CATastrophe- My date with CAT '09 !

My bad I wrote the test on 29th. Never had a clue tat test was easy. My mistake was I kept respecting the paper thinking the next section is gonna be a li'l tougher and in the end could attempt only 38. I think one thing that people in most of the forums are failing to point out regarding this year's CAT is that people have gone in with a lot more aggressive attitude after initial 3 days of exams and they never under went the trauma which the poor one's who wrote early went through of what the LOD of the test is going to be. I know it was up to an individual to pick the slot but being rational enough, we must understand that it wasn't the "Level Playing Field", as the IIM authorities mentioned it. Regarding my experience on the test day. It was a pleasant experience for me, with so much of hype of the high profile test failing to deliver, somehow our personal tensions pertaining to exam vanished. The authorities at the center were co-operative after the kind of attention they had received country wide a day before. The only issue I had was that I was waiting for their signal to look at the tutorial which unfortunately they din't and waved directly to take the exam. I also managed to click the end button couple of times during the test which left my heart in mouth. I am all for re-test because I feel it has somehow been unfair to all of us. We all know deep down somewhere that this wasn't the CAT we were preparing for months. This wasn't even level of MAT which we poke so much fun off but again that is my opinion.
Comments are most welcomed. [:)]

how can u be so sure that ppl who have attempted 45+ have done that with accuracy. accuracy rate is wat matters in da end. wat happened with u would have happened with othere also.... and moreover talks are that percentile would be paper-wise so thats a sort of breezer....
