Need help to correct my DI approach [#permalink] New post   08 Mar 2024, 04:52
­Hey Guys,
If someone can guide me on the correct approaches for the DI, any suggestion will be well appreciated!

I thought, i would study DI at the end of my prep phase.
Now that two other houses are in order, i started practicing DI using TTP's 5 days free trial.
TTP helped a bit, but i score around 77 in mocks. 
Primary reason is that my timing is messedup! Solving them untimed, i find questions very easy, but it takes a little extra time to understand the them.
Moreover, i make alot of careless and dumb mistakes, one of the reasons i am unable to push my score in quant(currently at 84-86).

I am currently at 645-655, but with DI 82 i can reach 695, but i find it pretty exhausting now.


I need a little practice for DI section, hence i thought to buy the official DI question set.
But i can see two official set on the website, which one should i take?

Hi Ashutosh.

One thing you can do to increase both your Quant section score and your DI section score is to realize that accuracy and timing are closely related because the same factors and skills that make you accurate make you fast.

For example, if you are precise in how you read passages, questions, and answer choices, you'll be accurate, and at the same time, precision will make you fast because, by being precise, you'll be more efficient, and you'll avoid things like circling through answer choices repeatedly because you missed some key information.

So, one way to achieve your target score is to focus on accuracy in Quant and DI until you're achieving very high accuracy in both. The skills you develop in taking that approach wil make you fast as well.

A good way to focus on accuracy is to practice by using the streaks method, discussed in the following post.

Thanks Marty. I am going to follow the advise.
I will practice both QA & DI untimed for a week, maintaining the streak, before i write my next mock. I'll write you again about it.
