i am preparing for cat 2018 and also want to take nmat , but lr section is totally different from cat . say how can i prepare for nmat lr

Logical reasoning section of NMAT includes questions on blood relations, arrangement, numeric grid, coding and series.

Series and sequence, arrangements and Blood relations is quite similar to Cat prep.

Coding decoding and numeric grids are slight different and requires alot of practice.

The main thing is Nmat is way easier to score in than Cat.

And while doing Cat just simulataneously start preparing for nmat as well. It's not hard when you start doing it. Because cat has already started enriched you with knowledge and now you only have to apply it.

Cat Lr is way tougher and theoritical but Nmat Lr is easier, application based and also has various scenarios given on which you need to react and choose what to go for.

All the best.

Hi Rittick,

Thanks for approaching us. Your question is a pertinent one indeed! Have you applied for NMAT ? Which date have you chosen? Is it close to the CAT 2018 date (November 25)? If yes, then I would suggest you to simultaneously study both keeping regular intervals. I firmly believe each preparation is allied and somehow helps other preparations as well! The syllabus might not be the same but the thought process will be somewhat similar.

To assist you further, would like to share a few links that will help you compare the LR section of both CAT and NMAT-

NMAT by GMAC Preparation Tips 2018

Best Study Material for CAT 2018

Logical reasoning section of NMAT includes questions based on family tree, arrangement, numeric grid, coding and series.

CAT Logical Reasoning section is composed of Assumptions, Blood Relations, Binary Logic, Clocks and Calendars, Constraint-based puzzles, Data Arrangement, Family Tree, Matching Puzzles, Proposition, Statements, Seating Arrangement, Sets and Syllogism, Venn Diagram, etc.

As both CAT and NMAT conducting authorities do not release the official syllabus, the above-mentioned syllabus is derived from the past years’ question papers. The LR section does not vary 100 percent. For example, Family Tree and Blood Relation are on similar lines. I would suggest you to prepare both strategically to fare well in both the exams.

Hope it helps! Best wishes.
