The Quantitative Ability (QA) section of the CAT exam is one that many test-takers have struggled with in the past; engineers and non-engineers alike. For some non-engineers this section is their Achilles's heel and can bring down their overall CAT percentile, especially when nightmares like CAT 2018 present themselves.
Given that the QA section of CAT is the only section of the exam with an unofficial yet clearly defined syllabus, as you set out to prepare and conquer this section, it would work in your favor to understand what trends have emerged in previous years' CAT papers, including the number of questions to be solved and the score required to hit that coveted 99th percentile mark, and which Quant topics need to be prioritized over others. To gain this insight, it's important to look back at what the paper-setters had under their sleeves in previous years, which is what this analysis aims to bring out.
