Module 2

Algebra

The second pillar of CAT QA (25–35%). Equations, functions, logarithms, progressions and the algebra of inequalities and modulus.

12 chapters
Module 3

Number System

The concept-heavy core of CAT (10–15%). Divisibility, factors, remainders, cyclicity and bases — where elegant logic beats brute force.

14 chapters
Module 4

Geometry

A regular 15–20% of CAT QA. Lines, triangles, circles and the coordinate plane — heavy on properties, ratios and clever constructions.

6 chapters
Module 5

Mensuration

The formula-driven scorer. 2D areas and perimeters, 3D surface areas and volumes — fast marks once the formulas are automatic.

4 chapters
Module 6

Modern Mathematics

Fewer questions, but highly scoring when clear. Counting, probability, sets, binomial theorem and logical reasoning.
