Books for CAT preparation

Hi ashish100,

For sentence correction, apart from arun sharma for va and the sentence correction thread in the va section of PG, I would suggest sentence correction exercises from the Official Guide to GMAT

thanx for replying HARISH!!
would u plz give me exact location of the thread as i m unable to locate it.
thanks

Hi Ashish,

There is a small problem in this.

Do have a look at this. GMAT threads in PG prohibit exchange of copyrighted material and any discussion about it may bring problems to both of us.

But our purpose is solved by having the sentence correction exercises, which is located in the thread,

hi guys i have been wondering abt any other book ok grammar that i can lay my hands on except the good old wren and martin if u have any web link please post it here or anything that u have as a file u can pm me and i will give u my id

You can try grammar books from IMS or TIME material. They focus on what is needed for CAT, hence will save you from reading unnecessary matter from the grammar books

Better to use the TIME material along with Wren and Martin....

One more good book I have found is Arun Sharma's VA.

Gives a much clear picture on how to hone our reading skills

Hey guyz i guess many people are in CAT mode now coz only 5-6 months are left ...so howz your preparation goin on??till date what are the books,material and topics all of you has covered??since i have completed TIME material :cheerio:....im working on Arun sharma's Book on DI/LR,Quant,and also VA and trust me really enjoying it .......how about you guys?

Another god book for Grammar is from Sultan Chand Publications by Prem Lata Suri... it gives the common errors which is very useful for sentence correction...:cheerio:

grammar for utterly confused and just enough english grammar are also good..........dowload these free from esnips.com

Arun Kumar's book for QA is very good but it doesnot provide with the detailed solutions to all the questions...

Please suggest a book with problems of the same level of difficulty with their detailed solutions...

Guys, I started using Puzzles to Puzzle you by Shakuntala Devi.But am having a good deal of difficulty in solving them....I mean they are pretty tough(atleast thats' what i feel!).any suggestions how to go abt it?

Hi guys,

Thank u,
Cheers!

thnx...

puys what is the name of the tata mcgrawhill book on VA.......the one similar to the book authored by arun sharma......and also who is the author??

Hi Mohan,
I would suggest R.D.Sharma or Manjeet Singh reference books for Class 10 as the best place where the geometry theorems are given in detail. It may appear naive to take such books and refer but they are the ones which give a true understanding of the concepts.

Class 10 NCERT text book should also do fine. All the best

Hi Saba,

Some suggestions about books:

Basic study material - Books from institutes like Time, IMS, CL
Books like Arun Sharma, Shakuntala Devi


Test Series - All the series are good from different aspects. Choose which suits you after referring the thread which runs exclusively for it. All the best
