Hello,

I too was a non maths student and cleared CPT in the first attempt (and i am quite sure i scored more than 15 in QA). Since you're appearing in june 13, you have sufficient time to understand concepts and clear the exam with good marks so do not panic.

However, the following facts might help you reduce tension and start studying with a positive attitude.

If you're a commerce student, you might already have some knowledge of statistics.

CPT being an objective based paper, many questions can be solved merely by substituting values given as options.

A no of AP and GP questions can be solved using calculator tricks.

Topics like simple and compund interest are easy but important, they'll help you score.

But it's important to understand concepts and know the logic behind what you're doing.

Hope this helped..

Gud luck for your exam.

i agree with all the points but i would advise you to do simple topics first and practise them well so that at least you have that confidence that you can pull off easy questions.
