FMS 2009 was a lot tougher paper from last year's. Last year where the cutoff had gone to 360+ because the questions were of far easy level in every section. We also saw the %50%ile barrier in each section to keep a check in the number of questions attempted in every section. The biggest challenge this year was not only the time factor but also the dubiousness of the questions. There were questions whose answers didn't match  with that of options and that's where many coaching institutes have differences in their answer keys.
Questions like sqroot(8) + 3*sqroot(7) =? Some have given no answer while some has given the closest one(3
sqroot(2) + 3*sqroot(7) ) saying its a printing mistake. Such questions wasted a lot of time of students.While Quants was on a moderate level,Logical reasoning came tougher than expected,RC and Verbal typical FMS type.
