Excellent at Problem Solving, Terrible at Data Sufficiency

Question

Hi there! 
I was in the same boat. I could figure out most PS problems, but missed easiest DS. I agree that DS is a bit tricky, but once you get accustomed to it, it will become piece of cake. What helped me is MGMAT DS book. I read it like three times, try it out. They nailed in their approach to tackling DS. 
Best of luck

Hi, even I was not able to do good on ds questions but eventually practice makes everything perfect and you just need to focus more on it

Hi  challa 
DS questions are in fact easier than PS questions, since you don't need to derive the exact answer. 
You need to practice enough to internalise the selection of answer choices.

There is a DS method which knocks of A and D .... then goes through BCE. Perhaps it may help you if you need some structure to go through a DS.

Have you read section 2 (available for free at quantreasoning.com) of my book?
It’s entirely about DS, and includes pitfalls, strategies, and ways of thinking, all the way from basic to the most advanced.

Was once in the same situation as yous. I feel the only way you can improve DS is by eliminating options. Try to prove as many options wrong. Practice from the OG and the GMAT Club CATs. They were instrumental in my DS score of 50.
All the best.
