AP ICET Analytical Ability Data Sufficiency Syllabus
1. Data Sufficiency:
A question is given, followed by data in the form of two statements labelled as (i) and (ii). If the data given in (i) alone is
sufficient to answer the question, then choice (1) is the correct answer. If the data given in (ii) alone is sufficient to
answer the question, then choice (2) is the correct answer. If both (i) and (ii) put together are sufficient to answer the
question but neither statement alone is sufficient, then choice (3) is the correct answer. If both (i) and (ii) put together
are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data is needed, then choice (4) is the correct answer.
2. Problem-Solving
       A) Sequence and Series: Analogies of numbers and alphabet; completion of blank spaces following the pattern
        in a:b::c:d relationship; odd thing out the missing number in a sequence or a series.
       B) Data Analysis: The data given in a Table, Graph, Bar diagram, Pie Chart, Venn Diagram or Passage is to be
        analyzed and the questions pertaining to the data are to be answered.
       C) Coding and Decoding Problems: A code pattern of English Alphabet is given. A given word or a group of
        letters are to be coded or decoded based on the given code or codes.
       D) Date, Time & Arrangement Problems: Calendar problems, clock problems, blood relationships, arrivals,
        departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbol and notation interpretation.
