in the
blanks, synonyms antonyms,
right meaning of the phrase and analogies. In fact, the verbal section was so
easy that one could easily have maximized the score in it.
Each question carried 1 mark, with negative marks of 0.25
deducted for each wrong answer.
One could have easily attempted close to 140 questions within a span of 120
minutes. With a realistic accuracy of 85% in such a paper, an attainable score
is around 120.
