sectional cut offs but also scoring decent marks which in turn will help you with overall cut-offs.
For those who are either weak or average in Quant you can attempt this section at the

Categories of Questions :
We can divide all Questions in Quant section into two categories.

Start your quantitative section with these questions. These questions are generally
easy to solve , require less time and you can easily achieve high accuracy. There will be
around 15-17 Questions from this category.
Simplification
Probability
Quadratic Equations
Arithmetic Topics : Mixture and allegations , Time and Work , Time Speed and Distance
Number Series
Another DI Set
For students who just want to clear sectional cut offs solving first category questions
with a few question from second will be enough but then you will need to solve decent
number of question in both English and Reasoning to clear the overall cut-off.
Data Interpretation: As we mentioned in our previous article, if the answers are numbers not close
to each other, then you do not need to do the accurate calculations. You can round off the numbers
and do approximate calculations and mark the answer closest to the answer you calculated. No
other strategy can beat the option elimination technique in DI section. Try to avoid doing long
calculations as in an exam that demands aspirants to solve 100 questions in 60 minutes; you may
end up wasting and not investing your time by doing long calculations. If you are good with
calculations & approximation techniques, percentage, ratio & proportion and option elimination
technique these questions are very easy to answer.
Quadratic Equations Revising your high school mathematics book on factorization can assist you
finding the roots of the quadratic equations faster.
Series Mostly n2, n3, n2 constant, n3 constant, n2 n, n3 n, n2 n3 will cover around 75% of the
series completion problems. Hence, relax and attempt.
