Quick answer: Build speed in percentages, ratios and averages, then practise extracting numbers from short passages and tables before calculating. Confirm the current section pattern on consortiumofnlus.ac.in.

Revise the core arithmetic

Percentages, ratio and proportion, averages, profit and loss, and simple interest cover most data questions. Practise mental shortcuts for each.

Read the data before calculating

Underline what each number represents and what the question asks. Many errors come from using the wrong figure, not wrong maths.

Practise in sets

Solve full data sets in timed blocks, then review which steps were slow. Track the results in your mock error log.

Decide when to skip

If a set takes too long, mark it and move on; return only if time remains.
