CMAT 2014 FEB Second day Sectional Analysis

Quant and DI
Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation section had the questions on less prominent topics. Percentage, ratios, Geometry, Algebra figured in the test.  Aspirants usually keep these sections as second tier ones and devote more of their learning and practicing on other sections. Although Quant was not tough but it became a little more time consuming for most of the aspirants. Dependence on Permutation-combination, probability, was throwing the candidates out of focus.  Candidates with core technical background and  expert in mathematics could do better while relatively the aspirants with good understanding and systematic approach to solve geometrical problems and good at algebra, not having core knowledge of more intricate mathematical concepts couldn’t score so well.

The notion has relevance to the candidates coming from commerce, arts, humanities, biological background, where the representation of female candidates is also more than the Engineering and other related technical streams.
