CAT 2012 aspirants must note that 15-20% of questions in
any CAT paper comprise of Arithmetic in QA.
Major topics that you need to cover are Set Theory (especially
Venn diagrams) and problems on Time, Speed and Distance, both of which are
always asked. Both of these topics are covered as part of the school syllabus,
but may need some brushing up on. Sometimes, questions on topics such as Linear
Programming are also asked.
Miscellaneous problems are rarely asked, and even when they do
appear in a CAT paper they do not number more than one or two. They are purely
tests of mathematical aptitude, and you cannot learn how to solve them. The
advice, for dealing with these problems, is to try back-substitution of answer
choices, or to avoid these problems altogether.
Some Useful tips for Quant
Preparation can be:
- Practice the new online format adequately
- Identify sitters in the exam first
- Avoid making random guesses
- Put maximum emphasis on accuracy
The age-old saying ‘Practice makes a man perfect’ is still
applicable here. Working hard on one’s fundamentals and focusing on one’s
accuracy will only go to increase your chances of belling the revamped CAT 2012. Good luck!
