How does one develop aptitude for Maths and English?
In simple terms, CAT tests managerial abilities in a candidate through Maths and English. We can therefore say that CAT tests you on: Conceptual clarity Understanding interlinkages between concepts Application ability This implies that you will be required to interlink concepts (use multiple concepts) in order to solve a particular problem. Your ability to apply concepts to practical situations is what will be tested. Therefore, the basic requirement for being able to crack the CAT is Conceptual Clarity. One must spend the maximum time getting to know the concepts in both Maths and English before going ahead with practice through section tests and comprehensive tests. Once you start taking section tests and comprehensive tests, it becomes important to Analyse each of the tests that you take. This will help identify the areas/topics that you are weak at and still need brushing up before you take the next test.
