This exam was developed by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), who utilize it to select students for their business administration programs (MBA or PGDM). Aside from the IIMs, the CAT is required for admission to a number of other prestigious management colleges in India, including XLRI \u2013 Xavier School of Management, S.P Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Symbiosis Institute of Business Management Pune, Indian School of Business, Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), and BIMTECH \u2013 Birla Institute of Management Technology and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/tests\/cat\/?ref=ContTM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Mock Test for CAT Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_The_Syllabus\"><\/span><strong>Understanding The Syllabus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CAT exam is broken into three sections: quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and data interpretation, and verbal ability, and reading comprehension. The examination sections begin with Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, then move on to Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and finally Quantitative Aptitude. Some of the key topics in each part are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Quantitative Aptitude Syllabus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Data Interpretation &amp; Logical Reasoning Syllabus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Verbal Reasoning Syllabus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>LCM and HCF<\/td><td>Venn Diagrams<\/td><td>Cloze Tests<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time, Distance and Speed<\/td><td>Seating Arrangement<\/td><td>Synonyms\/ Antonyms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Average<\/td><td>Syllogism<\/td><td>Facts-Inferences-Judgments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ratio and Proportion<\/td><td>Blood Relations<\/td><td>Fill in the Blanks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time and Work<\/td><td>Number Series<\/td><td>Sentence Correction<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Linear &amp; Quadratic Equations<\/td><td>Binary Logic<\/td><td>Analogies or Reverse Analogies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Probability<\/td><td>Cubes<\/td><td>Reading Comprehension<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decoding_RC_For_CAT\"><\/span><strong>Decoding <\/strong><strong>RC For CAT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension section are significantly vital in the exam; the number of Reading Comprehension (RC) questions could be 24 out of the total section questions; the weightage of the questions is at least 70% with respect to the entire section; so properly preparing for the same is extremely important. For <strong>CAT RC Preparation,<\/strong> candidates must read newspapers, periodicals, business magazines, and novels on a regular basis. This helps increase vocabulary while also keeping you informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Politics, sports, psychology, economics, sociology, literature, mythology, and abstract topics will mostly be covered in the Reading Comprehension section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many students experience a challenge when preparing for the Reading Comprehension (RC) component of the CAT exam: they are unable to decode the Reading Comprehension section. The trick is not to understand every single word of the comprehension. At the same time, simply understanding the overview will not help. When preparing for the <strong>RC for CAT<\/strong> exam, make it a habit to eliminate extraneous words, phrases, and sentences and concentrate solely on keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>CAT RC Preparation<\/strong>, keep the following tactics in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Look at a Glance<\/strong>: Before attempting the section, go over the questions. This will assist you in identifying and remembering crucial passage excerpts as you read the passage. This will assist you in answering the questions later on. However, don&#8217;t spend too much time at the start on the questions.<\/li><li><strong>Intelligent Reading<\/strong>: While reading the passage, avoid focusing on facts. Try to concentrate more on the thoughts delivered. This will assist in answering questions based on inference or the author&#8217;s point of view.<\/li><li><strong>Increasing Vocabulary<\/strong>: The more acquainted you are with various words, the faster you will be able to read the matter. Learning new words and reading more frequently will automatically boost your reading speed.<\/li><li><strong>Use Elimination Technique<\/strong>: A difficult question is one in which the possibilities are so close that it may be difficult to choose one and reject the other; in this case, you must show both prudence and discretion. In problems involving inferences and central ideas, try removing possibilities.<\/li><li><strong>Move on<\/strong>: Apart from the first question for each RC, no question deserves more than 2 minutes of time. Don&#8217;t get bogged down by tough terms in the passage; instead, go on to the next one. If you still have time, come back and solve it later.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite following all of the preceding guidance and information, you will only be able to confront RCs if you practice solving passages on a routine basis. Use the above-mentioned strategies and guidelines to make RCs one of your strong points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAT is one of the most difficult competitive exams held in India, with thousands of students attempting to pass the exam and begin their MBA careers at IIMs or other top b-schools. It is important to note that passing the Common Admission Test (CAT) exam takes devotion, arduous hard work, discipline, and, most importantly, a proper strategy for maximizing the time given in the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To pass the CAT exam, you must have proper guidance, strong conceptual clarity, a good knowledge of the subject, and quick problem-solving skills. With online learning becoming the most popular way to learn nowadays, numerous digital learning platforms are available to assist in this attempt, one of which is the Oliveboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oliveboard is an e-learning platform that provides students with all they need to succeed in their exams, including study materials, instruction, and sessions for removing doubts.
