Guidelines
Broad syllabus more so than CAT Paper 5 or
Paper 1.3 Official textbooks are adequate for
the average candidate This is a gateway paper
and so a broad but relatively superficial
approach is appropriate Well prepared candidates
will know something about all areas, but should
not pursue individual areas in great depth
