Why so many CAT aspirants fear Maths?
The reality is that most students avoid Mathematics after 10th or 12th and the reason can be that they do not enjoy it or feel that they are not good at it. But later, when these students face an exam like CAT where Quantitative Aptitude plays a vital role, this fear resurfaces in a big way. Unlike English and verbal section, where student still have an understanding or familiarity, mathematics often create panic due to lack of practice or conceptual clarity. This fea is more common among those who’ve had a long academic gap from maths or the non-engineers.
Here’s the silver lining—in Kamal Lohia’s words: “80% of the CAT Quant section involves maths up to 10th standard”. That means if you are familiar with topics from 6th to 10th standard like percentages, averages, ratios, profit & loss, time & work, time-speed-distance, and basic geometry, you have the foundation required to solve a majority of CAT Quant questions.
CAT Quant is not a hardcore mathematics, it primarily focuses on basic mathematical reasoning and logical applications which is also termed as Quantitative Aptitude.

Understanding and recognizing the academic gap among CAT aspirants, iQuanta launched a special Non-Engineers’ Module which is designed especially for non-engineers who haven’t studied maths post 10th or 12th, for students who fear maths, for working professionals who resumed studies after long break, and for anyone who lacks conceptual clarity in Quant section.
