Hi all,
I attempted the GMAT again last week and did not get the score that I wanted. I am seeking advice on a study plan and I can provide my ESR if needed.
I first took the GMAT in Jan 2022 and I made a 650 (44Q/36 V) on that attempt. I used Veritas Prep before I took the test plus official questions and tests.
I took the exam again in Apr 2022 and got the same composite score so I cancelled it. I enrolled in TTP after this.
I went through all the modules for Quant and Verbal. Unfortunately, due to work constraints I couldn't do the last few chapter tests before my exam but I felt confident in the material. I even saw this in my 3 practice exam attempts.
I have taken all the official GMAC tests before, so I took the scores with a grain of salt because I knew it may not be reflective of what I'm actually at. My scores were as follows from my attempts:
Exam 1: 730 (49 Q / 40 V)
Exam 2 (GMAT Club Exam): 640 (45 Q / 33 V) -The verbal for this one I felt was not accurate
Exam 3: 750 (49 Q / 42 V)
While I recognized some verbal questions, especially on exam 3, I did not recognize any quant questions so I felt confident that I was understanding the material. I also used the tag page on GMAT club to do mini tests of 10 questions each and found myself getting 70% or higher on these mini tests with good pacing.
However, I did not see this on my actual exam. I got an unofficial score of 670 (43 Q / 39 V).
I felt like the actual exam was much harder than my prep, but overall my timing on verbal was okay. I was able to recognize question patterns and apply what I learned.
However, my quant score is a totally different story. The actual GMAT was way harder than any source material I had used for practice. I felt like I could not apply anything I learned. It really threw off my pacing and I ended up guessing on questions and rushing through easy ones. I felt it was not indicative of my practice at all and I was very frustrated.
I am aiming for a 700-710 on my GMAT so I am close. I would like to get a 47+ on quant. Unfortunately, I've used all the official GMAC exams and so many resources but I feel like I am just missing the mark in Quant. I am planning on taking the test again before July 2023 (haven't decided when yet). I am applying Fall 2024 so time is not an issue. If anyone can also point me to fresh CATs that would be awesome because I don't want to keep using the official ones as I've seen the questions before.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi sashok98.
When you were getting 70 percent of quant practice questions correct, what difficulty level were those questions? Easy? Medium? Hard? Mixed? If mixed, what was the nature of the mix?

To improve your quant skills, you may find it helpful to engage in topical quant practice.
For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.
After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?
By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.
