I hate maths... Really!!

Quant is the most dangerous topic for cat.. It can make or break careers... And I hear this quite often
from students around me.. Especially non engineers.. But engineers are weak in maths but most of
the time we don't admit or have false aura around us..
So first of all there is no subject which is your strong or weak.. You will have pockets of strengths and
weaknesses in every subject.. Let's take on maths here..
How many of you are good in logarithms... Most of you will say yes... But when I ask hav you tried it?
.. Ans is no.. So how can you claim that one topic is ur weak area unless you hav tried it...!!
Can you run for 20 km non stop ?? No... Why cuz we hav not practiced... Same goes with maths and
verbal.. You hav to practice..
So first thing lets do.. Look at all topics and see what I know and what I don't know... These are all
chapters of CAT.. Look at the list and identify the topics you know with a tick and don't know with a
cross..
Chapter 1 Number system
Chapter 2 LCM & HCF
Chapter 3 Simplification, Indices & Surds
Chapter 4 Averages
Chapter 5 Equations & Inequalities
Chapter 6 Percentages
Chapter 7 Profit & Loss
Chapter 8 Ratios Proportions
Chapter 9 Partnership
Chapter 10 Mixtures
Chapter 11 Interest
Chapter 12 True & Bankers discount
Chapter 13 Stocks & Shares
Chapter 14 Time & Work
Chapter 15 Pipe Cistern
Chapter 16 Distance, Speed & Time
Chapter 17 Boats and Streams
Chapter 18 Geometry
Chapter 19 Mensuration
Chapter 20 Height and Distance
Chapter 21 Clock and Calendar
Chapter 22 Set theory
Chapter 23 Sequence, series & Logarithm

Chapter 24 Permutation & Combination

Chapter 25 Probability
Now you will not everything is a cross in your sheet.. There are some easy topics which you can
manage by studying once like lcm hcf, percentages, ratios, etc etc.. While some other topics need
serious time to be invested like geometry PnC...
Pareto principle works perfect on CAT quant section.
Cat quant section is easy to crack.. Like graduation exams cat is focused on some important topics..
If you hav less time left to prepare or consider urself weak in quant; rather than leaving quant section
at all you should focus on these few topics..12
- Geometry Mensuration
- Inequalities functions n polynomials
- PnC probability
- number systems
These 4 topics combined will be almost 60% of your quant sections
two topics combined are more than 33%of the quant exam.
- Geometry n Mensuration
- Inequalities functions n polynomials
So if you are weak in maths.. It will make sense to at least make few topic stronger rather than
focusing on everything...
