The Quant questions of JMET are of higher level than CAT.  You can expect more questions on topics like Trigonometry, Vectors, Binomial Expansion, Co-ordinate geometry, Logarithm, Calendar, Maxima & Minima Progression, Surds & Indices and Complex numbers. The difficulty level will be same as you have in the screening test of IIT engineering admission test.
