CAT 2012: Each section requires different strategy

For QA, you need to brush up your basics well and focus on your calculation tricks to reduce solution time, lower the mistakes and emphasize on accuracy.

DI is all about studying and understanding the data that are in question. DI involves a lot of calculations and to get things correct in less time, learning the tricks and tips of Vedic Mathematics is the best idea.

VA is an area which CAT aspirants are worried about mostly, because several students find it difficult to have a grasp over grammatically correct English. Read newspaper's front page, editorial and business page. Develop reading habit before sleeping.

LR has neither any written syllabus nor any prescribed formula. You need to think logically in order to find out the solution of the problem stated in this section. You need to organize your thinking ability step by step in order to find out a solution.

Notwithstanding above Mock Tests will help you to set a path for achieving success at CAT 2012.
