Apart from this, the synonyms and antonyms are regularly asked in other MBA Entrances Exams due to which they have to be prepared for as well.
Fill in the Blanks, Grammar Usage, Facts, Inferences and Judgments and Correction in Sentence are loosely part of the CAT  Exam syllabus as they have been asked in the past but are no longer tested although they do play a significant role in other MBA entrance Exams.

CAT Exam Syllabus Verbal Ability

The Verbal Ability section over the past 3-4 years has focused majorly on 3 types of questions:
  • Summary Questions
  • Jumbled Paragraphs
  • Odd sentences in Paragraph Jumbles.
The Summary questions usually consist of:
  • Small passage (80-100 words) with 4 options
  • Objective is to find the best summary for the passage
  • In these types of questions usually, the key is to find the options which does not contradict the passage in any manner
  • Once you are able to eliminate the other options, the right answer would emerge.
The Jumbled Paragraph questions are usually TITA which means that there is no margin for error.
  • In these type of questions, there are 4-5 sentences given out of order
  • Together they form a paragraph and the aspirant has to find the order which best suits the group of sentences. In order to solve these types of questions
    • The first thing that each aspirant needs to do is identify the first and last sentence of the paragraph.
    • This is usually quite easy since the first sentence introduces a topic while the last sentence makes some kind of a judgment or conclusion.
    • Following this, the first sentence should lead to the second sentence and so and so forth.
The Odd Sentence in Paragraph Jumbles is also a TITA questions for the past 3-4 years:
  • The objective for this type of question is to identify the sentence which does not match with the theme established in the rest of the paragraph.
  • These questions may be easy or difficult depending on how it is presented.
  • For easy questions, the sentence will talk about something completely different from the theme of the rest of the passage.
  • On the other hand, in difficult questions, the sentence will be on the same topic as the rest of the passage but will differ slightly in terms of the opinion being offered or the theme being set.
  • It is also possible for the sentence to introduce a topic within the theme which is not pursued further.
Overall they can be quite tricky to deal with.

 CAT Exam Syllabus Reading Comprehension

The Reading Comprehension consists of questions based on passages in the exam. The questions are generally of three types: Fact-based, Inference-based and Vocabulary-based. The Vocabulary based questions have already been discussed above.
The fact based questions, as the name suggests, demand answers on the basis of facts mentioned in the passage. They are usually the easiest questions in the section.
The Inference-based questions are slightly trickier since the aspirant has to deduce the tone and theme of the author before answering these questions.

CAT Exam Syllabus Data Interpretation

From the above syllabus mentioned, the DI CAT Syllabus consists of caselets and tables. These caselets have data in the form of bar graphs, column graphs, venn diagrams, lines and pie charts.
This data has to be interpreted in order to solve the questions in the CAT exam. In order to solve these questions, the data has to be structured in the most intuitive manner so that the questions can be solved. In certain questions, there will be variables that have to be left untouched since they may be provided in the questions. The only way to prepare for this section in the CAT exam is to solve as many problems as possible.

CAT Exam Logical Reasoning

The topics for Logical Reasoning in the CAT syllabus across the years consists of numbers and sequences, arrangements, syllogisms, logical sequences, blood relations, calendars, cubes and clocks. The questions are usually arrangements with a combination of the other topics. As can be seen, the number of topics for reasoning is quite numerous and the combination can lead to very tricky sets. This can one of the reasons that CAT 2015 and CAT 2016 were considered to have difficult DILR sections. The reasoning topics can lead to very complicated sets when combined with each other.
The major concern with solving LR questions is not to solving them but solving them as expeditiously as possible.
