CAT 2022 remains one of the most preparation-relevant CAT papers because it reflects the modern 66-question exam structure and introduced trends that continued into later years. Here is why every serious aspirant should solve CAT 2022 PYQ:
VARC — Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension
The CAT 2022 VARC section had 24 questions, all MCQ-based. Reading Comprehension dominated with 16 RC questions spread across four passages, while the remaining questions included para jumbles, para summaries, and odd sentence out. Passages were inference-heavy and required careful interpretation rather than direct fact retrieval.
Quick strategy tip: Because every VARC question carried negative marking, avoid random guessing. Focus on high-confidence RC attempts and use elimination aggressively in para summary questions.
CatMock is designed specifically for serious CAT aspirants who want authentic practice without distractions or paywalls.
