CAT (Common Admission Test) follows this pattern:
- Questions: 68
- Total marks: 204
- Duration: 2 hours
- Difficulty: Medium
Crackto mock tests mirror this exactly, so your practice reflects real timing pressure rather than an approximation.
Crackto provides comprehensive analytics for every CAT attempt:
- Score trend across attempts, so improvement is visible rather than assumed
- Section-wise breakdown pinpointing which areas cost you marks
- Accuracy versus speed, separating knowledge gaps from time-management gaps
- Percentile and rank against every other CAT aspirant on the same paper
- Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock
Yes, absolutely. Retake any CAT mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.
Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.
CAT, formally Common Admission Test, is conducted by Indian Institutes of Management- IIMs.

CAT is available in English.
Where a Crackto mock test is offered in more than one language, you can pick your language before starting the paper — practising in the language you will actually sit the exam in matters more than most candidates expect.
Crackto mirrors the official marking scheme of CAT rather than applying a single blanket rule, so if the real paper penalises wrong answers, the mock does too.
The exact scheme for any given paper — marks per correct answer and the penalty for a wrong one — is displayed on that test's page before you begin, and again in your results breakdown afterwards.
The CAT syllabus is set out in full in the syllabus section of this page, broken down by subject area.
Crackto mock tests are mapped to that syllabus, so your section-wise analytics tell you which parts of it you have actually covered and which you have been avoiding.
