Free CAT reading material and resources

Free CAT reading material and resources

Reading comprehension is a quarter of the CAT paper, and the only reliable fix is reading dense, unfamiliar prose every day. CATin gives you a high-quality article every day, free, along with the reference material every CAT aspirant keeps going back to.

What is free

A reading article every day. Long-form pieces written to read like CAT RC passages — economics, society, science, philosophy — each with CAT-style questions and the vocabulary worth keeping. Longer, harder reads are recommended first.
Formula sheets and reference tables. The QA formulas, squares, cubes, fractions and percentages you need at speed, printable.
Vedic maths bootcamp. A 14-day track and a 12-day advanced track for faster calculation.
Lessons by topic. Learn each QA, DILR and VARC topic before you practise it.
Official CAT papers. The last three years of official CAT papers as timed mocks, with the full post-mock analysis. Every paper since 2017 is also on the past papers pages with answers and worked solutions.

How to use reading for VARC

Read one article a day at CAT pace, then summarise it in two lines without looking back — that is the skill RC and para-summary questions test. Pro opens the whole library, so you can read as much as you want.

Start free: the last three years of official CAT papers as timed mocks with full analysis, a daily reading article, formula sheets and the Vedic maths track.
