Hi,
I need to know from which books I shud start my CAT prepartion. Please quote books for various section QA, VA, DI and RC.


Note: Please don't post books if you are not sure and don't scarp unnecessary things. Hope that would be easier for other newbies too.

I m sorry if such thread already exist but it was quite cumbersome to search and find suitable thread containing books on various sections. If other such thread containing books exist please make it sticky.

thanks in advance.

although its quiet a bit late here it is..This is from hanoz (IIMA PGP 1) regarding what books to follow..hope it helps..




Shakuntala Devi's Puzzles to Puzzle you (also more puzzles to puzzle you if you're really interested)

Olympiad Geometric Formulae (that's not the title of a book, don't remember the title, but it's a thin red book, available in Delhi, with some cool Olympiad problems, not that you'll be getting these questions, just that there are some fundu shortcuts and concepts in it. The geometry problems are really very good.

Oswald's CAT papers (old cat papers)

Most of the Coaching classes' tests (they keep cogging most of the questions from each other, or from old CAT / other papers or from their own old papers)

That should be more than enough for quant.

For English : Dunno, just keep a habit of reading fast. I had the habit, didn't prepare anything for CAT. Also, I'd given GRE to brush up vocab. Managed to do decently well. ... though vocab not VERY helpful in CAT

For DI : Practice, practice, practice and more practice. You might want to try Bank Probationary Officers' tests' DI type questions (if you have the time and inclination)


RULE # 1 : Attempt as many as you can
RULE # 2 : Don't make mistakes[img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

i went through the book by Arun Sharma as well. However , i do get stuck a few times because the answers for the LOD1 are not provided , and the answers to the real tough questions of LOD2 are not provided either. Is there someone else in the same boat as mine? Is there a thread or can we create a thread where we can discuss only questions from this Book by Arun Sharma ? Do u think this idea is too far-fetched?
