Hi aspirant,

Hope you are doing great.

CAT( Common Admission Test) and GMAT(Graduate Management Admission Test) are the most important management entrance tests. So, preparing for them becomes our topmost priority. There are lots of material available in the market but what you need to see in the book is whether the book contains realistic questions, have a detailed answer solution, practice set, and what should be our test-taking strategy.

So here I am recommending some of the most important books which you can use for your preparation.
