THE MAPPING

86.8% of CDS (II) 2026 maps straight to QUATRAE CDS Material.

We did not write this key and then go looking for matches. Every question was checked, one by one, against the QUATRAE CDS books. Elementary Mathematics mapped 100 out of 100 — every single question tests a concept taught in a QUATRAE Mathematics book, and the key prints the book and page number next to the solution.

English mapped 93 out of 120 — we count an antonym or synonym only when the exact tested word is in the QUATRAE word-list. General Knowledge mapped 96 out of 113: 87 to the static concept books and 9 current-affairs questions to the QUATRAE Lecturette and Group Discussion issues. Anything we could not honestly map is left uncounted.

An aspirant who has finished the QUATRAE CDS Material has already studied the teaching behind 289 of these 333 questions. That is the gap between guessing and knowing — and it is the material in the bundles below.
