Hi folks
I am continuously getting 615 in practise tests from different sources (including 1 OG Test)
I am facing challenges in the Multi-source reasoning questions of DI Section. It is taking me ~15 mins to solve all the 3 questions with generally 2 out of 3 correct answers. Because of this I am not able to solve the last 6-7 questions.
I was thinking of skipping these 3 questions and solve them in the end if I have any time remaining but the risk is that all 3 would be incorrect and that would lead to a sginificant degrade. Also, I have noticed that generally the multi-source questions are towards the harder end so maybe answering them would lead to a better overall score.
Could someone suggest me what can I follow? Does it usually take everyone this much time on these questions or the situation is different?

Hi Gorang,
It sounds like you're facing a common challenge with the multi-source reasoning questions in the Data Interpretation section. Here are a few strategies that might help you improve:
1. Practice Untimed: Start by practicing these questions untimed until you consistently get them right. This will help you understand the concepts and develop a strategy for tackling them without the pressure of a timer.
2. Shift to Timed Practice: Once you feel more confident, gradually shift to timed practice. This will help you build speed while maintaining accuracy.
3. Skip Strategically: Consider developing a method for skipping questions. Make a "go or no-go" decision within 3 minutes. If you find yourself stuck after that time, it might be better to move on and come back to it later if time allows.
4. Review and Learn: After each practice session, take the time to review the questions you struggled with. Understanding your mistakes will help you avoid them in the future and reinforce your learning.
5. Perform: Focus on performing well on the questions you are confident about, rather than getting bogged down by the ones that are challenging.
It's not uncommon for many test-takers to struggle with these questions, so you're not alone. Keep practicing, and you'll likely see improvement over time. Best of luck !

Hi Gagan, getting 15 out of 20 correct in DI can lead to good percentile (90%ile+) in this section. The key to score good in this section is to try for 100% accuracy in DS and then get going with TPA, G&T, etc. If you're compromising on above due to MSR, you can mark them review and see if you have time in the end to solve MSR. Just hope that exam doesn't give you 2 MSRs (which is not a usual case in exams but in official mocks). All the best!
