Hi Guys,
i have a real Quant Problem on the GMAT. In my opinion it comprises of not good enough knowledge of the topics, misunderstanding of questions and insecurity. It really is a mess, i sometimes cannot solve the easiest questions. Its not that much of an issue to understand what I did wrong, I usually get the correct solution but I am somehow unable to solve them for myself. Furthermore I am unable to complete Quant Cats in time!
Just took another
MGMAT CAT, which exemplifies my problem:
Total: 640 (Q37;V39).
And it has to be said that I looked up two Quant questions during the test so that score should be a bit lower. The test before my Quant was 32 and verbal 35...
//I live in Germany so i (unfortunately) can not visit any
MGMAT courses...
Help aprreciated!
Thanks
Hi,
Point 1: You have not been able to complete the test on time. Which could be due to multiple reasons and before evaluating yourself as slow finisher on test you must know that
MGMAT are much harder than actual GMAT tests and to ensure whether you are really slow or not, you must take GMAT PREP test and then decide
Point 2: Due to the same reason that
MGMAT are way harder than actual GMAT I wouldn't like to tell you that your level is of getting score like 37 in quant because the score of
MGMAT are not the right criteria to judge your score. In fact it would be much better to see how many question are you getting wrong in test, what difficulty level problems are they?, and what are the reasons of getting them wrong i.e. Logical weakness or Silly error etc.
Based on these observations, you would be in a position to make a judgement what kind of support you need to further enhance your score in Quant.
Point 3: A great majority of GMAT Quant Questions can be solved within 3-4 steps so if you are taking more time and solving questions in more steps then please realize that your are not solving the questions the way those are expected to be solved.
GMAT requires APTITUDE and not MATHEMATICS!!!Point 4: Also identify whether you make more mistakes in Data Sufficiency or Problem Solving. If you make more mistakes in Data Sufficiency then your logics of solving DS questions are not placed well and If you make more mistakes in PS then certainly you need more work to be done on QUant Fundamentals.
I hope It helps!!!
