Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The diagnostic, the report and the 30-minute call are all free. You sign up on Optima Learn with Google or your phone number so we can save your report and set up the call.
Do I need to prepare first?
No. It measures where you are today, so come as you are. Keep a pen and paper ready. Calculators aren't allowed, same as CAT.
How does an adaptive test work?
Answer fast and right, and the next question gets harder. Miss one or run out of time, and it gets easier. Your score blends the level you hold with how quickly you get there.
How long does it take?
Up to 20 minutes per section: 20 questions for Quant and DILR, 5 passages for VARC. Every question has its own timer, so nobody gets stuck on one question for ten minutes.
Who will I talk to on the call?
An IIM Ahmedabad or FMS Delhi alum who has cleared CAT with a 99+ percentile. You go through your report together and leave with a week-by-week plan.
Should I take all three sections?
One section unlocks the call. All three give the full picture: your report adds up the hours you need across Quant, DILR and VARC.
Is the percentile a prediction?
No. It's an estimate of where you'd land if CAT were today, based on your level and speed. It moves as you prepare.
Can I retake it?
Yes. The test picks questions you haven't seen before wherever it can, so a retake shows real progress.
