3 weeks to increase quant score

Hi there Clicks,

My impression of the highest-level Quant questions on the GMAT was that they required a reasonably strong familiarity with the quantitative concepts tested. I'm not sure about the exact variety of questions available in the MGMAT books, but it seems to me that it may not be the most effective - or, at least, efficient - approach to simply try to run your way through the entire stack in hope of being prepared for the same types of questions on the actual GMAT.

Rather, it might be better to just reinforce your grasp of the basic concepts relevant to the GMAT, and develop your facility with them to a point where you can apply them in a wide variety of situations. The MGMAT questions which you have might come in handy here, but you'll have to make sure that when you try them out and check your responses against the suggested answers, you understand exactly why it is you were correct/wrong.

Hope this helps, and best of luck with your next GMAT!

I have gone through 10 of the Gmat Club tests and feel comfortable with the concepts tested.



Is it safe to assume the best method of study would be to practice multiple "advanced" questions everyday to understand the different applications of the GMAT concepts? Would this provide more value than working through the MGAMT Advanced Quant book?

I cannot comment on the usefulness of MGMAT book since I haven't checked it out myself.
And yes, after Q45, practicing advanced questions will help. Focusing on logical solutions would also be helpful. Try to figure out different ways in which you can arrive at the answer. It will help you understand the inter-related concepts. The alternative solutions will help you solve questions where your regular solutions will be too time consuming.

Hi all,

In fact, I have gone through the GMAT CLUB tests as well as MGMAT advance quant book. Club tests will certainly provide you with much required practice and help you understand the nuances of GMAT questions at different levels. Whereas MGMAT advance quant book reinforces the basic learning explaining different turns and tricks. In fact, this book provides the methods to overcome time constraints, help develop logical thinking and also talks about silly twists and turns which one might overlook under pressure. I personally like products of MGMAT and also have used GC to the hilt therefore my opinion might be little biased but I think both these are must for practice and also for doing calculated guessing.

All the best.
