whats the mark scheme for these extra questions.is it possible to score 350+ without attempting these extra 12 questions

ya it is possible to score 350+ without the extra 12 questions but people who have the caliber to score 350 wil surely go for the extra 12....Again a word of caution dont be tempted to attempt the extra 12 unless u have ample time and enough confidence

if a student gets 1-3 or 4 marks less than the 80% criterion will the BITS authorities consider his score for the min qualification.

@Worried: Chemistry can be complete in 2 months if you are really serious....Follow only one book which you find easy(like Arrihant) and prepare from it....Spend enough time on Chemistry everyday(atleast 3 hrs for your preparation) then you can surely get above average marks in BITSAT
@Anonymous: No...they wont...A score of 80% is a must...even if u get 79.99% you are not eligible

please advice me as to how i should prepare for english and logical reasoning part of bitsat . my eng is quite strong. will joining in PAGE for a one week course for english and logical reasoning be useful or will i be wasting three hrs per day on this also suggest some books for these topics

@vasundhra : Please dont post it under the wrong topic...English is something you should have learnt all throughout your life....Bitsat English is not that tough...the exercises are similar to CAT English but not as tough as CAT....I don't think you will learn a lot in 7 days....Spend more time in solving the question papers at home....If you feel you are low on confidence then such short coaching might help....Otherwise no use...
Prepare from CAT related material and for grammar and other related topics your 11 and 12 English is enough

I scored 264 marks last year, but still they did not select me, although the cut off was 264. Why do such rubbish things happen? Two students having the same score, but only one gets selected...why? that's rubbish from BITS's side.

@tapan: You liar :P the cutoff for Bitsat dual degree in Pilani campus was 263...hyd 248 so I am sure you are just trying to waste my time...or you were a fool who did not apply for dual degrees
Here is the link for the bitsat 2009 cutoffs Click here
The good thing about Bits is that we dont have any fixed number of seats for any discipline...So 2 students with same marks will get the same degree in all cases

@Utkarsh: If you have prepared well for JEE then you have a good chance of cracking BITSAT.....Complete the extra topics which are not present in JEE during this time and practice as many online papers as possible :)

is it absolutely necessary to attempt the extra 12 questions if one is to score above 350?..if not then how do i score 350+....also many people have said that most people who clear BITSAT get a rank in IITJEE...is it true?
ARVIND THATIKONDA
· 8 months ago
@utkarsh : Any book is good...see it to that you complete your syllabus
@Devendra: One can even attempt 135-140 questions to get a score of 350+...Attempting the extra 12 depends on how much risk you are willing to take People generally write all exams with same efforts...So it is true that most people who get a score of above 350+ clear JEE....on the other hand the cutoff for compsci which has more than 100 seats is around 350...so there are many who couldnt clear JEE but got a good score in BITSAT :)

thank god...that really boosts my confidence....i will manage around 155 in JEE out of 480 this year...do i stand a chance..also is it possible to change our stream after the first year?
Devendra

do i stand a chance as in chance in BITSAT...
ARVIND THATIKONDA
· 8 months ago
@Devendra: 155 might be the cutoff score for JEE according to many experts :) so you have performed decently in JEE
BITSAT is a different exam though the concepts are same...it is more about time management and your memory rather than your critical analysis.... So if you complete and revise your syllabus you have great chance of getting a score above 350 :)

how can i attempt those 12 extra questions,if i don't know the ans of few questions,will leaving the question blank would do...and proceed to next question

what is the method of skipping in order to attempt the extra questions
ARVIND THATIKONDA
· 8 months ago
@devendra: :)
@pari: No you cannot leave any question blank if you want to attempt the exra 12 questions....you will have to guess few questions...attempt all 150 questions and then go for the extra 12....
Guessing is an art to be practiced even while writing a mock test...if you are not good at guessing don't do it....it will have bad effects

@krishna : These 12 questions are supposed to be tough...but all those who attempted them found it to be easy...maybe their level of preparation was different
In general they are tough
And questions mostly will be of lower level compared to AIEEE
