Conclusion:

Arithmetic is highly important in all MBA entrance exams, often carrying the highest weightage in the Quant section. Mastering basic arithmetic concepts and improving speed & accuracy will significantly boost your score.

Algebra is an important part of MBA entrance exams but generally has less weightage than Arithmetic. However, CAT, XAT, and IIFT focus more on Algebra compared to other exams.

CAT & XAT give high weightage to Geometry and Mensuration. NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, and XGMT have lower weightage and focus on formula-based questions. Key focus areas: Triangles, Circles, Quadrilaterals, Coordinate Geometry, and Mensuration.

Modern Math holds moderate importance in most MBA entrance exams, with CAT giving it higher weightage (10-15%), while other exams like XAT, NMAT, SNAP, and XGMT include 5-10% of questions from this area. CMAT and MAT have minimal focus on Modern Math, mostly testing basic Probability and Logarithms.
