­Hi all, 
I took the online version of test last year and scored a 720 (q49, v40) but could not secure any admits. This year ISB and IIMs will only be accepting offline test scores. Hence I am planning to retake the test. 

Please suggest how should I approach the new version of test. Especially the DS Section as i seem to be struggling with timing in this section.

Thanks.
­Hi! I think you will fare well as your previous score was also pretty good. I am quite surprised that you couldn't secure any admits. Do let me know if you want a ding analysis for ISB or IIM as we have admission interview panelists from these colleges who can help you with a complimentary ding analysis.

For DI, work harder on IR questions and verbal DS questions. Try to have a lot of time-paced practice sessions once you are thorough with the fundamentals. (Start with 10 questions in 25 mins and work on improving the accuracy. Once that is sorted, start practicing 20 questions in 45 mins).
