Hi all,
Took a diagnostic full-length GMAT focus test on mba dot com a few months ago and got a 645. Did not take the diagnostic test very seriously and ended up with a Q81 (79th percentile). Just took a GMAT club focus Quant test and got a Q79 (59th percentile). Since that August diagnostic I enrolled in TTP and completed all quant sections and achieved an average of almost 100% on the easy quizzes, 90% on mediums, and 70% on hards. I read each section did all the practice problems in those section, and did each difficulty quiz (and re-did a few hard ones where I fell below the 60% threshold).
I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong but that focus test felt absurdly hard and I'm feelning seriously discouraged. Any thoughts on how to rectify my score and get to where I need to be?
Appreciate any insight. I don't have a lot of time as I'm applying to deferred MBAs in April.

I'm not sure about the GMAT Club Focus Edition Quant practice tests, but the GMAT Club classic GMAT practice tests tend to be somewhat harder than the real thing. So, maybe the GMAT Club Focus Edition Quant practice tests tend to be harder than the real thing as well.
So, probably, if you want to see how much you've progressed in Quant, your best move is to take an official Focus Edition practice test and see how you do.
Often, it doesn't work to gauge your progress using practice tests from difference sources since tests from different sources often score differently from each other.

Thank you for the reply. Since Quant seems to be my weakest section (funny because I chose the GMAT because I thought I was a quant!) do you think grinding out GMAT club focus tests and problems on the site is the best way to move forward? I've found them more difficult than a lot of the TTP material and if the problems are harder isn't this a better way to ensure a higher overall Q score?
Also if it has any relevance, every question I got wrong was a "hard" although it didn't say any of them were 800 level.
