to improve your quant score.
1) Solve all the quant questions which went wrong ..again and again and again.. till you do them within 1 min....
because that is what your weakness is

Look for patterns and booby traps in the questions that you got wrong. For example, are you getting a lot of exponent questions wrong in data sufficiency? Take a look at the positive/even exponent booby trap and make note of it.

Are you getting sum of sequence questions wrong? Then review exercises related to sum of sequence for various ranges of numbers.

Getting word problems - specifically rate ones wrong? Go back and do exercises related to rates -- people leaving 2 stations walking towards each other---people walking away from each other---one walking north, the other walking east forming a right triangle, etc.

Learn from the various permutations of the same questions through identify core concepts and doing variations around that core question. We teach variations on core concepts in our course. But you can also practice a few questions on your own here: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... -questions

I agree with GMAT Pill's advice about examining what questions you got incorrect in the sim test.

We've actually been talking about the best way to learn from sim tests here in our office and just created a blog post today about it:

After you take a simulation test (sim test), don’t forget to debrief! You can improve your study strategy immensely by simply debriefing after each simulation test. Debriefing means taking the time to examine your score assessment and using the information to develop a strategic plan for improving your score.

You should conduct a debriefing soon after each test while the test questions are still fresh in your mind. A good debriefing can take almost as long as the test itself.

After you complete a sim test with Economist GMAT Tutor, visit your learning dashboard to receive a breakdown of your score and get a sense of your areas of strength and weakness.

Look at each question in your score assessment carefully, and determine why you answered it correctly or not. If you answered it incorrectly, what could you have done differently? It’s no use making sweeping statements like “I will pay more attention during studying.” It’s much more valuable to tell yourself tips like “I must remember to plug in negative and positive numbers in inequalities.”

Also, take a look at your time management strategy. Which types of questions took longer? On which questions did you spend too little time?

Another tip: look for recurring patterns within each test. Do your areas of weakness remain the same from test to test? If so, you may not be reviewing these topics properly. This may be a sign that you should schedule a one-to-one tutor session about this subject.

Don’t forget to document your debriefing sessions so you can read your notes before your next simulation test. Good luck!
