Data Sufficiency

Your situation is very common among people preparing for the GMAT. The truth of the matter is that EVERYONE struggles with Data Sufficiency (DS) questions at first. Keep in mind that this question type is unique to the GMAT, so it's totally foreign territory.

It just takes time for the concepts and strategies to become secondary, at which point you may come to find that DS questions are actually easier than Problem Solving questions.

I could start listing dozens of DS strategies and common mistakes (like confusing the answer to sufficiency question to the answer to the target question), but it's easier to just direct you to our free set of 16 videos that cover everything you need to know to tackle DS questions: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-data-sufficiency

Okay, I also suggest that you spend a lot of time reviewing the responses from the Experts on this site. They often model the steps one should take when tackling DS questions.

Is there a certain topic or question type that is giving you the most trouble?

Not sure I agree with that.
The math is similar, but the verbal is much different.

I think it's effective - we've heard great things from students who have followed it.
If you're looking for additional resources, the Veritas Prep books and the Manhattan GMAT books are great.
