For the last 5 years or so, CAT papers are analyzed with a clear trend that DI section of CAT has been devised into different eight sub-groups viz. Average and Percentage, Calculation, Counting, Creating multiple scenarios, Plugging missing data, Diagram, Networks / Paths and Reasoning.
You need to understand each sub-group in different way so that you can answer properly and these groups will be spread from easy to difficult sets but you need to attempt all in DI. It would be better and it is very important to prioritize each group while not spending much time on each set.
DI questions are typically in a data driven format of Tables, Pie-charts, Line-graphs and non-conventional data representation format.
It is important to prove the calculation skills and speed because Data interpretation (DI) is very calculation intensive. Experts suggest to learn short cuts for fast calculation.
Get on to preparation for DI with mock tests of previous CAT and be successful in CAT 2014 !
