How to study Data Interpretation & Logical reasoning for CAT & Other MBA entrance Examinations

Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning, one of the most difficult components of CAT and other MBA entrance examinations. If one has interest to solve puzzle and logical reasoning problems then he or she can score high percentiles in this particular section. We recommend you to understand and revise concepts and theories learnt in school up to 10+2 Level. A good understanding of concepts and theories will increase your accuracy and confidence. One should follow following books for Understanding concepts & theories:-

Engineering students are familiar with concepts & theories, so they can directly go for mock tests but working professionals should revise basic concepts and theories before taking any mock test series. Other Stream Students should start with basic concepts & theories from zero level. DI & LR can be divided into three fundamental blocks as mentioned in below table.
