Hello everyone,
I am currently preparing for the GMAT Focus and am having great difficulty with DI, even though I don't find the content particularly difficult.
The problem lies more in the time and approach to the questions – this applies to all question types except DS.
I have now taken two mock exams and scored 84-86 points in Verbal, 75 in Quant (which is still far too low, but I know how I can work on that) and only 65 in DI last time.
After the practice test, I go through all the questions calmly and realise that they are not actually that difficult in terms of content, but I have difficulties with the approach and timing.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve this strategically? I read a lot about it and watched many videos on youtube but none of it really seemed to help...
Thank you very much in advance!!

There are many things where one can go wrong during the test. So without delving deep to the roots, it's very difficult to put strategies in place and fill gaps.
There can be conceptual mistake, anxiety, calculation error, time mismanagement and these all can occur in particular type of questions as well.
I would suggest you to dive deep into mistakes and also think about with what mentality you were approaching the questions while taking the test.
