Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension for the CAT by Nishit K Sinha

Logical Reasoning for CAT by Arun Sharma
Quantitative Aptitude for CAT by Arun Sharma
The importance of Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC) in CAT can be understood by the fact that it constitutes 34 questions out of total 100 questions in the exam. RC in CAT comprises 24 questions while 10 questions are based on Verbal Ability.
One of the best books for CAT 2018 on VARC recommended by toppers to steer your through the Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC) section in CAT exam is the Arun Sharma Verbal Ability book which is both a text book as well as a practice book.

The right time to start preparing for CAT exam depends on each candidates skills, abilities and the amount of time he/she can devote on daily basis. So, starting CAT preparation in March is a good idea.
