QA is the most popular section of CAT. You either love this section or hate it. There’s no third way. Engineers usually find this section much easier than other the other two. One thing that the non-engineers or anyone who gets intimidated by this section is that this is the easiest section to improve upon. There’s a well-defined syllabus which covers a lot of topics which all of us have studied in Class 9th and 10th. Concept used is same just the application might differ some topics like Numbers, PNC & Algebra. Quant is also the highest scoring section of CAT with multiple iQuanta students even scoring Full Marks.
CAT Quants Syllabus Dilemma
The most important topics (in terms of weightage):
- Arithmetic( 8-9 Questions)
- Algebra : ( 6-7 Questions)
- Geometry & Mensuration : (4-5 Questions)
- Modern Maths (PNC etc) : (1-3)
- Numbers : ( 1-3 question, but this topic is going to be your base for all other topics, some concept that you’ll learn in this topic will help you not only in Quant but some DI sets as well)
- Series, logs (2-3) Question)
- Miscellaneous (1-2 Questions)
Several chapters are quite simple and need just a little brush-up. A chapter like Logarithm and Series is considered to be pretty simple and you can expect 1-2 questions each from there. So, the job at hand is to realise the importance of each topics. We, at iQuanta have a pretty solid curriculum. Students have often called and said that there were exact questions that came from what we taught.

Flow of CAT Quant Classes at iQuanta:
▶️This is why iQuanta classes are designed in such a way.
We start with Numbers because it is the base for the quants topic even though the number of questions coming directly from this topic is not much.
▶️We then focus on Arithmetic which has the highest weightage. Permutation & Combination comes next as it is a very logical topic and you are ready to get it done now.
▶️Algebra is the next topic and by this time – we are done with 80 percent of our syllabus and you are ready to rock mocks.
▶️Geometry comes at the end because this is something that we will be revising for a long time because of the number of theorems that we have.
How to Prepare for Your Weaker Topics
Quant is covered quite extensively in the iQuanta classes. But if you want to work on it on your own, the best way is to do one topic at a time. After a topic is done take assignments to understand the level of competency. Apart from that you can visit https://www.iQuanta.in/test/cat-previous-papers for this purpose which provides topic-wise free quants content. They do come in handy during preparation. It will help you understand if you are being able to apply the concepts or not.
