CAT Preparation

Hi, To be honest, I would recommend that you try out the study material from IMS / TIME / Career Launcher as your first resource. This material is very well designed and keeps the needs of students as the first priority. The slight problem that exists with TIME material, in my opinion, is that sometimes it tends to be a little bit harder than required. You can easily skip out on that particular part of the chapter or those set of problems. However, you should have the knack of knowing what is relevant from a CAT perspective. Once you go through enough number of previous year CAT questions - you will develop that knack. In case you get a doubt regarding the same, you can obviously ask around in some forum. A basic thumb rule could be - can this question be solved from the concepts that you learn in class 10th? If yes - then it is probably relevant for CAT, otherwise it is not. If it is a Logical Reasoning or Data Interpretation question that is really hard and you look at the solution and it gives you feeling empty headed - there is a very low chance of it getting asked in CAT. Even if it gets asked in CAT, there is a very low chance of most CAT aspirants, including you, solving it during the exam pressure. It is the best to learn what to skip during your CAT preparation phase, so that you can do it in the main exam as well.
Some of the books that I think can help you with CAT Preparation are given below. Let me add, you should use these provided you cannot arrange for IMS / TIME / Career Launcher material from somewhere.
