I like follow up on quantitative as I teach the subject for fun, but not been able to do since 1-2 years due to my busy schedule. But I must congratulate the creaters and moderators of this forum, fantastic work!!

In my opinion, looking at CAT paper of 2006 and the opinion of people who make the CAT paper( I have personally interacted with a gentleman who contributed to 2003 CAT), The test is of problem solving not mathematics, the two things are similar but not the same, you can learn to solve a maths problem but problem solving skills in not about memoery of formula, it is sharpness of application! I think the books suggested are not bad but may not serve well and may put lot of aspirants in a long loop. I think basics need be very clear and post that lot of applications in the right manner. but again this is my opinion!! my best of luck to XLRI/FMS aspirants.

Another request to Mahip, I dont think PMS intention was to place advertisement, I think good books and materials should be encouraged. But at the same time to keep the forum clean, control is essential. No offence meant!! you guys are doing a great job

Enjoy life

Hi San,

Thanks for such an insightful post.
To tell you the truth i was really very scared of the quant section.
But after reading your thread i realized that i was just trying to solve maths problems but i guess i should be solving the problem instead.
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful thought.
Now i feel much better and i am no more scared of quant.

Cheers!!!

You can go for Quant books like the one by Arun Sharma, or the book from Nishit K Sinha or Quantum CAT from Arihant Prakashan

My personal belief is that this is the most useful book written for CAT ever.....and eventhough its old now, but still holds the same usefullness for the exam.

I have heard about a book by P. pandey and K. kundan for quants . I looked foor it in hyderabad but it seems it is not available here. so any body knows where it can be got in hyderabad . or how to order it online

[killerkart19]

people here who are facing trouble with quants should follow a primary book only.. like arun sharma,rs agrrawal, arihant publications depending on their needs.... its more important to develop ur speed and agility while tackling problems, people can concentrate on speed dy taking CAREER LAUNCHER 15 minutes and 10 mins tests.... you do not need to take first hand course and waste money, borrow it from ppl who do not need it anymore, or buy second hand materials..

well you can go for Arun Sharma's quantitative aptitude book ... this one you can't miss......and the same author has written separate books on Verbal and DI-DS too.....all are from TMH. I can't say about the later, but you can't miss the quant book. its worth !
