• Thank you

First of all, get CAT preparation material of some good coaching institute.



For Quant, there are two good books- Arun Sharma & Sarvesh Varma. You can refer to any of these. I referred the latter one as suggested by one of my friends. However, I think the former is more popular with the students. Both the books are good. But dont buy both. No need to unnecessary collect a lot of books & material. If you have limited time, solving one book is enough. Go for the second book only when you have finished the entire syllabus.



Quantitative Aptitude:::



Most problems in CAT/GMAT are actually meant to test your ability to look at a complex scenario and find simple solutions to it. You are wannabe managers, right ? A manager is not somebody who is a mathematical genius, but somebody who is proficient at efficient utilization of resources. In most problems, a bulk of calculation can be avoided by using logical arguments. This is the best way to speed up calculations  avoid the need for calculations. Before rushing on to make a calculation  stop to see if there are logical explanations that can resolve things to a great degree ? You will be surprised, that in most cases, this actually turns out to be so. The questions for these examinations are carefully crafted not to test whether you can find a cube-root, but to find out whether you can find the inherent patterns in the problem and reveal the underlying simplicity. Refer to these books for practise-

Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning :::



Dont get overawed by the sheer size of the table in the CAT paper. They are just a tool to frighten you. Like in comprehension, read the question before scanning the data. This will help you avoid fighting with and filtering useless data. Instead of doing exact calculation try approximation, while solving this section. All your hard work during Maths preparation will help you in approximation. If you have good grasp of the concept you can develop your own short cuts and you would never need to memorise them. Try to avoid using pen and paper while solving this section. Once the examiner forces you to use pen and paper then he succeeds in trapping you in the maze of endless calculation which is known as mathematics. Consider the following books for practise -
