CAT is an aptitude test. There is no set or defined syllabus for the exam. What we can say about CAT is it is designed to assess the natural ability of a person towards their desired objective. CAT is designed to test the inclination of the applicant towards managerial tasks and roles. Mainly the questions are asked from.
Quantitative Ability (QA)
The questions are designed to stress more on reasoning skills of the candidates, rather than on their computational skills. The level of difficulty of this section is perceived to be higher because the questions are not only lengthy to read but at times require more effort in terms of understanding and solving.
Data Interpretation (DI)
This section presents data to the candidate in forms such as caselets, pie diagrams, bar graphs, etc and questions are set to evaluate the candidate’s skills at analyzing the given information. It also includes few Data Sufficiency (DS) questions. DS questions are based on basic mathematics (at times Data Sufficiency is a part of the Quantitative Ability section).
Verbal Ability (VA)
This section usually has 3-5 Reading Comprehensions (RC) passages. Passage length is usually between 550-650 words with each following with a set of 3-5 questions. Other than passages this section typically comprises questions on jumbled paragraphs, sentence correction, complete the paragraph, verbal reasoning etc.
