Delivered through standard mathematical logic questions and linked mini-business case questions, the data interpretation section focuses on two areas:

Communication Analysis:
Communication analysis tests your ability to read a passage and extract deeper meaning through the understanding of main themes, relevant points, and logical inferences.
