There’s not exactly a formula for the right way. Different things work for different people so you have to be self-aware because only you will know what will work best for you.

They are obviously trade us for the time that you’ll be spending but it may help improve your score or make you feel more confident so the benefits as well and you have to look objectively as to what your alternatives are for that time and the best use of it it just all comes down to ROI for your time

My suggestion is to try to see if you can give it 24 hours in advance and try to give it to exactly the same time and basically recreate the routine of your test day.

You can absolutely do it without it but I like this approach because it allows you to feel more confident because you know what will be happening on the test day and whatever you do 24 hours before, I would suggest that you make no changes on the test day or at least make only super minor changes but I made it so silly as to eat the same food and wear the same clothes and wake up at the same time.

Granted, I did not go out and take the subway to the test center like I wouldn’t the test day but I woke up at the same time and then waited until the time of the test to start it and then took it and then took the rest of the day off. I also had to travel to another city and I came a few few days in advance (I had to take TOEFL too, and took it first)

Curious if people generally said the DI gmat club sectionals are relative or harder than the actual exam, do you know by any chance?

I feel a lot of people struggle with data insights, even some of the easiest questions. In part this is because they approach them like problem-solving.

But I will let someone else comment about difficulty and scoring.

how many RC passages one can generally expect in actual exam? I got 4 RC passages in official mock 1.

That is exactly how many you should expect. It is very rare to get three

Do you recommend any resources for DI? I’ve been pushing it to the side assuming quants the most important but figured I should start studying there as well

Hi goonjoon,

I’d recommend relying primarily on the Official and DI Review Guides as they’re the most reliable resources out there for Data Insights. I’ve written a few posts about time management and ways to improve your DI score, such as this one: https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-improve-your-data-insights-score-from-d75-to-d82-446305.html.

I feel some of the DI questions in GMAT Club Tests tend to be difficult to complete within the given time, similar to their Quant section, but tackling those harder sets is what will help you improve your pace and accuracy for the real test.

Perfect! I’m already at around a DI82, so ideally need to refine my skills a bit more to hope for that 85

In that case, it really becomes a game of margins. A DI score of 82 already places you around the 93rd percentile, so you’re essentially looking for just one or two additional correct answers. At that level, it’s a tighter game that requires high accuracy along with strong overall time management.

Some strategies I mentioned in the earlier post will still be useful, but beyond that, the focus should be on reducing silly mistakes, quickly parsing important data, and sometimes simply having the luck to avoid a particularly tough question that can throw you off rhythm. See if there are any obvious errors you can fix; otherwise, try achieving micro time optimization by speeding up in your stronger areas (such as DS or TA) to allocate more time to weaker topics like word-heavy TPA questions.

Ah okay, thanks so much!

By the way, BB, are the GMAT club sectionals designed so that the more I take = easier since it has less “difficult questions” in the pool like the official mocks? Or I don’t need to worry about that?

Critical Reasoning Butler: January 2025
January 5CR 1CR 2

_____________________________
CR 1

The country of Sewell was recently hit by a devastating earthquake, prompting the government to request foreign aid. However, direct donations of medical supplies can depress prices of medical supplies in Sewell and drive local producers out of business, further increasing Sewell’s dependence on foreign aid to provide medical care for its people.

Which of the following, if true, is the strongest counter-argument against the argument above?

A. Cash aid would be thirty to fifty percent more expensive to donor countries than the direct donation of medical supplies, since the donor governments already hold a surplus of medical supplies for which they are incurring storage costs.
B. Since Sewell’s hospitals are nationalized, extra medical supplies will not depress the official price, and the government can use the cash it raises from selling donated medical supplies to fund reconstruction efforts.
C. If the medical supplies donated to the government of Sewell are given free to the people, the people will use the money they would have had to spend on medical supplies for other necessities, not medical supplies.
D. Due to logistical disruptions, local producers have produced much lower amounts of medical supplies than usual.
E. Many of Sewell’s poorest live in villages where there are no hospitals, so the benefit of the donated medical supplies will be felt by those who already have access to better medical care than the poor in the villages do.
_____________________________
CR 2

Journalist: For several years, the centrist party has been exhorting its wealthy donors and corporate sponsors to purchase traditional media outlets to propagate its political message, although this practice has earned it considerable criticism. The party has not invested much into reaching out to voters through digital media, even though doing so can lead to greater voter engagement without incurring ethical criticisms. Thus, many political scientists argue that the centrist party’s actions do not serve even its own political interests. However, the party is strongest in rural areas, where digital connectivity is low; the party’s most loyal base is voters above the age of 50, who do not heavily consume digital media; and conversely, the party is most firmly opposed by the demographics that are most engaged in political discussions through digital media. Therefore, the political scientists’ conclusion is likely incorrect.

In the journalist's argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?

(A) The first supports the conclusion of the journalist's argument; the second questions that conclusion.
(B) The first expresses the conclusion of the journalist's argument; the second provides support for that conclusion.
(C) The first supports the conclusion of the political scientists' argument; the second expresses that conclusion.
(D) Each supports the conclusion of the journalist's argument.[/color]
(E) The first expresses the conclusion of the political scientists' argument; the second expresses the conclusion of the journalist's argument.
