Hey everyone,
I started my GMAT prep in August. My first diagnostic GMAT Focus test was a 455. Since then, I’ve been using Experts’ Global for prep and have completed seven of their mocks along with the two free official GMAT mocks.
My recent scores have been between 555 and 595.
Quant around 80 to 81 (70th percentile)
Verbal around 79 to 80 (60th percentile)
Data Insights around 72 to 74 (35th percentile)
I feel I can improve in all areas, but DI is my biggest struggle. I’ve been practicing with the GMAT Forum quiz and watching videos from experts like Marty and GMAT Ninja.
I think my conceptual knowledge is good, but I often find it hard to apply what I know under time pressure. Time management and test anxiety also affect my performance, especially in DI where I tend to lose focus or second guess myself.
My goal is to reach a 675 plus by the first week of February which gives me around three months from now. Ideally, I’d like to be around Q85, V84, and DI80.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to improve my DI score, manage time better, and stay calm during mocks.
Thanks in advance.

Some tips for the DI section:
- Skim the given information to understand the type of information provided. Don’t get bogged down in the details. Just get a sense of what the data is conveying.
- Use the answer choices to your advantage. In many cases, the answer choices will be so spread apart that you can quickly answer the question through approximation rather than precise calculations.
- Use the process of elimination when possible. Narrow down choices by identifying clear inconsistencies or irrelevant options in the data.
- Stay organized. Jot down quick notes or calculations to keep track of information to avoid rereading the same data multiple times.
- Prioritize quick decision-making. If a question seems too time-consuming, it’s better to make an educated guess and move on rather than get stuck. Developing this type of decision-making mindset will help you better navigate the section.

Some possible strategies to reduce test anxiety include exposure therapy (visualizing exam day situations that trigger your fear response), positive visualization, reducing negative self-talk, and turning anxiety into excitement.
