How to use past papers for CAT
Start from weightage
The table above is the syllabus ranked by how often it is actually asked. Start at the top — that chapter is guaranteed to appear.
Drill by chapter, not by paper
Solving one full paper mixes everything. Solving one chapter across 10 years builds the pattern recognition that exams test.
Read the solution when wrong
The point of a past question is the working. Getting it wrong and reading why is the whole exercise — not just knowing the answer.
