Hello arun,
CMAT Preparation Strategy

The paper can be split into three parts: concept driven, practice intensive and environment sensitive. Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation and select areas of Language Comprehension are concept driven. Questions on these areas are difficult to attempt without concept clarity and hence it is advised to brush up the key fundamentals in these areas. Logical Reasoning is a purely practice intensive section and the comfort level here is directly proportional to practicing across similar questions. General Awareness is environment sensitive and can be best prepared by a dichotomous approach, viewing the section as a make up of current and static awareness.

GK


For the upcoming CMAT Exam you can refer to General Awareness for free sample mock papers. The General awareness section will consist of questions on Current Affairs  National & International, History  India & World, Indian Economy, Indian Geography, Indian Constitution, Indian Culture & Heritage, Indian Polity.

Cheers !!
