Data Interpretation is part of the LRDI section in CAT. It is one of the parts which can be prepared systemically in the section.

DI consists of the following topics -

  1. Tables
  2. Charts like pie charts, Line charts, Spider charts, etcetera.
  3. Caselets.
  4. Venn diagrams.

Some strategies to follow while preparing for the section is as follows -

  • Since it is one of the systematic parts of the section, you should visit the basics and clear the basics properly before attempting more complicated sets.
  • It is a mathematically heavy part of the section, and you might have to do a lot of calculations while solving a DI set. So, you have to be comfortable with numbers and the calculations.
  • Practice the calculations using a regular calculator first and then increase your familiarity with the on-screen calculator to improve your efficiency during the exams.
  • Give as many mocks as you can and visit last year’s papers to get the gist of the paper pattern and question type once.
