Hello,

Quant is the scariest part for students but it has a weightage of 1/3 of whole paper so you can't skip it.

As per theCAT exam pattern, there are three sections- Quantitative Aptitude (QA), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR) and Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VRC). Each section of the test has a few important topics which a student must cover.



Mathematics, in a way, is apoetry of logical ideas; syncing perfectly with theQA section of CAT, wherein the mathematical questions are based on logics and theories. Solving QA section can be quite challenging for test takers as the difficulty level of this section, based on past years trend, has been of difficult to moderate level.



Students, especially from non-engineering backgrounds, who are not too comfortable in QA, must focus in this section to improve their sectional scores, which will impact their overall CAT percentile. Raghav Mishra, CAT Topper fromIIM Indoresupports by saying, Quant is the key area and having a good hold over this section will help the aspirants crack CAT with good percentile.



Some of the topics that the aspirants must focus under this sectionare:



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 inCATin 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
