Hello everyone,
I've been preparing for GMAT over the last month, and i took the test today.
Afer scoring a 650 and 640 on GMAT Prep, i continued on the downward trend to score a 630 with 76th percentile in V and a shameful 47th in Quant.
While most of people relatively struggle with Verbal, i just can't wrap my head around the quant section. I've done all the OG 2017 questions + the Quant additional study book. I most surely progressed since i've started studying, but my quant score is still extremely low.
Any advice or insight into how i can get as close as possible to the 700 mark would be extremely helpful.

Yes first of all i would say not just quant you should even try to improve in verbal. A 76th percentile is decent but try to up your score to a 40+. I would suggest devoting 80% time to math and improve for a 43-44 to 48-49. Do one module at a time from a reliable source like manhattan or egmat math module etc. After that do the 500 level questions from gmatclub in exam mode. Then the 600 and finally the 700. In this way you will improve step by step. You can message for further tips

Hi stigman17,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your various score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (640 +/- a few points). To score at a significantly higher level, you'll need to make some fundamental changes to how you 'see' (and respond to) the Test. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
