Help with study plan

Question

Hello,

I have just finished the free quant practice exam of GMAT Club. I am posting my results. It seems that as soon as the difficulty reaches 700 level, I start making mistakes. Since I have scored 49 in this exam and I scored 47 in my previous attempts at the GMAT, can anyone help me with a study plan to reach 50-51 raw score in quant as quickly as possible? I mean should I keep on just solving quesitons or follow a rigorous study routine, which focusses on the topics of the questions that I could not answer correctly in the GMAT Club practice test?

Thanks everyone in advance.

Hi Conquistador23.

Your best bet is to work topic by topic to master each topic. Just doing mixed questions won't be as effective as focusing on one topic at a time.

So, for each Quant topic, especially the ones associated with questions you missed on that test, review the concepts and strategies involved in the topic and then practice as outlined in the following post.

Consider googling for gmatclub posts from people who've successfully made that jump. May be some helpful insight/quick tips you can take. One thing that may also be helpful is to see whether there were shorter ways to solve the questions you were doing - even on the ones you got correct. Any timed saved could be used on future questions, for example. This person got a Q50 on both Official attempts. https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-online- ... 68599.html

Hi Ali,

We last discussed your studies approximately 10 months ago (after you took your 1st Official GMAT). Did you end up applying to the Programs that we discussed or did you decide to push back your application plans?

In addition, I'd like to know a bit more about how you've been studying since then:

1) What type of study routine have you been following over the last 10 months? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you been using during this time? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) What are your current application plans?

Hi Conquistador23,

To improve your quant skills, you may find it helpful to engage in topical quant practice.

For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.

After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?

By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.

You need to make yourself a scientific study plan during the self-test. For example, when you have completed a section, create or synthesize problems that need to be solved, and so on, each problem is a question. You will need a box containing the questionnaires that you ask yourself. Then you draw a random draw and do it as a final exam. In the next step, you will self-check the results and self-assess how effective your work is.
Continuously performing the self-testing process will help you know where your level is, thereby knowing how to handle situations well.
It is very difficult to remember all the formulas and theorems in the book. So you should try to focus on the basics. This body of knowledge often focuses on several areas, for example, concepts, hypotheses, laws, and theories.
Once you have mastered the theory, you should check your level by asking questions related to the content you have learned and drawing a mind map to record the main ideas. This is also a way to help remember longer. color tunnel.
