CAT 2012: Quantitative Ability (QA)

QA or Quantitative Ability is test on number system, algebra, geometry, coordinate geometry,  mensuration, set theory  on probability / permutation - combination and arithmetic questions.

QA section is tricky and lengthy too but if done with speed and accuracy, can yield good score.

You need to master short cut methods to tackle questions in QA. If selection is important then rejection of options is equally important because negative marking can be a big spoiler in QA.

Over the years QA pattern has shifted from pure calculations to logical analytical sums.

Accuracy supplemented with speed is the key area to take on QA but random guess can put you off from competition so avoid speed breakers and accelerate your chances with smartly picking up right options to be successful in Quantitative Ability section of CAT 2012.
