This strategy will definitely make your interest in doing the section with good concentration of your brain and body .

3.Proper reading of the stimulus

While Reading puzzle passages which often discuss unfamiliar terms and theories which you don't actually need to understand, so Logical Reasoning differs in that , you must understand every single word of the stimulus and question stem. In my personal experience, students' often make mistakes result from carelessness and skimming the logic behind the question.So make the small notes on the paper while reading the question so that finally you can arrange all the important points and can solve the problem easily with 100 % correctness.Keep in mind that the logical relationship  The logical relationships between evidence and conclusion being tested in puzzle questions are often simpler than those with "easier" topics on other reasoning question.

4.Cross out unnecessary words

Although very single word of the question is must to understand the stimulus given behind the question, that doesn't make a sense that all given word of the stimulus is important. The very important words are those that form either the evidence or conclusion of a particular argument in any conditional question.Try erasing the unnecessary words hand to hand while your are reading the question and making the blue print to solve it in your mind.We know it is tough but practice can make it easy and can make a huge difference for you in the examination hall.

5.Draw your logical reasoning diagram

Whether  your mind say Yes and no. If should practice drawing diagram,for those question which are more more complicated (such as puzzle reasoning). However, it is not necessary for any question as long as you are getting the main points involved in it according to your strength and weakness so it  will definitely improve your question solving skills. 

Easy steps to solve data interpretation question

As financial market is full of data analysis , so this section plays a crucial role in your selection no one can ignore it for sure , as working in a bank you have to take the tough decision for the proper benefit of the bank reviewing the past credit and debit history of the bank as such data is always in a tabular or pie chart forms. So through this section they want to know you decision and review ability with in a given spam of time with 100% correctness.

Which given years does it cover? Is the provided data in absolute terms or in  percentage form? What do the two axis of the graph signify?, etc. Visualize the statistics for each graph,table, chart or pie diagram.Make sure you understand the blue print of the data.

3.If given data is too long don't panic

As examiner are getting more and more smarter with the tough competition and having a tough pressure of sorting the good candidate among are applicant.So they are making long question look wise and providing very insufficient data and static with the every single question.While looking the question you can feel panic or down motivation this is what the examiner want to come in you so that you can fall in its trap, just relax remember size does matter but not all the time.As you can kill a big elephant  if you can put a single bullet in its head.Some time you don't understand the given data then try to read the question first and go back to data that can help you a lot.So it is very important that you people do not get disheartened by the size of the given data and skip the question without looking closely at it if you are don't getting the idea in limited time per question.

4.Avoid doing question with long calculation

Some questions given in the paper ask too much calculation to be done by you which needs lot of multiplication , addition , subtraction and division at the same time.So if you are in the first round of question solving then mark these question to be solved later as they will make you lose your valuable time.Now as you had solved all your easy questions you can solve these question now as you are left with enough time .These questions are defined as the speedbreakers.First attempting easy questions , you will definitely improve Data Interpreatation Score in SBI PO exam

If you are not paying a close attention to the unit, you may chose the wrong answer in your exam. Another question may talk about two trains for example and may give the speed  in km/hr in one case and min/sec in another. So convert the units into the ones asked.

6.Learn how to approximate digits

Exams are not about finding the exact answer always. Sometime, the options given in the question are far enough from each other to give you enough space for approximation. Example, if you are asked to divide 342658/171224,so you can easily approximate that the answer will be somewhere around 3 by looking at the first two digits numbers only. 34/17 is 2. So, no need to divide the whole digit in numerator by the denominator ti get the accurate answer, try to find an approximate answer. This thing will help you elimination 1 or 2 options .

7.Try to do DI section first 

Last 20 to 30 minutes often bring anxiety and higher stress level in your mind and body and solving DI questions you really need a cool head which can help you analysis the data very fast and with most accuracy.So make your mind before one or two days of the exam how you want to solve the DI section because last minute in an exam room always bring panic and trouble with them and your calmness only can help you to over it.So try to use single question in last minutes time .
