Syllabus
Quantitative Ability (QA)
- The questions are designed to stress more on reasoning skills
of the candidates, rather than on their computational skills.
- The level of difficulty of this section is perceived to be
higher because the questions are not only lengthy to read
but at times require more effort in terms of understanding
and solving.
Data Interpretation (DI)
- As the name suggests, this section presents data to the candidate
in forms such as caselets, pie diagrams, bar graphs, etc and
questions are set to evaluate the candidate’s skills at
analyzing the given information.
- Data Sufficiency questions in this section are based on basic
mathematics (at times Data Sufficiency is a part of the Quantitative
Ability section).
Reading Comprehension (RC)
CAT usually has 6-8 passages in the RC section, with an overall
length of 4500-5500 words and about 50 questions to answer in a
span of about 30 minutes. However this too can vary according to
the level of difficulty of questions. For example CAT’99
had only 28questions to be answered in this section.
Verbal Ability (VA)
This section explores your understanding of the English Language
and also tests you on Reasoning Skills.
The questions in this section typically comprise sentence correction,
sentence sequencing , verbal reasoning etc.
