The CAT exam consists of three sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VA-RC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DI-LR), and Quantitative Ability (QA). The scores from each section are combined to calculate the total score, which usually ranges from 0 to 300. This total score reflects a candidate's overall performance in the exam.
