­Hi All,

I gave my GMAT FE a few months back and scored poorly in DI. DI was my strongest section but managed to score only DI79. I couldn't get a single Non-Math DS question correct. I had not encountered Non-math DS during my prep or even in official mocks.

I am planning to take the GMAT again. Please suggest some good sources of questions for Non-math DS. I aim to get 675+ on the GMAT FE, which can only happen if I can improve my DI score.­

Sorry!
There are very few of the non-math related DS questions. Most of them are in the Online OG companion (not even in the OG itself oddly enough).
There are some floating on GMAT Club as they are valuable but when you say you could not answer a single one, is that out of 2?

P.S. Just to set expectations DI is a different animal from PS or Verbal. PS you just need to remember high school math and rules and do some practice. Verbal requires sticking to strategies and figuring out reading and logic component, but DI has no strategies (known at this time at least) and it is not based on much of prior knowledge. A lot of is about spotting small details and connecting the dots. Many questions are actually fairly straightforward in DI but having little time makes them VERY hard. The best approach is practice and watching some videos on DI:

MSR: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... d5fNbpZug4
TPA: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... DaDS3fTa6N
DS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MllpWb1 ... p=gAQBiAQB
­I got 4 Non-Math Related DS. It was kind of surprising because I never thought DS would be non-math-related. I was completely unaware because I never encountered any in Official mocks. I scored 665 & 685 in two separate mocks.

BTW thanks for the links.
