How do i asses my GMAT CLUB Quants CAT and GMAT Prep (Q35 avg vs Q48)

Question

Hello Experts,

I started my preparation with e-gmat course for both Quants and Verbal, i had access to GMAT Club CAT tests, all 25 Q and 9 V, i started taking them regularly (almost 3 times a week), i usually scored around 35-36 on an average, and recently i took a GMAT Prep official practice exam i scored a 600 (Q48 and V25) i was happy to see my Quants score, also i noticed i got 17 correct and 14 incorrect answers.

Please help me in understanding the difference in score, i've read reviews about the GMAT CLUB CATs to be tuff and if only i did write the exam i will get +4 or 5 on my average Club CAT score, according to this i should have got 40-42.

Below is my score list of GMAT Club CAT:
Test Name Type Score
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 31
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 42
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 30
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 35
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 22
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 36
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 35
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 35
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 40
Test, 31 quantitative questions Quantitative 37

Please let me know how can i improve my quant score and also the points variation from GMAT club and GMAT prep practice exam.

nandakumars05 GMATClub Test are tougher than the actual GMATPrep, but GC test helps you to clear the concept.It is good practice to take GC test only once in two weeks.

You can use the OG for practice

OG - https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmac-officia ... 40610.html

Finish one topic at a time , solve OG questions immediately after reading theory, Do not move to next topic until you feel confident.

I am having the same problem, however, I am targetting 700.
One thing I have noticed that my incorrect answers are intermittent and aren't wrong at a stretch. I believe improving here will help me. Could you give any tip, please?
Also, my verbal SC is bad. Any tip there?

You got it right, having incorrect answers at a stretch does tank score most than when the errors are spread out. Identify weak areas, practice on OG and GMAT club quant sections, go for all 500-600 at the start and then 600-700 and so.

SC, unfortunately, official questions are a work of art imo. Others try to imitate them but fail, I am not saying unofficial questions are bad. The questions here on the forum will help you learn and master specific concepts at 600-700 level, get at least 80-90% accuracy on them then try difficult ones from OG. On verbal it is about why wrong answers are wrong too, not just why correct one is correct.
