Dont be so paranoid. Yes the data leak causes some headache and raises serious
qs but then this issue is not in the public domain and this will be taken up
seriously by the media, IIMs and Prometric themselves.

A lawsuit has been filed in a court here charging Bollywood superstar Amitabh

quick reaction. Any such a reaction regarding cat so far???

I dont know the details of the lawsuit but my take on it is that atleast
someone is highlighting this rare disease by dedicating a movie to it. Hope
this creates awareness and a more nuanced response to the disabled from the
abled.

mp:
This is an important question. Please answer this also. do you think that
points /marks for all questions are not same ?? Because they are say that they
will follow GMAT pattern for evaluation.
saikumar:
Dont speculate. Let the IIMs clarify on this. If the Qs didnt have the same
weightage then the IIMs should have clarified this. They cant fix marks after
the test is over. If some Qs had more weightage students would have attempted
them over the others. The statement of Prof. Deodhar looks ridiculous to say
the least.

had been attempted later and did so as well but now some people(On Various
forums) are saying that the questions which were marked are not being submitted
even if you had attempted them later and marked the answers (In case if those
questions were not unmarked afterbeing solved). What do you think about this
matter ?
krishnakumar:
The tutorial very clearly states that even if you had not unmarked the
questions later, they will be valued. So, no worry on that score
