Hi zmzm,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no real “fast track” to improving your GMAT score. That being said, I’m confident that you can improve your score in a realistic time frame, as long as you follow a sound and thorough study plan.

I’m happy to provide some further advice but first would like to learn some more about your situation with the GMAT. Once you answer the questions already asked, I can provide some further advice.

Also, you may find it helpful to read this article about how to increase your GMAT quant score,

Good luck!

Recently I am stuck at around Q38 -Q42.
Seemed the most questions was asking medium 650 level questions.

I wonder if there is a fast track to Q44.
If I solve a lots of 650 level questions then will it be improved?

Also, I want to know how long it takes to Q44 from Q38 based on your experiences

Thank you for your advices.
I think you're thinking along the right lines (more practice), but there is no one path or time involved in getting from score X to score Y.

Hey zmzm

I would recommend you to go through the mistakes from your previous tests and
try to understand where do you make the maximum mistakes. Work on improving
your basics and the GMATClub Quantitative Mega-Thread is an excellent resource
in order to improve your grasp on the concepts.

Once you have a better understanding of these topics you must solve problems
in these topics. In order to find high-quality questions here on the forum, you
can visit these topics

1. PS Directory by Topic and Difficulty
2. DS Directory by Topic and Difficulty

Whenever you practice questions, try to understand if you are able to apply the
learning to the problems. Every time you are not able to solve a question go to
the thread(where the question has been discussed) and go through the various
methods that have been used to solve the problems. In my experience, you will
come across a few methods that will help you save some time. Try and adapt
these methods while you solve questions during practice. The idea is to save time
in topics that you are good at so as to give more time to topics where you are still
not up to the mark.

Work on maintaining an error log and go through the mistakes you make from
time to time. This retrospection will definitely help you improve your scores.

Hope this helps you.
