Hello Folks,
Its being almost 1.5 months since I am studying for GMAT. I am still not able to finish my Quant and so focusing only on Quant till now. I had given one test and scored very bad. The topics where I am not feeling confident are Number Property, Geometry, PnC, Probability etc.
I started reading the concepts of these topics from Quantitative aptitude for CAT and I am finding it very helpful. However, as far as questions are concerned I would like to know that is it like if I am able to solve CAT questions then I will eventually be able to solve GMAT questions also? I would like to master each and every area of Quant before I switch to the verbal section.
Please advice how should I go about quant from here on and can I practise Quant from CAT books?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!!

Hi Laveen,
Have you been studying consistently since December or have you taken any time off?
If you haven't taken a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections) in some time, then you should plan to do so soon. We really need to get a new score and a sense of your current skills, strengths and weaknesses - especially in how they compare to your initial CAT score. Once you have that score result, you should post back here and we can talk through your study plan.
You will likely find it difficult to try to master every Quant concept before beginning your Verbal studies, so planning to 'mix' your studies (working on some Quant and some Verbal each week) would likely be helpful.

Hi Funambulist,
I am assuming that by CAT, you mean the Commom Admission Test in India.
The quants section for GMAT and the Indian CAT is quite different. The CAT offers a much more difficult array of questions that you might not encounter on the GMAT. It would be better to opt for a preparatory course that is designed for GMAT.
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the prep companies including ours offer a free trial of the course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits you.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides too and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
Since you have been studying for more than 1.5 months, you should take a mock CAT including the AWA and IR and see your current standing.
Also, make sure that you prepare for Verbal too along with Quants, else it might prove to be detrimental for your GMAT score.
I am sharing the break up and my analysis as below:
