Why You Need To Forget About Your Percentile In CAT

Now comes the staple of every engineer that walks the earth - Quantitative Ability. Practice, Practice and practice -it doesn' matter if you are an engineer or not, it is one section that has been diluted in recent past and you just need to practice as much as possible to get better. Formulas area bae and the best way to crack most of the questions in this section. Engineers might take this section for granted but if you can boil every question to a formula there is nothing wrong with it, this is not JEE exam, all you need is working knowledge of the most basic concept and a crazy amount of practice to get through this section no matter what you're background, forget if you are good or bad at mathematics, you can beat the best of mathematicians if you come prepared to the arena. Any book from your typical collection - Arun Sharma, Aggarwal would suffice. Here sheer hard work will take you farther than anything else. I have seen the smartest people fail miserably because they did not practice. Do not take this section as a given if you think you are good with numbers because you can't beat the hard work of another person with your skills any day of the week.

If you have made it this far then you have read through some generally accepted and vague remarks but trust me if you try to imbibe these simple ideas then you would have done something most people cannot do because most people value complex ideas rather than simple ones. But the trick is not in planning complex ideas but rather in executing simple solutions.
