Broadly the exam is a multiple choice test with main focus on 4 major parts, viz. Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning.

A lot of books, question banks, preparatory books, and sample question papers are available in book stores as well as the online market.

Write down your silly and common blunders in each test you take so you can avoid them in the future. There are lots of CAT coaching institutes in Chandigarh where you can enroll for the test series without attending the CAT classes there.
