In contrast, Ujala stayed calm, attempted questions based on her capability, and marked answers only when confident. Her total attempts were 41 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAT 2024 results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Amar, despite attempting more, scored 56 marks (~89 percentile).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ujala, with fewer but accurate attempts, scored 95 marks (~99 percentile).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark>Join the Largest CAT Preparation Community in India<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-747x420.jpeg 747w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-difference-between-amar-and-ujala\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_Amar_and_Ujala\"><\/span><strong>Difference between Amar and Ujala?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The key difference between Amar and Ujala was their accuracy.
