Hello, Please help me here.... Desperately need it!
My GMAT is in 20 days... Postponed it for the 3rd time....
Problems in Quant-
- Took me time to get grasp of the concepts, still not very confident...
- Whatever I know, I take around 5 mins to solve a question.
Speed distance time, Statistics, Coordinate- I know, but take a lot of time.
- inequalities/mod and Numbers... I get blanked out for first 30 seconds and only after starting to solve I get somewhere... accuracy around 30%....
- Under time pressure, I get flustered.. Whatever practice test i took.. was able to solve only 15 questions max in 45 mins... (Some wrong, some right)
Don’t know what to do, how to do.....
My Verbal, Accuracy is 70% but, the pressure of Quant is impacting my verbal prep....
Please help.

Hello !
See, GMAT is not the only aspect of your MBA application, Yes ! it's an important aspect, but not so important that a less than average performance should affect other sections and other aspects of your applications. Let's keep this first in mind, and then proceed to discuss how we can handle the Quant.
You need to be quick, If you take more than say 2.5 mins to solve a problem, guess ! Remember this GMAT penalizes unattended questions harshly. This is a game, and we should know our strengths and weakness, you should not go into a obsessed cycle where-in you "need" to solve the problem at the expense of the entire test.
Now, for the next 20 days, practice only OG questions, Your aim should be not to leave out the easy questions or get any easy question wrong, you can get 10 Hard questions wrong and your score wont be as affected as you get one single easy problem wrong. That's the way GMAT algorithm works. So, memorize how to solve all the easy questions from the Official Guide.
Don't postpone, give the test, let's complete GMAT and start focusing on the applications. Remember: Your score in one section of GMAT is only a tiny portion of the big picture.
All the best ! Don't be stressed. Have faith and move forward !!

It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and uncertain when preparing for a challenging exam like the GMAT, especially when dealing with quantitative sections that require both conceptual understanding and speed.
