How to Prepare for Data Interpretation for the CAT

Data Interpretation (DI) has been a vital section of the CAT Paper. In the changed scenario of the CAT exam pattern (where there are only two sections), DI forms a critical part of the Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation Section. Therefore, it is essential to develop your skills in DI to the level where you can comfortably attempt the DI questions. DI also forms an important component of other MBA Entrance Exams and Competitive Exams of this nature. This new comprehensive book on DATA Interpretation by Arun Sharma is therefore aimed to effectively equip aspirants to tackle all possible types of questions that can be asked on this topic.
