For most test takers, Data Insights is the most challenging section on the GMAT, with test takers scoring several points lower on average on DI than on Quant or Verbal and completing the section with less time to spare.

Hello All,
Am currently working through the data sufficiency questions in the OG 12.. Am making a lot of errors as the questions are progressing to the extent its dis heartening
the errors seem to be happening for all sorts of reasons ranging from silly to conceptual.. is this because the questions are tricky as the level progresses? Can I do something to improve my scores,Please help .. am not facing this problem on other sections .. Am unable to figure out what additionally needs to be done to come up the curve on DS.

Hi, there. I'm happy to give my two cents. 
First of all, yes, in the OG, in that bank of 170+ DS questions, the questions get harder as the section progresses.
I'm curious about the mistakes you are making --- you say, "all sorts of reasons ranging from silly to conceptual," but you also say that you are not having this problem on other sections, including the Problem Solving, which tests the same mathematical concepts.
How well do you understand the structure of the question itself? Is that the issue? Or do you find that, for a given mathematical concept, you can work with it in PS but not in DS? I'm trying to understand your difficulty with DS.
Here are a few free practice DS questions, all rather difficult.

Each one should be followed by a video explanation of the question. In the paid section of the Magoosh site, we have a series of 16 videos detailing strategy on the DS section. You can find out more following the links in the signature.

Thanks Mike... By silly mistakes, I mean missing to read some info, assuming something or plain wrong calculations.By conceptual I mean - failing to plug that 1 particular value that could have changed the answer option. and so on..
On PS - i am observing few concept errors but most errors are just silly like a mis calculation etc.. except for 4 or 5 questions that required me to brush concepts again, I found the rest of the PS section pretty straightforward.
Thanks for the links though, will definitely go through them and get back .. Thanks again.
