Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examination - Abhijit Guha Reviews

Don't Buy
Oct 17, 2020 02:58 PM

Dear all, This book is not a good option if one likes to practice questions. The reason for me to buy it was to get an adequate understanding of banking PO level concepts and later solving questions learned from the concepts but because of wrong questions that can't be calculated from one way to another and the absence of some answers this book really a waste. Concepts are ok but for speed, as required in prelims it's not.


This book is not for students preparing for CAT exams as the information so provided in this book are very basics and would not suffice the need for CAT.


I will not recommend this book strongly as the book is careless with many flaws in the writing part. many of the answers are printed the wrong which can create many confusion in the mind of the students.

READABILITY IS NOT SO GOOD
Apr 08, 2019 03:13 PM (via Android App)

I HAVE PURCHASED THIS BOOK. WHEN I READ THIS BOOK I FOUND IT IS NOT WRITTEN IN SIMPLEST LANGUAGE. THE LANGUAGE USED IN THIS BOOK IS HIGH. IT CREATES SOME COMPLEXITIES FOR THE READER . IT LENGTH IS TOO LONG THEREFORE IT WILL BECOME MORE DIFFICULTIES FOR THE GENERAL STUDENT . SO IT TOO MUCH TIME TAKE TO READ IT . IT DOES NOT INCLUDES EVERY TYPE OF QUESTIONS WHICH IS GENERALLY ASKED IN THE COMPETITION EXAM . THERE IS NO HIGH LEVEL PROBLEM GIVEN IN THIS TEXTBOOK . I FOUND THIS BOOK IS NOT USEFUL FOR WEAK STUDENT . IT COST IS ALSO HIGH . It story is also not so good. This book has no capacity to attrack weak student

Hi friends, I am sharing my experience on “Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examination” by Abhijit Guha .


This book concentrated on Aptitude but not on statistics part. In many examinations questions on Statistics are appearing in Quantitative Aptitude Section. Questions which are given this book don't match that level. This book is not useful for CAT, GMAT etc. The question s in the exam are difficult and tricky. This is a basic book. This is not the best comprehensive book for various competitive exams. Since I am a maths student, I feel its not useful. I feel Agarwals book is nice. Thanks for reading my review.

It don't match that level
Jan 28, 2017 07:24 PM

Questions which are given this book don't match that level. where actual exam questions are. I think you read this book you will see that questions are too easy and you will think that actual exam also too easy but actually actual exam questions are too difficult than they have suggested in this book. I think author had not attended this exams ever, so he is thinking that, this exams are as easy as he have given in his book refer only previous year question paper and study by your self

Very Helpful
Sep 26, 2015 02:14 AM

In most of the competitive examinations in India including Banking and SSC, one or more test is conducted on Quantitative Aptitude. Today let me tell you about a very helpful book that helped me very much in enhancing my skills in Quantitative Aptitude. It is “Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Exams” by Abhijit Guha.


It is a very comprehensive book with details about how to solve a problem in really quicker ways. I learnt many short cut methods using this book.  The teaching is very comprehensive and the author has provided examples of most types of questions asked in exams.


Along with this book, I would also recommend Aggarwal’s book on Quantitative Aptitude. If you practice from these two books and consult these regularly- then cracking any Test would be 50% easier for you.
