How to Prepare for CAT 2024 VARC, DILR and QA?

Getting Ready for the Quantitative Ability

  • Aspirants for the CAT should begin with the Number System section before moving on to Algebra, Permutation and Combination, and then the remaining topics.
  • Put greater emphasis on the concepts. Because if your foundation is unclear, you cannot solve intricate challenges
  • Up to 40-cell tables, 30-cell squares, 20-cell cubes, and 25-cell fraction equivalents should be mastered. You will have more time with this.
  • Put all necessary formulas in the formula notebook and constantly examine them.
  • Try to respond to each query in less than two minutes.
  • During the exam, you will have to respond to more questions in a short amount of time. Therefore, it is better to spend time responding to three easy questions as opposed to one complex question.

Preparation for Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning

Over the past two years, the DILR has shown to be the most difficult of the three components. Since there is no set syllabus, this issue is more difficult. As a result, there is only one surefire method to succeed: practice. When preparing for the DILR, keep the following in mind:

  • Given that the syllogism is a high-scoring section, candidates should concentrate more on it. Venn diagrams can be utilized to provide crucial answers.
  • Candidates should respond to inequality-based questions. A restricted number of variable issues should be solved at first in public methods questions requiring arrangements before moving on to questions with more variables.
  • Candidates are prone to misinterpreting complex-reasoning questions. As a result, it is suggested that you read through the topics in this section again.

Preparation for Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension 

The VARC component is one that many applicants struggle with and are extremely afraid of. This section evaluates your grasp of the English language in-depth. It asks the following inquiries:

  • The questions and passages from the unseen passages section should be chosen by the candidates based on their level of familiarity. If a person typically understands fact passages, they should stay away from questions that involve critical analysis.
  • Candidates ought to take a two-step process. Reading Comprehension and the rest of the subject must be separated into separate sections for the VARC portion.
  • Don’t rely on conjecture or provide random responses to inquiries on grammar. Make sure to draw a well-informed conclusion before relying solely on inference. Move on to the next subject if the current one is too complex. Avoid wasting time on a single enquiry.
  • Candidates can move between the issues to arrive at the most accurate conclusion possible, even though deductive logic calls for reasoning and paralyzing confusion.
  • Read the questions before the passage when attempting the Reading Comprehensions section.
  • Candidates who achieve a score of 85% or higher should focus more on the vocabulary and grammar sections, as well as the deductive logic, sentence completion, critical reasoning, parajumbles, para-completion, and summary questions sections.

Preparation Tips to Complete CAT Exam 2024 Syllabus

Here are some more key CAT preparation ideas for hopefuls to consider. Some simple techniques are as follows:

One of the best ways to get ready for the CAT is to administer mock exams, which give candidates a feel for the exam environment. Time management, self-evaluation, accuracy in answering questions, and recognizing the level of tension on exam day are some advantages of the mock test.

  • Practice all you’ve learned

CAT professionals exhort applicants to follow through on their promises. Regularly applying what you already know will enable you to obtain additional information during CAT preparation. To keep each item fresh in your memory, you should occasionally study and practice it.

  • Focus on the Concepts
