Which types of DI questions do you find challenging (e.g. DS, MSR, etc.)? In case you haven't already, if there are specific questions you've found difficult, looking through the solutions/explanations people have posted in their gmatclub threads could be helpful.

Hi adityaohri , I have a helpful article that could answer a few of your questions - https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-impro ... 46305.html My advice for you is to work on your fundamentals in Quant, and substantially you will start seeing improvements in your DI score too.

DI does take some time to improve for most students. Try taking time bound tests as much as you can and visualization of data is key. Best wishes.

Hi adityaohri,

In addition to strengthening your Quant and Verbal fundamentals, learning and practicing an effective strategy for each of the DI question types would also be helpful.

This Youtube playlist,  Data Insights with GMAT Ninja , is highly recommended by many. You can check it out.

Hi adityaohri,

When students struggle with DI questions, the first thing I always ask is whether they have fully completed their quant and verbal prep. Not doing so can really affect how well you handle DI questions, as many of those questions involve quantitative and verbal concepts. So, would you say you are in that boat?

In addition, one way to improve each individual DI question type is to engage in topical practice. Doing so lets you pinpoint your weak areas in JUST ONE question type. For example, when practicing TPA questions, perhaps you see a pattern that you struggle with 3-part ratios or weighted averages. If you can find those micro weaknesses, you can fix them in real-time and thus improve your accuracy in DI questions..

Lastly, when working on DI questions, for the time being, make sure to practice them untimed so you can focus on JUST accuracy. As you become more familiar with these question types and get more accurate, better timing will follow.
