What does CAT Quantitative Aptitude test, and how is it organised here?

Quantitative Aptitude is one of CAT's three sections, tested over 22 questions in roughly 40 minutes, in a mix of single-answer MCQs with negative marking and TITA questions where the answer is typed — 35% of the released Quant questions in this catalog are TITA, the highest share of the three sections. Prasnya holds 612 QA questions from its 24 released slot papers, filed under five chapters — Arithmetic (237 questions), Algebra (225), Geometry and Mensuration, Number System, and Modern Math — and then under 94 subtopics inside them, so percentages, remainders and time-speed-distance are each their own practice route rather than questions you happen to meet while working through a paper. Any of those slices can be taken as a timed mock scored under CAT's own marking scheme, and the report names the topic that lost the marks. Prasnya is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the IIMs or any examination body.

What the section tests

22 questions in about 40 minutes. Arithmetic and Algebra carry the most weight in recent papers — 237 and 225 questions respectively in the published catalog, against 89 for Geometry and 29 for Number System. Modern Math appears in smaller volume but reliably.

The questions

Questions people ask

Which Quant chapters are covered?
All five: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry & Mensuration, Number System, and Modern Math — 612 questions in total. Each breaks down further into its own topics, and every topic can be practised or taken as a timed mock on its own.
Can I practise a single Quant topic, like remainders?
Yes. Remainders sits under Number System, and it is its own route — every released-paper question on it, in one place, with the option to take just those as a timed test.
Does Quant practice include TITA questions?
Yes, and Quant is where they matter most: 35% of the released Quant questions here are TITA, where you type the answer and there is no penalty for a wrong one. The rest are MCQs scored with negative marking, and both are scored the way CAT scores them.
Is Prasnya affiliated with the IIMs?
No. Prasnya is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the IIMs or any examination body. The questions are transcribed from released CAT papers.
What does it cost?
Plans start at Rs 67/month, with Plus at Rs 129/month and Pro at Rs 149/month. Each is a one-time payment for one month — nothing auto-renews and no card is stored. New accounts get 1 day of full access first, without a card.
