can anyone suggest a good book on tips and strategies for Data Sufficieny? I seem to be spending a lot of time on DS questions.

Thanks
Since DS questions are unique to the GMAT, everyone struggles with them at first. In fact, in the beginning, just understanding the answer choices is a chore.

Given the initial uphill battle, a lot of students develop a strong dislike for DS questions, and it's not uncommon for students to avoid (or minimize their exposure to) DS questions while practicing. This is a big mistake. If anything, students should fully immerse themselves in these question types.

Once a student begins to develop a deeper understanding, there are many useful strategies he/she can employ. Some of the big ones include: rephrasing the target question and the table method.

If you're interested, I have a complete series of free DS videos at: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-data-sufficiency
