I have a complete intention of writing CAT, I am just confused on how to start with my preparation , please provide suggestions

• NCERT books will sharpen your basics and you need strong basics for preparing for any entrance examination. Once your basics are in place, because the time period for preparation is quite less, your preparation should be extensive and thorough.

• Quantitative Aptitute covers almost 30% of the CAT question paper. QA can be categorised into Arthimetic, Algebra, Geometry and Advanced Mathematics. Practise chapter by chapter and develop mental calculations. Like practise more of basic summation, substraction, fractions and tables. Numbers, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Simple and Compound Interest, Ratio, Proportionality, Time-Distance, Time-Work, Mixtures, Averages, Partnership, Permutation and Combinations, Probability, Set Theory, Progression and Series, Line, Angles, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Polygon, Circles, Ares, Volume, Height and Distance, Co-ordinate Geometry, Basic Trigonometry are few important topics.

• In Verbal Ability session, command on your English, Grammar, Vocabulary, Understanding of the given parapgraph are of more importance. Reading English NewsPaper will also help you in your preparation.

• Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning needs to be practised as much as possible. Comparision of data, Data Analysis, taking clues, interpreting missing data, coming to conclusions and making future projections will be covered under this Category. The questions here are inter linked and so if you get one formula correct, cracking the next few questions will be easy. So its important to memorise and practise formulae. You should cover topics like Data tables, Data Charts, Bar Diagrams, Pie Charts, Graphs, Data Comparision and Analysis.

• We can recommend few books for you:
