Quantitative Aptitude for CAT from Pearson by Nishit Sinha
HI, Plz let me know about this book if anybody has gone thru. one of my seniors suggested me for this book.
Yes the book is a nice one
Yes the book is a nice one though I feel Arun Sharma is a better option. (both cost Rs.325). Hey if u wants to seriously develop your mathematics skills then go through all the mathematics resources available to you. Don't think just by going though a single book will be making you competent enough to clear the CAT.
To begin I will suggest, take any of the book or the full quants materials of any of the coaching center(CF,TIME or IMS). Read all the chapters carefully and solve the simple questions given after each chapter. Check out all the mathematics notes in this site cat4mba. For next 4-6 months read as much as possible with out worrying anything. Be it Nishit or Arun. Solve as many questions as possible. Once confident you can try the FLTs given on maths on this site to test your improvement.
Both tha books mentioned above are worth to read esp. if you are just beginning your preparation.
For beginners , building concept should be the main priority and both these books are quite good in that. Take any of the book read it carefully (ofcourse you should go through the notes in this site – best bet is the geometry section), try to understand the concept (make your own notes, if that’s how u completed your school and college). Once done you can refer to the other book and study materials of any coaching center.
I have earlier gone thru
I have earlier gone thru Arun Sharma and my faculty suggested Nishit Sinha book. And i am finding this better than Arun Sharma in terms of content and structure of the book. Questions are also of good quality and it seems book caters to CAT 06-07 type more than Arun Sharma book.
i have gone thru no. system
i have gone thru no. system and arithmetic of this book. book is haivng good concepts and questions.
Quantum CAT from Arihant publication by Sarvesh Kumar Verma
Hi folks if u feel that u need to improve ur score in CAT thru quants u need to clear the concepts n do the practice. I think I have not been the only CAT taker who was disappointed n panicked over her score. The problems i have faced were common to most of the aspirants--stagnant score in quants after 2-3 mock CATs,even being enrolled in a premier coaching institute n having abundant study material.
During my preparation as every student hanker for the best score ,the best coaching n the best study material, I have also gone thru several much touted books on quants eg.,Arun Sharma, Nishit Sinha n Dinesh khattar's etc but nothing was as effective as QUANTUM CAT from Arihant publication, which I obtained from my senior who is now in MDI-Gurgaon.
It was a terrible blunder that I have left maths just after my 10th std. and pursued my BA (honors) due to indifference even difficulty in maths . So I strongly recommend to anyone who is poor in Quants, especially to girls like me, to read just Quantum CAT bcoz the way in which the whole book has been explained is really very lucid n innovative.
I think if u read quantum CAT then u need not any other book since it is complete in itself having nearly 5,000 problems including previous years CAT papers & if u like to solve challenging problems then it is the only book which i have seen ever during my preparation. I sincerely suggest u that whether ur faculty recommend it or not but u will really get what u expect -best in u thru this book.

Hey Tapsi
Hey Tapsi
Thanks for your valuable comments
Today I will go and purchase that book
Which institute are you right now.
We would love to read more the way u cracked that CAT and the experience after wards.
Thanks and Good luck
Right now I am in a
Right now I am in a situation which you were few months back.
I am not in touch with mathematics after class 10th and now after attending 2 math classes in TIME I realized what a blunder I had done.
Any how I am not going to give it up, let us see how thinks move.
Nishit Sinha
Hi, I have been using this website for my prep for quite a long time. And after getting selected and joining IIM L (2007-2009) batch, i feel that i would not be interacting in the same capacity with this website.
In my exp., Nishit sir's book is the best book. Questions are good and relevant and challenging(the most important aspect).
Let us see books one by one:
1. Arun Sharma - This book is quite old now(some 5-6 years back) and not so CAT relevant now.
2. Dinesh Khattar - Not a CAT level book. HOwver junta who dont have a fomral background in QA can go thru this book insted of NCERT books to have a hands on exp of basics in QA.
3. Sarvesh Kumar Verma - This book is also more or less same as Dinesh Khattar book. Gives you many a times false sense of achievement that one can solve hte questions coming in CAT and other B school exams. BUt mind you, the level of the questions is not-as-much-as- CAT.
4. Trishna- I have not gone thru back to back. But i have that TIME material and this book coming from the same house, repitiions are many. Still good number of basic quesitons.
5. Nishit Sinha - I have been taught by him in Delhi CL. And similar to his personality and aura, the book is also excellent. Structure and content is supersb besides haveing hte last 7 years CAT questions.
I will endorse this book.

