4 Humanities Subjects Covered in This Quiz
This quiz focuses on the four core humanities disciplines that form the foundation of CAT VARC passages. Each subject has its own specialized vocabulary and conceptual frameworks:
Why These Four Subjects Matter: Together, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, and Literature form the conceptual core of humanities passages in CAT. They explore fundamental questions about human thought (philosophy), behavior (psychology), society (sociology), and expression (literature). Mastering terminology in these areas enables you to quickly grasp passage themes, identify author positions, and distinguish between closely related concepts.
After This Quiz: Use your subject-wise results to prioritize your study. If you scored well in Philosophy but struggled with Sociology, focus your preparation accordingly. Each subject has dedicated term pages with comprehensive definitions, examples, and practice passages.
