Am I spending too much time on exhausting quant questions? [#permalink] New post   10 Mar 2015, 09:32
I've had an error log runnin since two weeks back where I post all the questions I do, if it's through MGMAT I simply put the question and section, if it's through Gmat club, I'll hyperlink a cell to that specific question. I have decided to split my Quant studying into the sections provided by MGMAT, that is:
-Algebra
-Number Prop
-Word Problems
-Fractions, Decimals & Percents
-Geometry

So far I have completed the problem sets in the Algebra book, all OG algebra related questions, along with all 500 level roots, exponents, functions and all 600 level functions and exponents. In total, its more than 350 questions so far.

I have in two weeks only completed the algebra section, and frankly, if I decide to stick to this method, one book is going to take me three weeks, which seems way too long.

Do you suggest I change my approach to studying quant, by just doing say, a few questions per 500/600/700 level here?

Hi:

You've been doing great so far :beer:
Since your rate of progress depends on the deadline, please tell me when do you want to schedule your GMAT?

Regards,

Given that you have two months, I'd say you are spending too much time on quant.
So before doing anything else. You need a baseline score from the GMAT Prep test downloadable from MBA.com
Once you have a baseline, we can work on a plan.

I did take a GMAT prep test, unfortunately, I can't really see what I did bad on, more than the actual score I got

I scored 560 on the GMAT Prep one, and in the range of 590-630 on Manhattan CATs. My goal is 700.

Whats quite annoying is that even though I have an error log, and thoroughly use it - i still kinda feel like i stagnate. I'll do the 500-600Level sections here on the forum, get around 70-80% correct and think to myself "hm alright, I think I got an okay grasp on it. Then I did the manhattan online question bank, and gmat prep questions and I can barely hit 50-60% correct

Oh, yes! It is super annoying. How about taking a look at your Manhattan mock results once more. But this time, keep an eye out for the following:
1. Which is your weaker section - Quant or Verbal?
2. Within the weakest section, which is the weakest area? Example: If verbal is the weaker section then which among the following is the weakest area: RC, CR, or SC
3. Within the weakest area, what is the minimum, maximum, and average difficulty level of the questions?

Share this info with me and I will tell you what to do next.
