I have been practicing for the gmat for over 3 months. I am not very fluent with high school math so needed a lot more practice. I think I have everything else under control but DS, just sucks. Have a 60% rate on it after all that work which is just horrible. Any tips of getting better?
I tend to take too much time, make silly mistakes.

I think my first step at figuring out how to make DS easier was to make sure I didn't look at both answers before I tried to solve. I was always looking at both A and B and while thinking I was only doing A. I started to cover B with my hand while reading A to make sure I only solved A. Then did the oppposite when solving B. For some reason I couldn't process them separately until after I did this for several study sessions, then it became first nature to look at them separately first.
Another thing, to help with time, remember that you only need to know you CAN solve it. You don't have to solve it, just know that you can. Once you know that, move on. As an engineer myself, it was hard to stop at just knowing I could solve the problem, and not solving all the way to the final definitive answer. If you can get comfortable with that line of thinking, it should help with timing. Best of luck.

thanks, I will try those two things- I have been keeping those in mind while trying to solve, but in an effort to save time I have been rushing through the problem and getting it incorrect.
