We\u00a0got a lot of questions from CAT aspirants about the exam, prep plan<\/strong>\u00a0and general preparation strategy<\/strong>; for the benefit of everyone we have compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked questions<\/strong> and answered them in 2 posts. This is the first part which addresses 3 questions that primarily focus on DILR. You can read Part 2 of the ‘CAT Preparation FAQs’ series, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. In some bar graph in DI problems, the value won\u2019t be written near the bar and there won\u2019t be any dotted line (to indicate the exact value) also. So, if we take some approx. value then at times, in the final computation, some wrong answers differing by some 10 or 20 points occur. How to avoid such errors?<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This time of con-job questions have been more or less completely eradicated in CAT. These days they give all the numbers on the chart. Or they make sure that there is no ambiguity in the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XAT, however, don\u2019t care about all this. So, there you have to be careful about all your assumptions. If you are the religious kind, you can pray that your assumptions are more or less valid. But that apart, there is very little we can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we have discussed before here<\/a>, questions come under three types \u2013 EoK, GoK and NYK. For the EoK and GoK type questions, we can do little but hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. While solving DI\/LR sections, many times I am not able to solve some questions, but while analysing the paper, I am able to solve almost 100% of the questions. How can I get over this issue?<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This usually happens in all categories. Don\u2019t worry too much about it if it is only the stray question here and there. This happens to anyone. If it is more widespread, it could be one of two main issues \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
