CAT 2015 Quantitative Aptitude Preparation Tips

Quantitative Aptitude questions are based on mathematical questions that are on logistics and theories.  To solve these questions , the students gets a 60 minutes time limit and this year it would only be a QA section and not Data Interpretation. Kindly find below the top 20 CAT Quantitative Aptitude questions that would test your skill.

Solving QA section can be quite challenging for test takers as the difficulty level of this section, based on past years trend has been of difficult to moderate level. This section also would be the first section in this paper.

 

The New Exam Pattern For CAT will cover following three sections:-

Section	Number of Questions	Duration
Quantitative Ability	34	60
Data interpretation and logical reasoning	32	60
Verbal  and Reading  comprehension	34	60
Total duration		180 minutes

This has led to decrease in the weightage of Quantitative ability section from 50 to 34 although all the questions will carry equal marks whether it is an objective type or descriptive one. So, the quant section will have following pattern

Name of the Section	Number of Questions Asked	Type of Questions	Time allotted for this section
Quantitative Ability (QA)	34	MCQs and Descriptive	60
