hey guys, best way to improve accuracy as and time management on TPA? Feels like they take too much time, testing... it’s ly main weakness. Thanks for any help!

The best way is to stop calculating things. And try to estimate.

Most want people for some reason, when they see a number, they feel like they need to do something mathematical with it but on data insights, this is a test of trends, estimations and analysis. This is not a mathematical exercise so if you’re crunching math, you’re doing it wrong.

I recommend to people to practice solving each question multiple ways and challenge themselves to see how few calculations they could do on each of the questions, even after you have solved it already just keep trying to reduce the number of calculations. Look at the solutions also by ex experts

Coordinate geometry is a part of gmat focus
No Co ordinate geometry is not formally a part of GMAT focus Problem Solving as far as I know.

But expect questions where you may need the formula for slope and line in Data Insights and DS.
