Hi everyone

I am having serious trouble. My GMAT date is in a week's time and my prep is sorely down. Can someone please suggest what topics to concentrate for QUANT to get a decent score of around 650 +

Please treat this as a distress call !!!

Start from the beginning:

What topics in quant are you having trouble with?

Have you addressed your timing/approach?

Are you supplementing material with strategies?

if you have 1 week left you pretty much have to focus on your weaknesses instead of learning concepts... any idea what part of quant you are bad at?

ok i get the part about weaknesses and am concentrating on them

hate formulae cant seem to remember any at the end of the day :lol:

yea i have been taking CAT's the GMAT prep and Manhattan ones really not satisfied with the scores :?

I just wanted to narrow down the topics which is why i asked.I had some inevitable gap in between and lost time.
Well doesn't look like there is much i can do at this point :roll:

thanks everyone
