CAT How to Prepare For Verbal

I want to prepare of CAT Verbal exam so kindly provide me its Verbal section syllabus?

You want CAT Verbal exam syllabus so I have it and I am sharing it with you:

A typical 30 marks section of verbal comprises
Reading Comprehension: 10-11 questions
Logical Reasoning: 9-10 questions
Other Verbal questions: 10-11 questions : This section includes components such as sentence Rearrangement, Sentence Correction, Paragraph Completion, Verbal-based reasoning and Critical Reasoning.
The questions that typically appear in the verbal section can be classified in one of the following types

Vocabulary Based
Questions based on testing one's vocabulary - the plain vanilla "synonym - antonym" questions used to appear in CAT in the early 2000's; these have become very rare over the past 10 years. Although a good vocabulary definitely helps in handling CAT, purely vocab-based questions are almost non-existent these days.

The question types one is likely to see are
A question where a simple word is provided with four alternate usages in 4 different sentences. One of the sentences is incorrect. A student has to identify this.

Classic fill-the-blanks questions: A sentence is provided with one/two blanks and the student has to find the most appropriate word from the choices

However, please note that the emphasis on vocabulary has been on the decline and the need to memorize meanings of words such as "pleonasm" or "pterodactyl" is not essential to crack such questions in CAT. Even questions of the two types mentioned above focus more on context and application rather than vocabulary.

Rest of syllabus is given in attached WORD file. You are free to download it.
