Hi samarth1222.

What kinds of issues are you having with hard questions? Are you getting tricked into choosing incorrect answers? Are you having trouble coming up with a path to the answer? Why aren't you getting them correct?

Consider working with a study buddy. In addition, for Quant, see whether you can leverage the answer choices to reverse solve a question. On Verbal, perhaps learning something like the Negation technique can be helpful for assumption questions.

OK, so one move you can make is simply to spend more time on each question. It takes time to develop the strong skills you need for answering hard questions, and people's skills don't develop when they push themselves to answer questions quickly when they're not ready to do so.

You could get some insights from this post on untimed practice.

Also, the ideas in this post on how to practice for GMAT verbal could help you to get hard verbal questions correct, and to a degree they apply to getting quant questions, especially DS questions, correct as well.
