As per the basic requirement of a good manager,  a logical thinking process is a must, which is analysed in the CAT examination. CAT assesses the logical thinking aptitude of the candidates, and the Data Interpretation (DI) and Logical Reasoning (LR) section of the test is closest in resemblance to the kind of problems one might face as a manager. This section tests your decision-making ability and speed using limited input.

DI & LR section will have a time limit of 60 minutes to answer 32 questions. Practice is the key to crack this section. But it is also important to prepare while keeping an eye on the watch.
