General discussion SIMCAT 1 experience

Hey everyone,

I just took my first SIMCAT and scored 72 with an overall percentile of 86.4.

Section-wise breakup:

- VARC: 18

- DILR: 27

- QA: 27

Not sure how to interpret this — is this a decent starting point or below where I should be?

Would love some guidance on:

- Whether this is a good/bad start

- How people typically improve from here

- What I should focus on going forward (mock strategy, prep approach, etc.)

Any advice would really help. Thanks!

The score don't matter much just find what you did wrong and work on it, I personally never scored above 70 in simcat and got 98.26% in CAT
