Hi All,
I am about to start the "practice" phase of my prep which will be going through the OG questions. I have a few questions and would appreciate any relevant input:
1: I see that there are roughly 1500 PS official questions and roughly half of those are categorized as "sub 505". I am considering skipping the sub 505 one's and starting with the 500-600 section and going back to sub 505 only if I am struggling with any particular topic. Does this make sense?
2: I am considering solving the "easy" (500-600) questions in 3 categories (e.g., word problems, algebra & arithmetic, and number properties). Does this make sense? That way I can spot if I am having a hard time with any particular category and sub-category. Given that I will do all the 6 official mock exams, I assume that would be enough practice to get used to not distinguishing by topic?
3: Since now data sufficiency questions are part of data insights and from what I've read there are on average 5-7 DS questions out of the 20 in the data insights section, what would be a good strategy to go about them? I don't underestimate their importance or difficulty, but doing all available DS practice questions seems like an overkill.
Thanks!

That approach seems fine.

You may be better off breaking them down into narrower subcategories. Here's a decent list:
Arithmetic
Linear Equations
Quadratic Equations
Exponents and Roots
Number Properties
- Integers
Even/odd integers
Positive/negative integers
Prime numbers
LCM and GCF
Remainder theory
Evenly spaced sets
Divisibility
Units digit patterns
General Word Problems
Rates and Work
Unit Conversions
Percents
Ratios
Overlapping Sets
Statistics
Probability
Combinations and Permutations
Geometry (limited to a few basic topics)
Coordinate Geometry
Functions and Sequences

DS is still pretty important. DS questions are the most common type of Data Insights questions. So, you should practice DS until you're comfortable with the type and ususally get them correct.
