CAT 2018: How to ace data interpretation and logical reasoning section?

In the last two years, the data interpretation and logical reasoning section in the Common Aptitude Test has sandbagged the scores of many a test-taker; thus making its mark as the most difficult of the three sections of the test. For instance, instead of the traditional sets that had appeared till CAT 2015, of late, the section has been rife with puzzle-type questions with no clear distinction between LR and DI sets. Step 3: Keep in mind that it’s not about solving all questions from a particular set, but about solving the easiest ones—14-16 questions, to be precise. Do’S • Start with attempting 8 questions with 100% accuracy • Thereafter, push the 8 questions to 12 • Take Mocks regularly • Analyze each Mock thoroughly • Prioritize accuracy over attempts Dont’s • Prepare from offline material • Fear the section • Miss out on analyzing Mocks •Feel obligated to attempt more sets in the time remaining • In the actual exam, as per the trends in the last few years, an attempt of 12-14 questions is 3/8th of the paper.
