arunrajput1007 Says
Can U suggest me gud books for quant preps .... I have already tried Arun Sharma, TIME materials bt when i luk at those ****y aimcat questns I caught in the dilemma and doubt ab8 the questns of arun sharma and basic materials of TIME were askin in the CAT or n8 ... please give me a proper guidance !!!

well
this is the most common question a AimCat test taker ask himself...
but i can assure of
"If you have learnt all those things which "Arun sharma" wants you to learn then no can stop you in CAT"

here is difference between doing question and learning from questions

Well, thanx thanx a lot Gudda1122 .... it wud be a gr8 help for me !!!
This site is amazin, i just wonder wat a gr8 help the technology provides in education nowadays...!!!
Anyway, Thanx a lot !!! Just Don' stop the music !!!

Hi Puys

I am a :. I have started Journey to CAT 2013 from today 1 Jul 2012. I have IIM (A, B, C, L) in my mind. I have been reading this thread since last 2 days and its a very good collection of feedback about some of the best books for CAT. On the basis of this thread information, I extracted some points and made following plan:
First I will finish following Books to build my basic knowledge till DEC 2012, and January 2013 onward I will go for TIMES Correspondence and MOCK CAT.

  1. QA by Arun Sharma
  2. DI by Arun Sharma
  3. LR by Arun Sharma
  4. VA & RC by Arun Sharma & Meenakshi Upadhyay
  5. PUZZLES TO PUZZLE TO YOU by Shakuntala Devi
  6. Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis
  7. 30 Days To A More Powerful Vocabulary by Wilfred Funk
  8. Wren & Martin for Grammer


All dear seniors, please guide me. Please give your feedback, as its my beginning and I want to make it perfect start for CAT 2013.

everything is fine but i will personally prefer go for sarvesh verma quatum cat for QA.. and for va&rc; by AS they dont hav solns to majority of Q's so keep that in mind..

Dear Chelseaboy

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I will definitely take a look over Quantum (S Verma). Please suggest other options (Books) for VA & RC.

does anyone by any chance have the soft copy of the speed maths exercises given by TIME? plz share..

Thanks

Start with word power and wren n martin, and try to increase ur reading domain.. this is the first basic step which u shd take, then move on to some books for va n rc

Hello all,
Does anyone by any chance have the soft copy of the speed maths exercises given by TIME? plz share
Im very weak in quant and speed is a concerning issue which im unable to resolve.

Please somebody tell me from where i can download va & RC by arun sharma. If anybody from kolkata, have it and wanted to give away. please tell me.

does any body has idea abt : The Pearson Guide To Verbal Ability And Logical Reasoning For The CAT"..should i go for it..
i hv tried arun sharma...but nt looking good..

arun sharma books on quants and english are neday better... 😃 it helped me a lot !!

i am using rs agarwal for quants...will that suffice or should i go for arun sharma..????

is "reading comprehension for the cat "-sujit kumar a good book to start with?

@shruthy12 said: i am using rs agarwal for quants...will that suffice or should i go for arun sharma..????
