Hello,
These are some of the tricks or way to crack your CAT examination:
*Vocabulary: Many questions on VA will use words that you do not typically see in normal conversation. If you know the meanings, it will be much easier to score.-Learn 20 words in the morning on weekdays (Monday to Friday)
- Revise these words once or twice through the day.
- On weekends, revise the words learnt over the week.
*Reading skills: The more you read, the better you'll get at comprehensions and other questions on VA. Practice comprehensions from sample papers, previous year papers, study material from coaching classes, etc.
*Logical reasoning: This section is actually fairly intuitive, but comes with a little bit of practice. The type of questions that are asked is limited. So with practice, you get to know the techniques required to solve different kinds of questions.
* Data interpretation: This is almost similar to LR in terms of how to master this section. One very important point for the exam is that you'll find 2 kinds of questions - (1) those that require some calculation, and (2) those that require a lot of calculation.
* Quantitative ability: Practice the important topics well, and you should be good to go. This will also require some judgement: several questions in my paper were fairly non-trivial. You need to be able to identify them quickly.
