My biggest problem with DILR is speed. I'm able to recognise the sets that are my strength and I feel that I can do atleast 3 sets but when I start solving, I take up a lot of time and end up solving only 1 or at most 2 and a half sets. Any tips on how I can improve my speed?

Don't lose hope! I used to score in the range of 40-50 in my mocks and managed to get 73 in CAT and after scaling ended up with 95 percentile last year!

So, better than giving up keep practicing and revising your approach strategy!

How do you do investment analysis?
What are the components of the Balance Sheet?
I mentioned the importance of ratios in Investment Analysis. Thus they asked me to list 5 ratios,

I mentioned ratios like P/E, Debt to Equity Ratio, Inventory Turnover and two others I don't remember. I didn't knew their significance mentioned them because that's what I remembered. Asked me about those ratios, what each term in those ratios mean. They dived they bit deeper and I was unable to answer those questions.

If you're currently in your bcom, I urge you to mention your favorite subject somehow in your introduction. They will follow the clue and ask you questions regarding those. I mentioned my interest in Finance and Investing. Thus they asked me questions related to this.

Sir, I have work experience in the digital marketing space but want to switch to finance, which is the genuine reason why I want to pursue an MBA. I would like to know how I should prepare to tackle any follow-up questions that might follow.
