I just started my GMAT. I am doing the Magoosh self study. I have been out of Uni for 10 years now. I am looking to score a 44 on Quant. yet All I'm doing is getting the easy questions wrong at this point and my predicted score is 19-27 on Quant. I really feel like giving up at this point. Yet, I am only 2 weeks into the process.


Does anyone have any tips for me to get batter faster?

Go to high school maths basic. If your concepts are not right, it will be difficult to score, because GMAT quant is conceptual and does not require much calculations

Going through the essential concepts patiently would resolve your problems. Another solution could be enrolling yourself in a quant course, such as TTP or https://gmatquantum.com/plans/

You will find it easier when you will experience video lessons. The link below lists the video explanations to all the quantitative problems in the Official Guide to GMAT. It will immensely help you to resolve quant problems.

Hello, ToksBry. In addition to what has been written above, you should also consider checking out the Ultimate GMAT Quantitative Megathread for theory. That is, you could brush up on theory that is pertinent to questions you encounter through Magoosh, pairing the video explanations you get of questions there with a discussion of the core principles here. You could also try online, module-based learning, but since you are already signed up for one plan, why pile on another? In my experience as a tutor, students who come up short keep trying different things and giving up on them, rather than keeping with a program. There is no magic bullet to earning a desired GMAT™ score. Learn what you can from any resource available to you, and if you need further refinement after that, you can seek another learning platform. In any case, keep working on those Easy questions. It makes no sense to push into more difficult territory before you can be confident that you would see such harder questions on the test. One step at at a time.

Good luck with your studies.

- Andrew
