How to use this sheet
CAT does not reward formula-hunting; it rewards modelling a word problem quickly and then computing without slips. Learn these relations until they are automatic, so that under time pressure your attention is free for the harder step of reading the situation correctly. Wherever a percentage appears, also know its fraction form — converting to fractions is what makes mental arithmetic fast enough for a timed section.
