I took the practice Data Sufficiency exam out of the official GMAT review guide and scored very poorly on all the questions. About a little less than 50% correct. What am I doing wrong? Obviously I did better on the beginning part of the exam because the questions were easier than the ones later in the book. Is there a specific strategy I can follow? I've heard through the grapevine that guessing answer E on the DS questions was probably the best bet. Any info or insite is greatly appreciated.

Moved this topic to the DS forum area...

I highly recommend that you look at the DS materials available on https://del.icio.us/beatthegmat as well as the DS strategies featured on https://beatthegmat.blocked

You'll find some guidelines in those places to assist you in your DS prep. Good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
