As said earlier, make sure you take all the past Actual JIPMAT Mocks to get used to the types of questions that are asked. And keep taking mocks regularly to know where you stand in preparation.

For Data Interpretation, work on mental calculations to avoid time-consuming calculations. Solve at least 2 to 3 sets per day. Learn to analyze patterns in data. Rounding of numbers may help in quick calculations.
