Hello



Quant is the scariest part for understudies yet it has a weightage of 1/3 of entire paper so you can't skip it.



According to the CAT Test design, there are three segments Quantitative Aptitude (QA), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) and Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VRC). Each area of the test has a couple of vital themes which a student must cover.



Mathematics, as it were, is a verse of consistent thoughts; matching up consummately with the QA segment of CAT, wherein the math questions depend on rationale and speculations. Understanding QA area can be very trying for test takers as the trouble dimension of this segment, in light of past years pattern, has been of hard to direct dimension.



Students, particularly from non-engineering foundations, who are not very agreeable in QA, must concentration in this area to improve their sectional scores, which will affect their general CAT percentile.



A portion of the points that the competitors must concentration under this area are:



Number System: Ensure that you are clear with the essential ideas of this point.



Arithmetic: Though Arithmetic has an immense number of sub-points, over the most recent 3 years, just several inquiries have highlighted from this theme.



Algebra: Considering this has been a standout amongst the most prevailing points in CAT in the most recent three years, it bodes well to put additional accentuation on this subject.



Geometry: Another subject which has included a considerable amount over the most recent couple of years.



Permutation and Combination/Probability: This is another theme that contributes around one to two inquiries to the test.



Incidental Topics: This incorporates Set Theory, Trigonometry, and Logarithms.Aside from previously mentioned subjects you can likewise concentrate on



Speed Distance time, Tine and work, Clocks, and so forth which are efficient inquiries and are exceptionally suggested



I hope it will help you

Good luck....

Hey !

For Quant ,under CAT exam, topics you can focus more upon are:

#Number System: Ensure that you are clear with the basic concepts of this topic.

#Arithmetic: Though Arithmetic has a vast number of sub-topics, in the last 3 years, only a couple of questions have featured from this topic.

#Algebra: Considering this has been one of the most dominant topics in CAT in the last three years, it makes a lot of sense to place extra emphasis on this topic.

#Geometry: Another topic which has featured quite a lot in the last few years.

#Permutation & Combination/Probability: This is another topic that contributes around one to two questions to the exam.

#Miscellaneous Topics: This includes Set Theory, Trigonometry, and Logarithms.

So most of the topics you have not done, take out some time to prepare for those as well because as I can see they are the important ones. If not all cover a few at least.

It is important to follow the concepts learned and practice each concept by solving simple examples first and gradually moving towards the difficult ones.

Besides learning the concepts for Quant, it is equally important that you do not leave any topic uncovered. One of the important strategies to cover each topic is to make a Day-wise preparation plan and schedule some number of days to prepare for that topic.

Good Luck!!
