The Common Admission Test (CAT) is an online mode computer based test that allows aspiring students to get enrolled in the most premier management schools across the country. The exam consists of three sections, commonly known as- Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) And Quantitative Ability (QA). The time duration provided to attempt the CAT paper is 3 hours in total (one hour for each section). Being a national level entrance test and highly competitive, CAT needs an excellent preparation to ace it. Here are some CAT preparation books given below for the beginners, who are going to appear for CAT 2020 for the first time.
Students who decide or want to see themselves in an excellent B-School must start CAT preparation from the moment they decide to attempt for CAT. A consistent effort and a well planned CAT preparation is required for highly competitive exams like CAT. Especially, considering the verbal part, one can have a good command on this section when they are putting efforts consistently because such sections could not be aced even if you work really hard in the last 1 or 2 months before the exam.
