CAT is not just about being awesome in any one of the sections(QUANTS/DATA INTERPRETATION/VERBAL/LOGICAL REASONING) but it's all about being an all-rounder . The thread aims to provide a systematic approach to CAT prep.

How are we going to achieve this:
1. Puys are requested to post questions according to the TOPICS TO BE COVERED in the week.
>>>>>Polls will be conducted based on which topics will be announced on Friday.
>>>>>Questions pertaining to those topics will start pouring in from Saturday.
>>>>>This routine will be followed for a week. Topics which require less time will be clubbed together, based on Puys opinions.
2. Puys are requested to use "#Topic " while posting questions i.e if you are posting a doubt from Time, speed and distance topic in quants it should have a #TSD.

P.S: You are requested to contribute in best way possible. If you think this thread will be just another thread(insignificant) then please do share your views. Tutorials pertaining to each chapter will be uploaded soon..
