Hi Sefwow,

Data Sufficiency is a question type that is unique to the GMAT - and it's probably unlike any type of question that you've had to answer before - so it's understandable that you might be having some difficulty with it (especially if you're early-on in your studies). Thankfully, DS questions are more about proper 'process' and not about high level 'math skills', so once you get used to doing the proper 'steps', then you'll likely pick up a lot of easy points in this area. Print materials generally cover several subjects (or several subsets of a subject), so you might find it difficult to find a print source that is just focused on DS. As it stands though, you don't really need a print resource to get good at DS - you need to learn the proper steps, then you need to practice them until they become natural.

I'd like to know a bit more about how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any books that specifically tackle data sufficiency questions?

I am really struggling with this part of the GMAT, everything else seems fairly straight forward but I feel like I just don't have the correct approach to tackling these questions and I try to avoid them.

I want to focus only on this section for a while - could anyone recommend books or guides specific for Data Sufficiency

Thanks,
Sefwow

I think practice is the best way to understand how DS questions are designed and answered. Just try to attempt various DS questions in the forum and start with the easy ones first

Sure. I'll do that - I had a look at Bunel's questions but they were too hard - guess will start with easy ones and work my way through them
