CAT 2022 Preparation : Enhance your vocabulary

Seniors, CAT experts, mentors, and peers- everyone holds the same opinion when it comes to the significance of vocabulary enhancement for CAT preparation. But more than this reminder, the aspirants require guidance in the right direction.

However, a list of words can definitely make your journey of vocabulary enhancement a cakewalk. Now it may seem challenging to learn and add them to your vocabulary in a day in such a manner that they are retained well. But it’s also true that when challenged the right way, the human brain can work in phenomenal ways! 

We have an incomplete table awaiting you. It’s time to test your knowledge and see how far you have come in your journey.

Also, this table with blanks will serve as an effective tool to enhance your vocabulary because when you know the answers, you feel elated and motivated to march forward. And when you don’t know the right answers, you make the effort to get them right. 

So, let’s get started!
