Hi,
I've given the DI section quiz around 10-12 times, but the story is the same every time. I'm able to get to the 15th or 16th question only every time.
When I check the time per question I've taken, it is mostly 2:30 and above. But the thing that lags me behind are those 2-3 questions in which I end up taking 4-5 minutes. While solving a question I'm aware that I've exceeded my time limit for the question, but I can't help it also because for some questions like in Two-Part analysis- by the time you read all the info given in the passage and briefly write it down, 2-3 minutes are already over and now since I have already put time in reading and understanding the question, how can I not put the time to solve it correctly.
A similar thing happens in Table Analysis questions, where first you need to get a grasp of what is going on in the table(1 minute), then there are three questions in them, you have to solve and select Yes/No or Sufficient/Insufficient which again takes at least 1 minute each.
As a result, I end up having around 7 minutes for 7 questions in the end and due to time pressure, I end up making silly mistakes and calculation mistakes in the remaining questions. Currently, I am able to score 70 in DI.
Please suggest any strategy that can improve my score to at least 80.
I've also attached my DI section score report.

In DI, you have 5 extra mins (20 ques and 45 mins) and each of these mins are pretty much spoken for. Hence the timeline is tight but needs to be adhered to.
Normally a little extra time in MSR is required - 8 mins for 3 questions. That's 2 mins from the extra 5 gone.
Each TPA question also requires about 2.5 mins. So that's another 2 mins from the extra gone.
Now all you have is 1 extra min. Essentially then, you cannot take more than 2 mins on any DS, Graphs or Tables question. Give yourself these tight timelines during practice too. Yes, it is challenging but people learn to do it with practice. Don't spend time on all the data of the table/graph. Just figure out what is given and jump to the question.
Here are some discussions on how to handle each one of these question types:
