BITSAT 2022: Analysis of 4th and 5th July papers of BITSAT along with some memory-based questions

BITSAT has started from 4th July in its new pattern and same is true for experience of students this year. In this article we bring you detailed analysis of papers attempted by various student on 4th and 5th July and also will be sharing some important questions and insights for students who are yet to attempt the exam.

This article is based on the interaction of Academic team of Masterclass Space (MCS) BITSAT Test Series with students of Masterclass Space BITSAT Test Series. Also, since paper of BITSAT is completely different for each student, hence this analysis is sum up of various tests our students attempted in last 2 days and not limited to one particular set of paper.

 

First and foremost, many students felt that level of questions was little higher as compared to papers of past years. This was very much expected as the number of questions have been decreased keeping the time same and MCS team had already incorporated that in its revised test series of 2022.

 

Secondly, level of 4-5 (out of 20 as per New Pattern of BITSAT 2022) logical reasoning question was very good and students had to spend good amount of time in such questions. BEWARE of such questions in your exam, you MUST NOT spend too much time on any question as it can very badly affect your speed. Try to mark them for review and come back once you have attempted other questions.

 

As far as English was concerned, students found some new vocabulary terms difficult but otherwise it was manageable. Extremely lengthy comprehension with only 2 questions took some students by surprise.

 

Coming to Mathematics section, the difficulty level was on higher side and as many as 6-7 questions required extensive calculations. Students were mostly expecting the same though as same has been trend of Mathematics section in JEE 2022 Session-1 and same was true also in initial 2 days of BITSAT.

 

Chemistry and Physics were of NCERT and slightly higher level and that's where BITSAT was marks-scoring and time-saving for most of students. Those who could capitalize on these 2 sections were able to spend good time in remaining portions.

 

Overall, level of BITSAT was higher as compared to previous years but our students were well prepared for the same and hence were able to do good.

(a) 98

(b) 106

(c) 100

(d) 102

Ans:d

 

Mathematics:

11. If the difference between mean and mode is 21, then the difference between mean and median is

Get Ready For BITSAT New Exam Pattern 2022

This year's BITS Admission Test (BITSAT) will have a new testing format in 2022. It is anticipated that the exam will feature a smaller number of questions and a higher portion on Logical Reasoning. 

This year, the exam will be offered in two separate sessions. Candidates have the option of taking either or both examinations. Candidates who only applied for Session I now have the option to register for Session II in the future if they so choose. 

It has been reduced to 130 questions overall, but the number of Logical Reasoning problems has increased. It's a multiple-choice test, and there are four possible responses to each question, with only one being the correct one. Each correct answer fetches 3 marks, whereas each incorrect response carries a penalty of 1 mark. Find out more about the BITSATtest in this article. The BITSAT will be conducted across a number of days, and candidates can select the testing centre, day, and time that work best for them. 

What's in store for BITSAT in 2022? 

●     Two sessions of the BITSAT test will be held prior to the start of the academic year.

●     After appearing in the first session, candidates can apply for the second session as well.

●     The second round of applications is only open to those who applied for Session 1.

●     Candidates are not required to take the test in both sessions, but if they do, the higher of the two scores will be considered.

●     Question count has been trimmed down to 130.

●     As of today, Logical Reasoning contains 20 questions.

●     The 12 new questions also cover logical reasoning. 

Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology, and Logical Reasoning & English comprise four sections of the BITSAT, which will feature a total of 130 questions. Each section has the following number of questions: 

 

Part	Subject	No of questions
Part I	Physics	30
Part II	Chemistry	30
Part III	(a) English Proficiency,	10
	(b) Logical Reasoning	20
Part IV	Mathematics / Biology	40
Total		130

 

BITSAT New Pattern 2022: Additional Questions

In addition to the 150 questions, candidates will be given an additional 12 questions in BITSAT 2022. These 12 additional questions will be presented to the applicants who finish the initial test. 

But these additional questions need to be tackled inside these 3 hours only. The division of these additional questions is: 

Physics: 4 questions

Chemistry: 4 questions

Mathematics/Biology: 4 questions

NOTE: Candidates who choose to answer these 12 extra questions are not allowed to go back to the original exam and make any changes in those 130 answers. 

The questions in BITSAT are prepared in a way that a good student will be able to answer 130 questions in 3 hours. The extra questions (a maximum of 12) would give a chance to extremely meritorious candidates to score higher. Any attempt to answer questions by pure guessing of the answers will not likely have any advantage but may reduce the total score, candidates should keep in mind that there are negative markings for inaccurate responses. 

It is very important to practice online mock test consistently as BITSAT is all about speed & accuracy. Reach out at info@masterclassspace.com today for BITSAT Test Series by Masterclass Space!
