Learnist_IIMCATThe Common Admission Test (CAT) is required for business administration candidates in India. While a completely separate test from the GMAT, it does feature many of the same question steps, and many Indian students study for both exams.

The Verbal section includes Reading, Logic, and Grammar questions. This Learnboard covers the best Verbal strategies to help you conquer the IIM-CAT Verbal  section (and can apply to some of the common GMAT Verbal questions as well!).

  • 9-10 questions as reading comprehension
  • 3 “Para-jumbles”
  • 3 logical continuation
  • 5-6 questions a mixture of grammar, analogies and word usage
