If it helps at all, you should know that everyone struggles with Data Sufficiency (DS) questions at first. This question type is totally unique to the GMAT, so it's foreign territory.
If you're looking for some extra DS resources, we have a free set of videos that cover everything you need to know: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-data-sufficiency
Your idea to focus on certain topics is perfect. To help you focus on one topic at a time, you can use BTG's tagging feature. For example, here are all of the questions tagged as statistics questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/forums/tags/ ... statistics
See the left side of that linked page for more tag options.
I also suggest that you spend a lot of time reviewing the responses from the Experts on this site, since they often model the steps you should be taking when answering questions.
Cheers,
Brent

Keep at it and Data Sufficiency will become as comfortable as a set of clean, dry socks on a cold day.
Meanwhile, don't make the mistake I kinda made, focusing on weakest areas and not realizing that right behind the weakest are other areas that may not seem as freaky but still could use work.
Finally, remember to not diss verbal just because you are more comfortable with it. Can always get more points there too, unless you are somehow already getting all the verbal questions right all the time.
It's a pretty good game. Have fun playing it.
