Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning	40 minutes	20
Quantitative Ability	40 minutes	22
Overall	120 Minutes	66

Topics from Quantitative Ability-

When it comes to quants, your primary focus should be on completing the entire Arithmetic section. By delving into the following topics, you’ll position yourself for excellence:

Speed Math’s	Ratio & Proportion
Percentages	Simple Interest & Compound Interest
Profit & Loss	Pipe Cistern
Averages	Mixtures and Allegations
Time & Work	Time, Speed & Distance

Optional –

Arithmetic Progression-Geometric Progression

These ten topics hold immense significance since CAT dedicates around 40% of its questions to Arithmetic. The beauty of Arithmetic lies in its formula-driven nature, making it accessible to candidates from various backgrounds. Whether you come from a humanities, psychology, engineering, or non-engineering background, these topics are for you! Additionally, if you can manage Functions and AP GP, they can provide an edge in the DILR section as well. Remember, mastering Arithmetic and revising the last ten years’ CAT papers will ensure you won’t encounter any surprises in the exam.

Rather than doing everything in Algebra, Geometry, Number system, etc… if you only focus on Arithmetic, and when I say focusing on arithmetic I mean doing everything from top to bottom, left to right plus the Last 10 years’ CAT papers, I guarantee, you will not get anything outside this in the CAT exam.

Topics from Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning-

Linear Arrangemnets

Games & Tournaments

Venn Diagram

Set Theory

Ensure that you dive deep into these four core topics and achieve mastery. No matter the slot you’re assigned, be it Slot 1, Slot 2, or Slot 3, you can be certain that these four topics will be present in the CAT exam. To boost your chances further, consider adding Order and Ranking or exploring the nuances of Pie Charts, Bar graphs, and tables.

Topics from Verbal Ability & RC –

Para Jumbles

Odd One Out

Para Summary

Para Completion

From these four topics alone, you can expect eight questions. In ReadingComprehension, prioritize tackling two RC passages effectively, and you’ll be on your way to success. Even if you consider yourself a vernacular student or struggle with Verbal Ability, fear not! Our expert mentor, Ketan Sir, at C2C Mentors will guide you and help you overcome any challenges you may face in this area.

Now, let’s explore how these 20 targeted topics can unlock the path to the illustrious 99 percentile.
