Adhere to the below week-by-week schedule to remain on track and achieve your goal.

Weeks 1-2: Building Basics and Understanding Concepts

In the initial phase of your preparation, try your best to understand and master the fundamental concepts of DI. How to do it? Refine your knowledge of basic math concepts like percentages, ratios, and averages. They are the foundation of DI questions.

Here’s the plan of action you can follow:

• Concept Clarity: Learn types of DI sets (tables, pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, mixed graphs, and caselets).
• Speed Calculation: Improve speed in percentage calculations, approximation, and fractions.
• Practice Sets: Solve 5-6 sets of DI daily.
• Mock Test: Take 1 sectional mock test per week.

Weeks 3-4: Do Intermediate-Level Practice and manage your time well.

Once you master the basics, redirect your attention to moderate-level DI sets. Manage your time skillfully while solving them and practicing them.

This is the step-by-step process to follow:

• Practice Different Sets of DI: Solve missing DI, cumulative DI, and mixed graph questions.
• Practice Under Timed Conditions: Solve DI sets with a timer to improve speed.
• Shortcut Techniques: Learn all the effective tricks for quick calculations.
• Attempt Mock Test: Take 2 full-length DI mock tests every week and analyze your mistakes.

Weeks 5-6: Advanced-Level Questions and Exam-Like Practice

Final Tips for DI Success

Here are some of the most effective general tips for better preparation:

1. Develop a habit of quick mental calculations

Mental calculations can save you precious time in the exam. So, practice basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division daily. Plus, learn conversions from percentage-to-fraction and vice versa, and solve simple DI sets. And when you do that, avoid using a calculator to improve your solving speed. Why? Because the faster you calculate, the more time you’ll have to answer the toughest questions.

2. Give priority to high-scoring DI sets in the exam

Not all DI sets carry the same weight or are difficult. So, you should start with questions that you seem well aware of and those that require less effort. Attempt DI sets based on the table or percentage first, as they are often simple. And don’t get stuck on tough questions early. If you do so, you may waste a lot of your time and minimize your score.

3. Regularly practice mixed DI sets to improve adaptability

In the exam, DI sets can be unpredictable. So, practice different types of questions. Solve a mix of bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, and caselets every day for 60 days. This practice will help you improve your adaptability and confidence. And this routine will make sure you don’t have a hard time with new question patterns on the exam day.

4. Focus on accuracy and not just speed to minimize errors

Speed is important, yes, it is. But accuracy matters too, or it matters more than speed. Because after gaining accuracy, you can increase your speed. So, try to rush through questions, otherwise, you may miscalculate and give wrong answers. This may reduce your score. So, always double-check your calculations, especially while solving complicated sets of DI.

Final Words

If you follow the methodology we have discussed above, and follow it with full dedication and focus, you will start experiencing significant improvement right from now. It is very important to prepare well for the Quants section to clear the RBI Grade B Phase 1. And mastering DI in this section is equally important to maximize your score.
