For reference, how many questions should I have completed roughly in a quants topic before moving on to the next one? Like a baseline?
Just to add to what Sanskar mentioned, there are two approaches that are predominantly helpful: the accuracy percentage method and the streak method. In the accuracy % approach, let’s say you are planning to solve a set of 50 questions. The target should be around 90% accuracy for easy, 80–85% for medium, and 70–80% for hard questions. In the streak method, the goal is to solve questions correctly in a sequence until you reach a certain threshold. Generally, the target is around 20 for easy, 15-17 for medium, and 10-12 for hard. Once you reach that, you can move on to the next topic

Hi Harsh, is the streak for 20 for medium level questions or hard ones? Hard as in 655+ on gmatclub.
This is again subjective to your target score. I shared the general benchmarks that are relevant for folks aiming for the 90th percentile and above. You can increase or decrease the threshold accordingly based on your target.
Also try to focus on accuracy first, and timing will automatically follow. So whichever way you practice, start untimed to build confidence, even true for the streak method. You will automatically see time improvement once you get the hang of the topic.
