Why WAT after CAT ?

Till a year before CAT aspirants were subjected to Group discussion to understand their soft skills on communication, body language, and over all personality. But over a period of time test prep institutes have conditioned most aspirants with their training in such a way that most of aspirants look alike and it became  difficult for selection panel to judge candidates and on the other hand GD was getting subjective for judgment. 

New IIMs also thought of giving opportunity to candidates who are coming from smaller towns to excel as sometimes they may not have that confidence in speaking because of less exposure as compared to candidates hailing from metros.

From last year IIMs thought of taking only WAT to judge actual communication power. 

Those who will get shortlisted after CAT 2012 will have to go for Written Ability Test.

QA continues to be tough in CAT 2012

Most of CAT aspirants are finding QA difficult this year also which is not surprising as in yester years too QA continued to be tougher.

There is no any fix syllabus for this section but with the expert analysis of previous CAT papers, questions are based on  Number System, Algebra, Time, Speed and Distance,   Work and Time, Profit and Loss,  Installment Payment, Clock, Mensuration, Allegation and Mixture, Work, Pipes and Cisterns, Geometry, Set Theory etc.

If you are clear in the fundamentals of the above you are bound to succeed in QA section of CAT. Primarily NCERT books of 10^th Standard will clear you on the above.

But problems might accrue to those who are not clear on basics of arithmetic and even one month preparation might not be useful.
