One of the sections that give the CAT 2011 aspirants is the Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning section. The dates of the CAT 2011 exam can be announced any time now, so donât waste your time any more, start tackling those areas which you are weak at.
The topics of the Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning questions, which have been appearing for the last five years are Data Sufficiency, Analytical Reasoning, Percentages, Differences, Manipulate quantities etc.
The Data Interpretation area consists of graphs, charts, tables etc. for calculating data. Some questions need calculation and others can be solved without calculation. It is not compulsory to answer all questions, so select carefully only those questions that needs to be answered.
Most MBA aspirants think that the Logical reasoning area is more tougher than the Data Interpretation area. Kamlesh Sajnani, Managing Director, IMS Learning informed, âThis section of CAT exam usually consists of family trees and analogies, which require a good concentration and flow of thoughts.â
You need to practice regularly in this section like the other sections of CAT, in order to get a good score in the final exams. Go through last five to six yearsâ CAT exam papers and try solving them without any preparation. Analyze and evaluate your approach with reference to every question including the one which you solved easily.
You should have a good knowledge about the different forms of graphs, charts and tables if you want to score high in the CAT exam. Sajnani adds, âRefer to the graphs and data provided in various business papers and magazines. You need to identify techniques to solve questions which require big and time consuming calculations.â
Principal Consultant of Career Launcher, Gejo Sreenivasan says, âYou must practice a lot in order to interpret the data. Solve at least one DI&LR problem every day. You must read articles, especially on business which are heavy on data and analyze them. This will keep your 'DI cells' on toes.â He also added that âan MBA aspirant should spend at least one hour a day for this section. For practicing this section you should take a couple of tests in speed math everyday. However, one thing that should always be kept in mind while preparing for these sections is that along with speed, accuracy is also important.â
Vinayak Kudva, Product Head, IMS Learning says, âI would suggest that you should solve enough DI & LR question sets, maybe one to two sets per day leading to CAT 2009 preparation to help build the confidence that is required to face the section in the actual CAT entrance exam.â
âRefer to the graphs and other data provided in the business newspapers and magazines. This will help you to identify techniques to solve questions that require time-consuming calculations,â says Sajnani. You should also sharpen your skills for drawing graphs, charts, tables and analyzing them etc. A fun way of preparing for this section of CAT exam is by solving puzzles like Sudoku, Crosswords etc. in order to improve your reasoning skills and speed.
