Hi everyone!
I need your help!
I'm planning to retake the GMAT in the next few months. I want to take it the next month, so I have one more shot before the deadlines in April.
I already took the test once, 2 years ago, and I scored 710 (Q49, V39), even though I consistently scored 730 on the GmatPrep tests.
I need your help, because I feel I'm not improving in the quant section and I honestly feel extremely frustrated.
Overall I feel I know at least decently pretty much every topic of the quant section. However, when I start to get hard questions I just cannot always find the right "key" to solve the problem in less than 2 minutes. This is particularly true for Gmat focus tests, the situation is a little bit better with GmatPrep and Magoosh.
Also, I didn't have the same issue 2 years ago with the "classic" version of the test. I'm talking in particular about the Gmat club quant tests. On those tests I'm scoring VERY LOW in the quant section (77 to 80), especially when compared to my standards and all my previous mocks.
I need your help. I have no idea what to do to improve at this point and looking at my scores (GMAT club tests) it almost looks like I'm getting worse intead of improving. Till now, I have prepared studying one topic at a time and drilling on that topic questions for 2-3 days, until I had a clear idea of the most common (and the hardest) type of questions and how to solve them.
Thank you in advance! :heart

Consider taking an Official Focus mock to get a sense how you perform on the new version of the GMAT. Perhaps you perform better on Verbal, for example, since SC is not a part of it. In case time management is an issue, consider using question/time markers. Leveraging your error-log to see which types of questions you find slippery could also be helpful to structure your prep going forward.

Thank you for your reply.
This is my score for the first GMAT Prep mock I took 4-5 months ago (way before starting my preparation), just to understand whether I lost my edge or not.
Quantitative Reasoning: 81 (71 percentile)
Verbal Reasoning: 85 (96 percentile)
Data Insights: 79 (79 percentile)
Total: 645 (89 percentile)
Following your advice, I just took a GMAT Prep mock. These are my results:
Quantitative Reasoning: 82 (76 percentile)
Verbal Reasoning: 85 (96 percentile)
Data Insights: 84 (98 percentile)
Total: 675 (96 percentile)
Basically my quant score is stuck, even though I have spent roughly 90-95% of my time focusing on that area.
Since my verbal and data insight scores are pretty good, I really want to improve my quant: both because it can push my score up by a lot and because I think that a 76 percentile score on Quant can be slightly limitating for admissions to top-5 business schools.
Thank you again for your help!
PS: just as a small note (I don't know how relevant it is), I'm not a native speaker. So, for example, further improvements on verbal are imho not likely, and most probably not worth my preparation time.
