Data Interpretation

There are four types of question format:

Venn diagrams, charts, curves and other graphical plots each with two or three sub-questions consisting of sentences that need completing. The answers are selected from three or four-choices in a drop-down menu.

Verbal or quantitative reasoning with two answers to be selected from five or six choices... one per column.

A Table is given with three yes/no or true/false type sub-questions. The data can be re-sorted.

Three sources of information (memos, emails etc.) There can be three yes/no statements or a traditional five-choice multiple choice question. The same data set can be used for several questions.

How to Qualify the Test

If you are required to take an aptitude test as part of an admission or a job application, you may find the prospect a little difficult. In a marked difference to the academic exams you have taken before, you can’t revise for most aptitude tests, as prior knowledge isn’t generally required.

The most important tip for passing your aptitude test is to practice – a lot in every section like Data Interpretation as a whole and all its topics like Basics of Data Interpretation, Pie Charts, Line Graphs, Charts of Numerical Data, and Bar Charts. It’s best to use online tests under simulated exam conditions. As you don’t need to learn any specific knowledge, prepare by familiarizing yourself with the format and style of the questions, and getting used to the time restrictions.
