DI Strategy: The 'Ten of Twelve' Protocol

Mastery of DI is not just about getting questions right; it's about knowing which questions to abandon. Learn the professional protocol for maximizing your Expected Value (EV).

Strategic Execution

In environments governed by a binary success metric, chasing 100% completion often results in a net loss. Optimal performance is achieved through Tactical Abandonment.

High-Priority (Dependable Yield)

Table Analysis & Multi-Source Reasoning

These are logic-heavy and highly verifiable. Invest your time here to secure points.

High-Risk (Tactical Deferral)

Complex Graphics & Math-Heavy TPA

These often require high time-investment for a single point. Abandon them if they threaten your time availability.

Summary of the Professional Protocol

Remember: Mastery of complex Data Interpretation is not merely a matter of calculation, but of clinical verification. By employing strategies discussed earlier about active sorting, boundary condition testing, and a rejection of all ungrounded assumptions, you can transform multifaceted data streams into a single, cohesive, and provable strategic truth.

In summary, look for the logical clues, available connections, avoidable calculations, and exact question objective. Do not try to sincerely attempt all questons, as this may backfire. Instead, for the 4 question types explained in this section (TA, TPA, GI, MSR) attempt at most 9-10 questions well. Combined with high accuracy in Data Sufficiency, this will ensure a competitive score in the Data Insights section.
