Hello, There are basically 4 sections in MBA entrance exam - Verbal Ability, DILR, Quants and GK. Verbal Ability: Start reading newspaper daily to increase your reading speed and grasping power. It will also help you to get in touch with basic vocab. Don't miss out the editorial page. Do a proper analysis of articles on the editorial page. Try to make a summary of articles that you read para by para. You can switch to the book called WORD POWER MADE EASY by NORMAN LEWIS. DILR The best thing to score in LR-DI is to practice more questions on a daily basis so you understand which sets you should leave and before attempting the sets what are the things you should look for. I would suggest 'Puzzles by George J Summers'. Quants This section is one of the most scoring section for student and you too should try to get maximum marks in this section. It has a proper syllabus and you need to practice each and every chapter. The major topics are- Geometry, Arithmetic, Algebra, Number System and Modern Math. It is basically the math that you have studied till the tenth standard. However, having said that, the questions are not really easy. Focus more on Arithmetic and Algebra as these two are the most important topics. GK Read newspaper daily for current affairs and go for Lucent for GK.

Hi, To begin with, attempt a couple of mocks. On a general level, understand where do you stand currently. Once you know where you are, you need to know how to proceed. You could solve chapter wise problems for quants and logic. Keep reading as much as you can. Try to interpret on your own about every sentence of what you read. You'll find lots of books on CAT course in any store. But the best help will be mock attempts. Mocks will always keep showing where you stand, what are your weakness and strengths. This will help you plan your roadmap while you attempt the main exam. Good luck.
