What is keeping you from scoring higher in Quant?
Time management. I am consistently on or ahead of time after about 10-15 questions, then all of a sudden at #25 I realize I am way behind on time. On most CATs I "punt on first down" on at least 3 questions. I read the question, gauge it as hard, and just guess "c" and move on within 15 seconds. Even doing this, I am still very rushed at the end.
Besides that, I don't really know. I am consistently getting questions wrong in many different categories (word problems, number properties, inequalities, sets, divisibility, remainders).. Common failures are silly arithmetic errors, misunderstanding the question, logic errors, failure to see the short cut, etc.
I started with the Kaplan book a year ago, then transitioned to
OG and the
Magoosh program about 2.5 months before my first official test (Dec 2015). I probably wasn't ready in December, but I am getting a little discouraged in quant because I have studied alot since then, and haven't been able to consistently beat my score from the actual test -- even when skipping the AWA. I have done every quant problem in the
OG, and gone back through and re-did all the ones I struggled with.
