About CAT Quant and how to practise it
Quantitative Ability has 22 questions in 40 minutes, covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry and mensuration, number system and modern maths such as permutations and probability. Some questions are multiple choice with negative marking and some are type in the answer.
Arithmetic and number system together carry a large share of the paper, so they are the best place to build accuracy first. Learn the standard formulas and shortcuts, then practise recognising which one a question wants.
How to use these tests
- Revise one topic from the formula sheet, then solve its topic practice page before taking a timed test.
- Time yourself at about 90 seconds a question and mark questions you would skip in the exam.
- Redo wrong questions after three days without looking at the solution.
- Take a full 40 minute Quant test every week to practise question selection.
Common mistakes
- Using the new value as the base in percentage problems.
- Forgetting to check units before calculating.
- Staying too long on a question that is not yielding.
