Thus, while preparing for <strong>DI-LR for CAT<\/strong>, you must understand that though this section may be unpredictable and challenging, it is still easy to score well in this section with the right mindset and right approach. Candidates must first understand all about DI-LR before beginning to prepare for the DI-LR section for CAT. The <strong>DI-LR for CAT\u00a0<\/strong>generally comprises 32 questions that are split across 8 sets. Attempting one set generally means that the candidate should be able to attempt all 4 questions in that particular set. While it may not be possible to attempt all 8 sets, an accuracy of 50% coupled with the correct strategy ensures that the candidate can score at least 95 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/tests\/cat\/?ref=ContTM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Mock Test for CAT Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparation_For_CAT_DI-LR\"><\/span><strong>Preparation For <\/strong><strong>CAT DI-LR<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To perform well in the DI-LR section of CAT, the applicants should be well aware of the formulas that are related to Data Interpretation and Reasoning Ability. The <strong>CAT DI-LR<\/strong>&nbsp;section helps in evaluating the ability of a candidate in problem-solving. Regular practice helps a candidate to perform well in this section. It is crucial that the candidate begins with understanding the basic concepts of <strong>CAT DI-LR&nbsp;<\/strong>questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DI-LR section of CAT has a time limit of 40 minutes, during which applicants have to attempt 24 questions based on the latest exam pattern. The DI-LR section is a separate part of the question paper. Candidates who aspire for an IIM seat must score 99 percentile in the CAT examination along with a great DI-LR score. In fact, most candidates who score 99 percent in the CAT examination do not get a seat in IIM due to low scores in the DI-LR section. Thus, to score well and get a seat in top IIMs, students are required to prepare a strategic plan for the <strong>CAT DI-LR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Begin_Your_Prepare_For_The_CAT_DI-LR_section\"><\/span><strong>How To Begin Your Prepare For The <\/strong><strong>CAT DI-LR&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>section?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To start preparing for the DI-LR section, the candidate must begin practicing the CAT Study material and books or modules. The candidate must begin with solving basic concepts, such as seating arrangement, ranking, Venn diagrams, quantitative reasoning, and so on. All these topics help a candidate build strong concepts, which in turn help in scoring well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to understand that candidates are in various levels of preparation. Some are beginners, some are intermediate, whereas some may be experts. Thus, based on the level a candidate is in, the preparation must be done accordingly. The following are the various levels that a candidate may find him or herself in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Beginners Level<\/strong>: Candidates who have never attempted or solved puzzles and logical reasoning questions. Such candidates must start by attempting puzzles, as these basic sets of questions form the main study material.<\/li><li><strong>Intermediate Level<\/strong>: Candidates in this level are usually well-versed with solving puzzles and should ideally begin by practising questions and raise the difficulty level of these sets by solving questions from ranking, arrangements, and also matrices.<\/li><li><strong>Expert Level<\/strong>: Candidates in the expert level are generally those who have attempted CAT earlier and are confident enough with basic concepts. Such candidates can start their preparation for <strong>CAT DI-LR<\/strong> by trying to solve previous year questions of CAT and also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/cat\/\">CAT Mock test<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attempting_CAT_DI-LR_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Attempting <\/strong><strong>CAT DI-LR&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before solving <strong>CAT DILR<\/strong>, one needs to be familiar with the time limit for <strong>DI-LR for CAT<\/strong>. Some important points to remember are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Analyze the questions<\/strong>: Before starting the CAT 2021 preparation, the candidate should know about the important topics of the DI-LR Sections. Thus, it is imperative to select the sets of questions that can be solved quickly.<\/li><li><strong>Know the<\/strong> <strong>DI-LR hacks<\/strong>: Different sections usually have different tricks. These tricks can be found in the study material of various publishers or also coaching institutes.<\/li><li><strong>Build on your Aptitude Skills<\/strong>: DI-LR section includes questions, such as puzzles, arrangement, Venn diagrams, and so on. Thus, a candidate must be familiar with all the abbreviations and symbols. The main purpose of this is to avoid any confusion.<\/li><li><strong>Decode constraints<\/strong>: While solving the&nbsp;<strong>CAT DI LR<\/strong> section, try to find the hidden meaning within the questions.<\/li><li><strong>Improve the performance<\/strong>: After evaluating the performance, a candidate must work on improving his or her speed and focus on mental calculations to save time for the DI questions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Following is the sectional composition of the <strong>DI-LR in CAT<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Total Number of Questions<\/strong>: A total of 32 questions from DI-LR.<\/li><li><strong>Total Duration<\/strong>: Time limit given for the DI section is 16 minutes.<\/li><li><strong>Types of Questions<\/strong>: The question paper will comprise 12 multiple-choice questions and 4 non-MCQs (from both of DI and LR).<\/li><li><strong>Marking Scheme<\/strong>: As per the official CAT official marking scheme, the candidates will be given 3 marks for every correct answer and minus one mark for every wrong answer.<\/li><li><strong>Maximum Marks<\/strong>: For the <strong>CAT DI-LR<\/strong>&nbsp;section, the maximum marks are 96 as per the exam pattern issued for CAT 2021.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before trying to move to the right strategy to improve DI-LR, a candidate must know that there isn\u2019t just one right approach or strategy to improve DI-LR. Each candidate has a different strategy of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1633427077389\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What are the Important Topics for the DI-LR CAT\u00a0Exam?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The DI-LR section in a CAT exam requires logical, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
