GMAT - Data Sufficiency?

Question:I just started studying for the GMAT by taking a diagnostic test. Is it just me or are the data sufficiency questions ridiculously hard? I am feeling very discouraged and am starting to think grad school is not for me. I have always been very business savy and usually get above average grades in all my business classes. I really don't think these questions have any baring on what kind of business practitioner I am and will become in the future.

Any advice on how to get better at these things?

Answers:
Business classes have nothing to do with being business savy. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you can't make correct decisions about data, then you aren't going to succeed in any type of business.

You don't think questions about your competency to make correct conclusions about market data, or scientific results will have an impact on how good of a businessman you will be? I've sat in on board meetings for a small biotech startup--if you can't interpret data correctly you will make VERY bad investment decisions and you will be in the red VERY SOON.

Another reason why the business major shouldn't be allowed to do any kind of business...

Half the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies majored in engineering/ sciencies...you think they got there by failing the data sufficiency portion of the GMAT?
Aw, cheer up. Those questions are designed to test your logic skills, and yes, they're supposed to trick you. The only way to get any better at them is to get used to them. In other words, practice, practice, practice. If nothing else, you'll save a little time once you've got the options for A - E memorized.
