FINALLY
Getting to the bottom of the elephant in the room: which books should one read when
preparing for the CAT.

ARUN SHARMA
Arun Sharma’s books are the ones that most people use to prepare for any section. The
passages provided in VA RC are an accurate representation of the types of passages
encountered in the real test. The passages are extremely varied. There are also questions
from previous CAT exams. All of Arun Sharma’s books (VA-RC, DI-LR, and Quants) cover
the techniques needed to answer specific question types. At the end of each chapter, there
is a question bank with questions divided by difficulty level. It ensures that the skill progresses
gradually and that the student can attempt any question that appears in the examination.

OTHER BOOKS WORTH LOOKING AT
There are two other books for Quant that an aspirant may refer to. The first is from Sarvesh Kumar, and the second is from Nishit Sinha.
