For most test takers, Data Insights is the most challenging section on the GMAT, with test takers scoring several points lower on average on DI than on Quant or Verbal and completing the section with less time to spare.

Hi All,
So did my second mock test (test date is 22 dec and I plan to do another 3 probably).
I'm reasonable satisfied as I did 640 (plus 7 in integrated reasoning).
However I'm 110% sure I could get at least to 680 if I could get my timing right!
Quant part: had to guess the last 5 and did wrong 4 out 5
Verbal part: ended up 15' earlier... (and actually did 80% of my mistakes in the first 10 questions)
So again if I can speed up more in quant and ease on the verbal probably I can get where I want (680 is my target)
Any suggestions?

I don't know about memorizing that chart for the quant part of the GMAT. Instead, I would look at the where I am in the test, say I just finished Question#24, now I have 13 questions left, just double that and the timer on the screen should be close to 26 min. If let's say the timer showed 20 min, then I know I need to speed up and that would likely mean letting go a hard question. If you don't have your overall timing under control, then the only option is to balance it out by letting go a few hard questions. Obviously, it is not easy to always be able to detect hard ones, but if you have done enough preparation with official GMAT questions, you should have a good sense of what is hard. This is what I do and recommend to my students as well.
Cheers,
