Tips for DI



This time, just like last year, Quant and DI will be compounded together with a time limit of about 70 minutes so make sure you take mock CATs setting a time limit of 70 minutes. Consistently, a DI set may have two- three questions per set, but it is possible to have sets with just one question.

Here are some skillful and adaptable tips to crack the CAT DATA INTERPRETATION:

  • Working at developing the ability to understand voluminous data.
  •  Familiarizing with different kinds of charts.
  • Enhancing the mental math skills.
  • Bucking up with the speed would thus help in saving time.
  • Calculating the increase or decrease of percentage or comparing ratio is an essential skill of saving time.
  • Regularly solving DI sets that require reasoning skills and logic and increasing your familiarity with such sets would help you sail through.
  • Getting a clear idea of the DI sets well in advance by solving as many questions as possible.
  • Getting accustomed with DS questions, as they would help you score more.
  • Rejection of DI sets based on the volume of data is a complete NO-NO. More data does not necessarily mean a more difficult set and vice versa.
  • Try not to solve all the questions at once. Try solving a bulk of some easy questions and some difficult ones at a time.
  • Attempting questions that you can confidently answer in 2 to 2.5 minutes would prove to be a better idea.
  • Ration your time between the Quant and DI section would help you neither neglect nor spend excessive time on any of these areas.
