Find the decision before the data

A strong Data Insights course teaches students what to ignore as carefully as what to calculate

Information density creates pressure, so the candidate needs a source map, a defined task and disciplined evidence selection.

Confirm the current format. Data Insights contains 20 questions in 45 minutes and measures the ability to analyse different data types from multiple sources to make informed decisions. The five official question families are Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation and Two-Part Analysis. A provider that treats DI as a minor calculator lesson is not covering the section’s reasoning and data-literacy demands.

Use a family-level diagnostic. Record performance separately for sufficiency, source comparison, table filtering, graph interpretation and two-part decisions. Classify task interpretation, relevance, units, calculation, inference, interface selection, incomplete response and time. A single DI score can hide very different weaknesses. Maintain both quantitative and verbal analysis because current DI questions may use either or combine them.

Teach selective reading. In Multi-Source Reasoning, identify each source’s purpose, date, unit and viewpoint, then read the question before gathering details. Some tasks require recognising discrepancies, some drawing inferences and others identifying the relevant source. Official guidance says all needed information is supplied; outside knowledge should not override it. A short source map prevents repeated rereading and unsupported assumptions.

Teach task-specific controls. For Data Sufficiency, decide whether information is enough rather than solving more than needed, and avoid assuming a figure is drawn to scale. For Table Analysis, read column definitions and filter only after understanding the condition. For Graphics Interpretation, check axes, scales, labels and units. For Two-Part Analysis, inspect both column tasks and determine whether the decisions are dependent or independent.

Use the on-screen calculator deliberately. It can reduce arithmetic work in Data Insights but cannot choose the model or correct a wrong denominator. Write the relationship and units first. Start with targeted official-format sets, then mix the five families under time. Review every multi-part response and changed answer. Full official simulations should connect DI with Quant and Verbal because the three sections are equally weighted in the current Total Score.

MKS Education offers Data Insights classes in physical, online and hybrid modes in Kathmandu, with recordings for every mode, iOS and Android practice, physical books and feedback. The guided GMAT course runs for eight weeks, with six-month access and continued support. Students needing another suitable explanation may join suitable classes without another class charge subject to schedules and seats. MKS cannot guarantee a score, admission, scholarship or funding.

Diagnose first

Use a current official-format baseline and classify Quant Verbal and Data Insights errors before choosing weekly priorities.

Match the goal

Connect the test date and preparation schedule to official programme and scholarship deadlines.

Verify claims

Use mba.com and official business-school pages for changing format, fees, dates and score-use policies.

Evidence table

Turn the comparison into checks you can verify

Use the same questions for every provider and save the written answer. A transparent system is easier to compare than a headline promise.

Connected preparation

What makes the MKS GMAT learning system different

The live class, revision, independent practice and extended support work together instead of ending on the last teaching day.

Physical online and hybrid

Choose a suitable mode and confirm the current timetable for Kathmandu or remote learning.

Recordings in every mode

Physical, online and hybrid students can revisit difficult concepts and recover missed work.

iOS and Android practice

Use structured GMAT practice and review through the MKS digital learning system outside class.

Physical books

Follow organised print material alongside app practice, teacher guidance and official GMAC resources.

Eight weeks plus six months

Eight weeks of guided teaching connects to six-month learning access and continued support.

Multiple suitable classes

Students needing repetition may join suitable classes without another class charge, subject to schedule and seats.

Practical next steps

  • Diagnose all five Data Insights question families.
  • Define the decision and units before reading every source.
  • Check every component of a multi-part response.
  • Move from targeted sets to mixed timed official simulations.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Do not treat Data Insights as only a math section.
  • Do not assume every source is relevant.
  • Do not calculate before defining the relationship.
  • Do not accept a guaranteed DI or Total Score claim.
Current test context

Prepare for the GMAT exam students now take

GMAC lists three 45-minute sections, 64 questions and 2 hours 15 minutes of testing, plus one optional 10-minute break.

Quantitative Reasoning

Twenty-one Problem Solving questions test arithmetic, elementary algebra, logic and analytical problem solving without a calculator.

Verbal Reasoning

Twenty-three Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning questions test understanding and argument evaluation.

Data Insights

Twenty questions combine quantitative, verbal and data literacy across five current question families, with an on-screen calculator.
