Another candidate, Raiza said, “That the overall difficulty level of CMAT 2021 was easy to moderate. GK wasn't around recently. In the language comprehension section, most questions are asked about synonyms and antonyms, and English grammar. So, LR was the easiest section, and faced one wrong question in LR. In the QA, the weightage of probability was higher compared to last year’s CMAT.