help regarding the solution book of nishit sinha
hiii.....i m prep. my quant section frm this awesome book......but the level in this book make me stuck always in the middle....so it would b benefical if i can hv the solution of the problems.........plzzzzzzz....suggest how to get it.....is it availaible in the market.....or....what else.....
not up to the mark
Hi all,
As per you suggestion I had brought Nishith K.Sinha book but this book is not up to the mark as per current CAT standard. This book is better than Arun sharma book(falsely much hyped ,mere collection of problems ).There are two new books in the market which are really better than this book
(1)Quantitative aptitude for CAT by K.Kundan & P.pandey, Catseye publication(a unit of BSC)
(2) Quantum CAT , Arihant publication.
In our group two of my friends have above two books. First one is really the best book available inthe market. Allof you are requested to keep me updated regarding any book having good word list.
Thanks.
Vinay
perception
hi vinay,
its just another peception (like mine).
i followed Nishit Sinha books (both QA and LR DI), and today i can vouch that if i hv got 99+percentile in CAT 07( results came out today only), it is only becoz of Nishit Sinha books. its qustions are quite new in approach and forces you to think beyond the established.
Well, again its my perception.
TO 99+percentile in CAT 07
Dude, congrats for clearing CAT07. dude i have a query, did u prerpare only from those books or did u attend coaching classes.
I want to clear CAT08 please let me know if there is any other things that needs to be cared other then the obvious attending the MOCKs.
Thanks.

arun sharma for cat
i guess the new revised edition of QA for CAT by arun sharma is the best one for CAT.
for uur information both Nishit sinha and Sarvesh Verma were students of Arun Sharma himself...so i guess its better to learn frm the original teachers book ie Arun sharma.

hi, i Dont think that u need any extra book to get the solution of Nishit Sinha book. i am having 2nd edition of Nishit Sinha book, and it contains solutions too (which was probably not there in 1st edition).
Arun $harma is the best for IIM prep
Acc to my and my fellow classmates who qualified for cat 08......Arun Sharmas all three books are d most useful and best for preparation.
I qualified for iim a and my friend for iim c
all the best to all of u.
Which quant book is better
Guys which quant book is better among Arihant publication and Arun Shrama
Thanks in advance
arun sharma is undoubtedly
arun sharma is undoubtedly good...dunno abt arihant
hi, I would like to answer
hi, I would like to answer this question in a bit diferent manner:
1. If you have the fundamentals, then Nishit Sinha is the best book. It has diffrerent types of questions at all the difficulty levels. Good thing is - You wont get repititive questions. Almost every new question brings new idea.
2. if you dont have the fundamentals, you can go trough arihant book or ncert books. but be selective, bcoz CAT is only 4 months away.

S K VERMA QUANT BOOK
I agree with Tapsi....
Friends I have read this book. This one is really good. If you r starting your preparation, it is the best book. If ur maths basics are not up to expected level then go thrrough this book. This is like basic raw material for quants.
Another book which is equally good is Quant by Sharma. Which u can go through after finishing this book. This will give u broaden ur knowledge of some of the key concepts.

missing pages in nishit sinha's qa book
Hi,
I have bought a book "The Pearson Guide to Quantitative Aptitude for the CAT" by Nishit K. Sinha. But the pages 241-248 and 265-272 are missing in the book. I have already started using the book. Also, I do not have anybody who has bought the same book. So, is it possible to send the xerox copies of the same pages to me? The numbers under barcode-9788131734469(ISBN- 978-81-317-3446-9).
