How to be good at quants?

Asked by Anonymous on 2026-07-22 in CAT Prep

what should i do after watching lectures? i have watched all lectures of arithmetic, algebra and geometry. then i move on to solving questions from Arun Sharma sir's book. But every exercise has a lot of questions it feels like a mountain. then i lose interest. I am not able to understand the bes way to study so that i am in touch with all topics and keep solving regularly

This is very normal. Don’t try to finish an entire Arun Sharma exercise in one sitting, that’s what makes it feel overwhelming. A better approach:

* Watch lecture

* Solve 10–15 questions

* Mark the ones you couldn’t solve

* Revisit those after 2–3 days

* Spend 20–30 min daily revising old topics

The goal is not to complete every question in the book. Even 40–50% of the questions, solved with proper understanding and revision, is enough to become strong in QA.

Consistency + revision > marathon study sessions.

Watch lecture and then try to solve 15 - 20 questions
