Looking at the screenshots you added, I would suggest you to focus on the Easy and Medium ones you got incorrect - were they silly mistakes or there was some conceptual gap? If it is the former then you need to work on maintaining your focus and eye to detail throughout the test; in case of a conceptual gap, make a note of it, do a quick revision of the topic and re-solve the same question or similar questions - twice / thrice a week for 2 weeks.

Use filters on the DI forum, and select the the question types and sub-topics of the ones you made mistakes in, and try to get your accuracy to 100% for easy and medium questions.

For the score you're targeting - I won't worry much about the current accuracy you have on Hard questions.

Take TTP trial, and start solving the DI question

Aalto700 · Answer

I think I will change my strategy a bit; I will still effort on both easy and  hard  questions. I will focus on the Quant and DI sections to do my best, while I'll let go of the Verbal section. The reason is, first, math is my strength, whereas language is my weakness. Second, quant and DI are valued in the field I'm applying to. So, I will emphasize my Quant and DI scores to the university.
Do you think this plan is ok?  Krunaal

Interesting! I've seen people getting 8-10 incorrect answers in DI and still hitting the 90th percentile. Why couldn't you do it? You were ok in the beggining, but didn't have time management, you had to guess 4 questions at the end because of lack of time. I think you should focus on time management as well.
