CAT

Common Admission Test (CAT) is taken up by hundreds of thousands of aspirants every year. It has become a common assumption that engineers have an advantage over non-engineers appearing for this test as they have a better understanding of mathematical concepts.
The applicants from the non-engineering backgrounds need not be discouraged. There is a way potential out of every problem. If the CAT was designed only for engineers, why would there be any test conducted for non-engineers?
Some problems faced by non-engineering students are: The common problem lies in quantitative aptitude. Engineers have an advantage in maths and this field. Non-engineering background students are not well equipped with critical thinking problems so it is a problem. Then comes, data interpretation. To crack CAT, you need to be smart, not intelligent. So, just practice and see. You will crack it.

There is nothing such thing called tougher to crack or easy to crack. This view depends upon the preparation of the exam you are giving. There are a number of exams conducted in India for the MBA type courses. Exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, MAT, IBSAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc. have some minor tweaking and variations apart from the main sections. Each of these exams has a quantitative aptitude, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and data interpretation, apart from GK or essay writing section in some of the exams. So, you have to prepare accordingly for these exams either by taking coaching classes or correspondence course or by self-preparation or by following recommended books. After you have prepared for the most difficult level questions, you may try to get some question banks for the specific exam you are targeting either offline mode I.e. books on exams or online mode i.e. free question banks websites or paid question banks for practice.
