Build Familiarity With Each DI Question Type
Once you have broad mastery of Quant and Verbal, the biggest hurdle to working efficiently in Data Insights is building familiarity and comfort with the DI question types.
You must take the time to thoroughly study each DI question type, its subtypes, and the specific strategies associated with each type. For example, to master Graphics Interpretation, you should have strategies for analyzing each type of graph you may see. So, you should know how to efficiently analyze scatterplots, stacked column charts, and so on.
To master Table Analysis, you should know how to identify what a question is asking for and how to sort a table accordingly.
To build familiarity and confidence with each DI question type and subtype, in addition to learning strategies for each type, make sure to practice with a wide array of DI questions. Applying the strategies you learn in a broad variety of scenarios is critical preparation for tackling any DI question that you may face on test day.
