The CMAT 2023 exam was easy, but Quantitative Techniques questions were tough. This exam was easier than CAT.

The CMAT 2023 exam was good. According to me, the exam was easy because English and Reasoning sections were easy. I found Maths section bit tough because I was not well prepared for that. There was plenty of time to complete the paper.
Shubham
The exam went pretty well, but there were some difficult questions and on top of it, there’s negative marking. I found Logical Reasoning questions difficult. I have appeared for MAT exam too, compared to that CMAT was easier.
