Verbal Section of CAT 2019 question paper
The overall difficulty level of VA RC Section of CAT 2019 is expected to be Easy to medium. Ck students must take Mock CAT, 1, 2, 4, 15, 16, 17 and 20, which are made very similar with the actual expected CAT 2019 paper. There are no questions on Grammar and Vocabulary expected in the paper.
RC is expected to be medium sized with 4 passages with 6 questions each, making up the 24 questions. A few questions were direct and very easy – about 6 questions. Inferential questions were first step inferences and were easy to medium.
The passages expected are also not very long. The length of the passages varied from 350 words to 500 words.
Non RC questions are expected to be easy except ParaJumbles. Please note: this paper just a sample paper based on CAT paper. Any resemblance to the real paper is mere coincidence. To avoid the confusion about similarity with real paper we have picked up questions from actual previous years cat papers keeping the level of difficulty similar to the real paper.
| Area | Questions |
| RC Science | 6 |
| RC History | 6 |
| RC Psychological | 6 |
| RC Business Policy | 6 |
| Para Jumbles | 4 |
| Paragraph Summary | 3 |
| Coherrent passage | 3 |
Quant Section of CAT 2019 question paper
The QA section we are expecting is more easy as it was in CAT 2018, 2017 and 2016. Earlier CAT used to be known for its tough Quant Section, but looking at last five CAT Papers (except 2018) we can safely assume that CAT is trying to balance out in favour of Non-Engineers, which is a good sign. The Quant section have 8 subjective questions. Interestingly, most subjective questions were those, which would have been very easy even with options.
Overall, in the Quant Section there was a representation of almost all the areas. Commercial Math (Percentage, Profit & Loss & Ratio) had good number of questions. Surprisingly, there was not a single question on probability. However, there was a one question on Permutation and Combination. Time and Distance also had very few questions but otherwise traditional areas like Number System, Algebra & Geometry were present in a good number.
Students who were amongst the toppers of our Test Series reported attempt of 29 to 34 in this Section. However, the students who did not attempt subjective questions with guess work, for them attempt of 26+ should be considered good in this section.
| Topic | Number of questions |
| Arithmetic | 10 |
| Geometry | 7 |
| Modern Mathematics | 9 |
| Algebra | 4 |
| Numbers | 4 |
Out of 34 questions in the section, 8 are expected to be TITA questions and the remaining were MCQ questions. This section was marked by easy to medium level of difficulty question. In general, the level of difficulty of this section was slightly higher than the level of difficulty of CAT-2014 QA section. This section was dominated by questions on Arithmetic and Geometry. Questions from all the different topics in Arithmetic were tested.
A number of questions combined concepts across areas (such as Geometry and Progressions). We have classified these questions based on the topic of more important concept required to solve the question.
DILR in CAT 2019 question paper
DI LR section consisted of 8 sets on DI and LR each set had 4 questions. Most of the sets were time consuming and challenging. A few DI sets had logical angle to them. In general, all the sets were data intensive with several conditions. In general, DI-LR section was at similar level of difficulty as DI-LR section of previous years CAT papers. Attempting CAT 2004 to 2008 papers LR DI Section could be best way to prepare and know the level of difficulty.
Calculator was useful for solving only a few questions in the set. There were 8 TITA questions in all in this section. One DI as well as one LR section consisted of all TITA questions. Following is the rough break-up of the DI-LR sets:
| Area | Set Description | No of Ques | Difficulty |
| DILR | Games | 4 | Difficult |
| DILR | Investment | 4 | Medium |
| DILR | Arrangement | 4 | Easy |
| DILR | Betting | 4 | Medium |
| DILR | Logic based DI (TITA) | 4 | Difficult |
| DILR | Logic based DI | 4 | Easy |
| DILR | Caselet | 4 | Difficult |
| DILR | Logic based DI | 4 | Easy Med |
Overall DI/LR Section of CAT 2019 paper
A good student would have been able to attempt 20 questions overall to get 99%ile plus
