How can I prepare for the CAT and NMAT simultaneously?

<p>The sections in CAT and NMAT exam are on similar lines. The space below mentions the similarities in the syllabus and exam sections:</p><ol><li><strong>Quantitative Aptitude in CAT and Quantitative Skills in NMAT: </strong>The Quantitative Aptitude section of the CAT and the Quantitative Skills section of the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test are both based on very similar topics. If the candidates prepare for the Quantitative Aptitude section of the Common Admission Test, which requires knowledge of higher-level topics, they can easily solve the Quantitative Skills section of the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test since the same foundation topics are covered thoroughly in the Common Admission Test preparation.</li><li><strong>DILR in CAT and logical reasoning in NMAT: </strong>The DILR section in the Common Admission Test exam is a combination of data interpretation and logical reasoning, whereas, in the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test, the section is solely logical reasoning. These two sections of the respective exams are different from the other sections. As a result, anyone hoping to pass the NMAT by GMAC should devote enough time to studying for the reasoning section of the exam, as the syllabus covered in the CAT-D section will not suffice.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>VARC in CAT and Language Skills in NMAT: </strong>The VARC section of the Common Admission Test combined verbal ability and reading comprehension. Reading comprehension in Common Admission Test usually comes with tricky passages, whereas the passages in NMAT are relatively straightforward. Vocabulary- and grammar-based questions have more weight in the Language Skills section of the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test. However, the CAT VA will include reasoning-based questions. Students who want to prepare for NMIMS Management Aptitude Test and Common Admission Test at the same time must pay close attention to the Language Skills section of the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test after the Logical Reasoning section.</li></ol>

One should prepare and focus on CAT. NMAT preparation will naturally be done. For CAT preparation minimum 6 months of regular good preparation is required. Try to study with one good book and practise mocks &amp; previous year paper.
