CAT 2017 Aspirants might think (and with good reason) that vocabulary is of little use in the exam. Some might even be drawn to the idea that people who cannot piece two sentences together get scores beyond 90 percentile. Bottomline: The Verbal part has become very easy. Oh, there's news for you: change is coming. With Bank exams increasing the level of English questions, it is only a matter of time before CAT exam setters go all old school on the CAT aspirants by setting up a tough Verbal section.
To familiarize you with words and make you take the first step, here we are:
| Root | Meaning | Associated Words |
| a/n | Not/Without | abyss - without a bottom; achromatic - without color; anhydrous - without water |
| a | on | afire - on fire; ashore - on the shore; aside - on the side |
| a, ab/s | From, away, off | abduct - carry away by force; abnormal - away from normal, not normal; absent - away, not present; aversion - the act of turning away from; abbreviate: to shorten. |
| a/c/d | To, Toward, Near | accelerate - to increase the speed of; accessible - easily entered, approached, or obtained; admittance - allowing into; |
| acro | Top, Height, Tip, Beginning | acrobat - a "high walker"; acronym - a word formed from the first (capital) letters of a word; acrophobia - fear of height |
| act | Do | activity - something that a person does; react - to do something in response; interaction - communication between two or more things |
This is a start: watch this space every morning at 8:30 to learn more words.
Cheers,
