Hi Guys,
I need your help. I'm not sure whats happening but my Quant score is going down instead of improving. I have taken 3 Manhattan tests and they indicate a downward trend in my Quant. Obviously as you can imagine this is very disheartening specially since I am putting in a lot of effort. My method is as follows:
1. Have gone through all MGMAT books. Done mostly all the questions.
2. Have done all questions from OG 13. Obviously I have issues with questions. Have an error log where I keep track of the issues. Look to improve these problems every day by solidifying concepts and practice. One issue I might have is I am getting overwhelmed with the different amount of material there is. I am redoing the OG questions for the second time but need to pay attention to some basic areas as well like percents, fdps.
3. Writing Manhattan CATS and Official practice exams. I have only written 4 exams. How many should i plan to write before the exam?
My own inclination is that maybe I just need to practise more. However since I have practised more my score is going down considerably. What is frustrating is that I know my knowledge is much better. Maybe it is the execution I am messing up. Maybe I need to learn at a slower pace? I have read a lot of excellent posts here which is filled with great info. I have tried to give as much detail as possible. I hope you guys can give me some pointers or some ideas to tackle this a different way? Would really appreciate it!

Hey quantified
The level of Quant in the Manhattan tests is quite difficult and
I don't think you need to bother so much about the test scores!
Though it is important to understand why the scores are going down.
I would recommend the following steps:
1. Take a GMATPrep test to understand what your current level is.
2. Analyze the tests you have already taken and list all the topics
you are making maximum mistakes in.
Link which you should find beneficial - Quantitative Mega-Thread
This link contains all the important concepts pertaining to the GMAT
3. Once your concepts are clear, work on solving questions in your
problem areas and see the improvement unfold. Every time you make
a mistake, make a note of the takeaway and read this list everyday.
A takeaway could be something as simple as "Consider negative
fractions when dealing with DS problems"
4. Last but not the least, invest in the GMATClub tests. In my opinion,
there is no better source to improve your skills in Quant. They make
you aware of all the traps and and also help you in understanding the
intricacies of the Quant section in the GMAT.
Hope that helps you!
