Hi
Quantitaive Aptitude is divided into 5 parts:
1. Arithmetic (Includes Percentages, Simple-Compound Interest, Profit-loss discount, Ratios, proportions, mixtures allegations, time-speed-distance & time-work)
2. Algebra (Includes linear & quadratic equations, functions, logs, etc etc)
3. Geometry (Lines, angles, triangles, polygons, mensuration, 3-D geo etc etc)
4. Number System (includes classifications, surds, simplifications, remainders, cyclicity)
5. Modern Maths (Permutations, Combinations & Probability)
Now, depending upon your exam, few or all of the above-mentioned topics would be asked. If you analyse carefully, most of the

Now, depending upon your exam, few or all of the above-mentioned topics would be asked. If you analyse carefully, most of the topics are usually covered in school classes from 6th to 10th standard. So if you have a good amount of time, start with NCERTs and do all the solved and unsolved questions in it. Time is not a factor over here. This is to understand all the concepts thoroughly.
Then move on to other books (maybe Quantitative Aptitude by RS Aggarwal). DO the questions of this book by clicking yourself. A good speed would be 1 question per minute. This will really help you to recall all the formulas and their applications. To achieve the above-mentioned speed, you really would be required to focus a lot.
You can do the above-mentioned steps as the foundation.
Finally, pick up a relevant book to your exam like Arun Sharma/ Nishith Sinha for CAT. In this slowly move up the difficulty level. From solved questions to Level-1 difficult to more difficult ones. Also, start doing previous year's questions papers especially the Quant section within the time limits.
Remember you CANNOT cram the questions. Make sure you do each question by hand and put more time on questions that you were not able to solve. Spend less time on questions/ topics that are your favourite. Move outside of your comfort zone.
Happy Preparation!!!
