Hi MP02170,

A great way to move forward with your quant prep is with topical learning and practice. In other words, focus on just ONE topic at a time and practice that topic until you achieve mastery.

For instance, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects (formulas, properties, techniques and strategies) of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?

By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; be sure to follow this process for all Quant topics.

For some more advice, here is a great article you can check out:

Hi MP02170,

Please check out this post - How to improve your quant from Q78 to Q85?, and see if some of the advice applies to your situation.

Just curious, how much time have you devoted to TTP before your 2nd attempt in which you got Q77?

Hello all!
I started my GMAT prep about three months ago. I’ve generally done well on standardized tests and attended a Top 10 undergrad, but my current Quant ability is nowhere near where I want it to be. I have two more modules left on TTP, but I’m worried that even after finishing, I won’t reach my target score.
Here are my Quant results from past mocks (I took Mock 1 twice):

  • May 21 (1st attempt): Q69 – 12th percentile
  • July 17 (2nd attempt): Q77 – 46th percentile
My DI and CR scores are fairly strong, and I’m aiming for a total score in the high 600s, but Quant is really dragging me down. I’m planning to take the GMAT in early September, so any advice, strategies, or additional prep resources would be hugely appreciated!

Hi YC,

I’m total, Quant took me 170 hours to finish and probably took the 2nd mock around 130/140 of those hours.

I ended up taking the 3rd after finishing quant TTP, and got a 625 (Q79, V83, D81). Still looking to pull up Quant but one step closer to the score I want!

Hi, thanks for your response.

While I'm not a big fan of those online prep programs, TTP is supposed to be one of the best in Quant content. I'd say just keep on practicing, potentially with OG questions, and more importantly using error log to identify conceptual/skill gaps you might still have and drilling on them.

If what you need is hard questions in Quant, two potential resources are GMAT Club Tests and Manhattan Prep's Advanced Quant book. You'll find plenty of hard Quant questions in GMAT Club Tests, and can use it for sectional mocks to sharpen your timing strategy. The Manhattan Advanced Quant book has a few great chapters on advanced Quant and DS strategies, as well as challenging problem sets.

All the best.
