 PREVIOUS YEAR PAPERS

PREVIOUS YEAR PAPERS

Practising previous year papers is one of the smartest ways to

prepare for any entrance exam. These papers give us a clear
understanding of the exam pattern, question types, and difficulty
level. By solving them, we can identify the most frequently tested
topics, allowing us to focus on high-weightage areas. They also help
us develop better time management skills, as we get used to solving
questions under real exam conditions. More importantly, previous year
papers boost our confidence by giving us a realistic idea of where we
stand and what areas need improvement. Analysing past trends also
helps in predicting possible question patterns, giving us an edge in our
preparation.

Cracku provides previous year papers for CAT, XAT, CMAT, SNAP,
NMAT, SRCC GBO, and CUET PG, making it easier for aspirants to
practice with actual exam-level questions. The papers can be
attempted in sectional format for targeted practice or as full-length
mocks to simulate the real exam experience. For those who prefer
offline revision, Cracku also allows downloading these papers in PDF
format. The real exam interface ensures that we get a hands-on
experience before the actual test, helping us fine-tune our strategy
and improve our performance.
If we want to boost our preparation and maximize our scores, solving
previous year papers is a must!

 OMETS

OTHER MANAGEMENT ENTRANCE TESTS

While CAT is the most popular MBA entrance exam, OMETs (Other
Management Entrance Tests) like XAT, NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, SRCC
GBO, and MAH-CET open doors to many top B-schools across India.
These exams provide diverse opportunities, allowing us to apply to
multiple institutes and increase our chances of securing admission
into a great MBA program.
Each OMET has a unique exam pattern and requires a different
strategy. For example, XAT focuses more on decision-making and
verbal ability, NMAT tests speed and accuracy, while SNAP and CMAT
require a balanced approach across sections. By preparing for multiple
exams, we diversify our options, reduce dependency on a single test,
and enhance our adaptability to different question styles.

At Cracku, we provide full-length mocks, sectional tests, and

practice sets tailored for XAT, NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, SRCC GBO, and
MAH-CET. Our mocks are designed to closely simulate the actual
exams, helping us improve speed, accuracy, and test-taking strategy.
Sectional tests allow focused practice, ensuring we strengthen our
weak areas before the actual exam. We also provide previous year
papers for your practice.
If you aim to secure a seat in a top B-school, preparing for OMETs
along with CAT is a smart move. More opportunities mean better
chances of success!
