Use CAT previous-year papers, standard vocabulary books such as Word Power Made Easy, and regular reading of editorials and quality articles.

Analogies are useful for improving vocabulary and word relationships. But CAT primarily focuses on Reading Comprehension and reasoning-based Verbal Ability questions.

CAT does not have a fixed number of analogy questions. Direct questions on this topic are rarely asked.

Candidates can prepare using CAT previous-year question papers, official sample papers and vocabulary resources such as Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis.

Antonyms are useful for improving vocabulary and understanding meaning of words in context. However, CAT RC primarily tests reading comprehension, inference and critical reasoning rather than direct vocabulary knowledge.
