Overview of CAT Quantitative Reasoning Section
The Quantitative Aptitude section is the most robust section in terms of something that can give you a definitive syllabus. It consists of questions based on various topics such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, number system, and modern maths – probability, permutation, and combination, set theory etc. The Quant section evaluates a candidate’s mathematical and analytical skills.
Overview of CAT Verbal Reasoning Section
In terms of CAT Syllabus across the sections, the VARC section is the simplest to describe. ​Building a habit of reading is the closest to what one might call as Syllabus. Reading Comprehension accounts for 2/3rd of this section historically with comprehensions ranging from Economics to Science to Philosophy to Sports to Abstract. The other part consists of verbal logic which includes Para jumbles, odd one out, paragraph summary and paragraph completion but you can always look out for newer patterns in this section.
Overview of CAT Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning Section
The DILR section has been elusive in terms of giving us a definitive syllabus for this section. It is by far the most dynamic section in CAT with new types of questions being introduced almost every year. The most common areas questioned include bar graphs, arrangements, data mapping, set theory , puzzles and games and tournaments .
