­Hi bbb1923,

While some DS questions are verbal-based, the majority of them are still quant-oriented. And as has been said, if you want a high score on GMAT focus, you still need to score well in DS questions.

­As far as I know, DS is only in DI and some DS are verbal.
­Hi! Quant focused DS is certainly important for a good score on GMAT. No shortcuts there :)

­My two cents.

From time to time, bizarre ideas pop up about every possible weird consideration about the GMAT exam and its entire microcosm.

If, at GMAC headquarters, they think that DS must be inside the exam and that it counts for the final score, how is it possible that it is less important than before?

I do not think is so difficult to say that it is in the end

I think DS has been moved into DI, isn't it ?
