I am struggling with the Data insights section. I took my first mock (official practice Test #1) and scored really terribly. I could attempt only 14/20 questions, I think not being able to even have a look at the last 6 questions might have given me a low score overall. (If my assumption is wrong here please do let me know).
I spent a really long time on the MSR questions. Got 4 out of 6 correct.
In fact, here is my break up (from the report generated post-test) :
TPA: 2 out of 3 correct (100th percentile) MSR: 4/6 (81st percentile) G&T: 4/4 (100th percentile) DS: 1/2 (NA, 2nd qn was unattempted as time ran out) OA: 11/15
1. What can I do to not waste time on questions? On some Qns I have spent 4-6 minutes! I know this is terrible, and I would really like to improve. Any stratergy on approaching the DI section is HIGHLY appreciated.
2. How do I go about preparing for DI? Would the OG 24-25 Data Review book be sufficient? Are these the same qustions present here on GMAT Club under the OG 24-25 / GMAT Prep (Focus) filter?
Any other sources I could use to improve my score?
3. I think my issue is time management, but I am open to any feedback, hence have added my break up of each sub section, if anyone has suggestions on how I can improve these, I'd be eternally grateful!

Hi TtTt1212,
When students struggle with DI questions, the first thing I always ask is whether they have fully completed their quant and verbal prep. Not doing so can really affect how well you handle DI questions, as many of those questions involve quantitative and verbal concepts. So, would you say you are in that boat?
In addition, one way to improve each individual DI question type is to engage in topical practice. Doing so lets you pinpoint your weak areas in JUST ONE question type. For example, when practicing TPA questions, perhaps you see a pattern that you struggle with 3-part ratios or weighted averages. If you can find those micro weaknesses, you can fix them in real-time and thus improve your accuracy in DI questions..
Lastly, when working on DI questions, for the time being, make sure to practice them untimed so you can focus on JUST accuracy. As you become more familiar with these question types and get more accurate, better timing will follow.
