◆ The Sections

Quant, flawless arithmetic, depth by strength

Arithmetic is the foundation everyone needs. How far you push beyond it, just the standard methods or deep into the hard tier, depends on whether QA is one of your strongest sections.

The plan, in order

1Arithmetic first, to mastery. ~40-50% of QA and the most learnable. Work the kits one at a time: Percentages → Profit&Loss → Ratio → Averages/Mixtures → SI/CI → Time-Speed-Distance → Time&Work.

2Algebra next (easy-moderate). Equations, inequalities, functions, logs. High frequency, very learnable.

3Numbers, Geometry, Modern Math. Learn the standard methods + easy/moderate first. If QA is a strength you're taking to 95-99, go on into the hard tier here; if it's your floor section, the standard methods are enough.

Your kit workflow

Each arithmetic topic comes as a complete kit: an A-to-Z formula sheet, a basics drill, and every real CAT PYQ (easy-first, answers code-verified), as HTML + PDF.

Done: Percentages · Profit & Loss · Averages · Ratio & Proportion. Next: SI/CI, Mixtures, Time-Speed-Distance, Time & Work, then algebra essentials.

Rule: master one kit fully, formula sheet memorised, all PYQs solved, before moving to the next.

In-exam QA discipline

Two scans

Scan 1: solve all the easy/quick ones (arithmetic + easy algebra), bank the certain marks. Scan 2: pick the winnable mediums.

Use TITA freely

No negative on TITA. If you've computed an answer, always enter it, even when unsure.

Skip the time-traps

Every paper has 1-2 questions engineered to burn time, skip those regardless of skill. Just don't confuse a hard question you can solve with a trap.

Accuracy over attempts Because MCQs carry −1, a reckless attempt is worse than a skip. If QA is your floor section, ~11-13 correct (≈ 88-92%ile) is plenty; if it's a strength, push to ~16-18+ (≈ 95-99%ile). Set your own QA target in the planner.

The QA mantra "Own arithmetic cold. Bank every question you can solve cleanly, skip the 1-2 engineered time-traps whatever your level, and let your QA target, not fear of the topic, decide how deep into the hard tier you go." Drill the discipline in every mock until it's instinct.
