I have my exam scheduled for mid-Jan 2025. I have scored 635 and 615 in the second and third official mocks, respectively. My DI score was the lowest in both the mocks (78, 75). I am aiming for 685+ score in the exam. Could someone please suggest a study plan? I have already drawn extensively on TTP, Magoosh, and GMAT Club. I have taken 7 Experts Global mocks too. I feel I have a good handle on concepts across sections and I struggle the most with time management, particularly in the DI section.

Aside, how is the Top One Percent course? What's with its copyrighted approaches / hacks - do they come in handy? I would truly appreciate it if some who has subscribed to the course could get in touch. I keep receiving its students' success stories in my email feed, so I am really curious.

Thank you, folks!

Aw - I am sorry. Let's hang in there - we should be able to work this out.

If you're scoring in this range jumping from one course to another will be of less help, it'll be far more productive if you reflect on your learning at this stage i.e. look at all your mistakes in your error log and build your bases by fixing the lacunae.
Feel free to reply if you've any specific doubts.

Hi ElenaFerrante,

Struggling to complete the GMAT Data Insights section within the time limit is a common challenge. One thing I have noticed is that when a student struggles with DI timing, they have not quite completed their quant and verbal prep. Not doing so can really hurt how quickly you can attack DI questions because many of those questions are made up of quant and verbal concepts. 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 speed and timing in DI questions.

Lastly, prioritize quick decision-making; if a question seems too time-consuming, it’s better to make an educated guess and move on rather than get stuck. Developing this type of decision-making mindset will help you better navigate the section.

For more on DI timing, check out this article: Data Insights Timing Strategy

Feel free to reach out with any additional questions.
