CAT 2017 LRDI section was very tough and so the cut off was also low. Therefore if you find this section to be too difficult, do not lose confidence. Try attempting all sides and logic you can think of as difficult section will have low cut off also which will ultimately improve your percentile so maintaining confidence at that time is very important.
Try avoiding the use of a calculator as it will waste your time and practice to improve your own speed of calculation as an online calculator is not that much easy to use during exam time.
Focus more on the accuracy part rather on attempting more questions. LRDI section is easy to maintain accuracy and so if you are attempting any puzzle then try to get all of its questions correct in one go.
If on solving any puzzle you are not able to get one of its questions solved then do not waste time on that and attempt next puzzle, at the end if time persists go to it again and try again to solve because time management is very much important in this.
These were some tips on how I was able to excel in LRDI section and got admission at FMS.
TRUST your hard work and blessings of your parents and GOD and rest for some days before CAT to let your mind be free..
All the best for CAT 2020!

An individual with a clear goal clarity and focused towards his career and has immense potential. I want to gain expertise in Finance and a sincere CAT aspirant. Currently pursuing BBA from IMS Ghaziabad. With the time I have developed certain soft skills which are prerequisites in Management field.
Thanks for sharing the valuable tips and strategies for the DILR. As you mentioned we should decide which one to attempt first and later. Could you please throw some light on your way to do this as I often lose my time attempting those question which should have been attempted later.

Hi..I am happy that you realised your mistakes which you did while attempting this section because analysing is very important. As you asked you should focus on your areas where you are strong and your weak areas in LRDI. As for me in CAT 2018 I first attempted sitting arrangement based puzzle which hardly took 5 min to solve which will increased my confidence too.Then I attempted one DI based question because that also was of just simple calculation based..you will have to first prioritise questions based on their difficulty level and your interest in them. As I attempted vein diagram question at last as I was least confident in those type of questions since the start of my preparation.Also try to take career launcher mocks as they have best LRDI section in them. They have high standard questions which will help you to not lose confidence in CAT if that section is tough.You have ample amount of time to prepare this year.. Try to make the best use of it. All the best ...
