Hey everyone,
I have been reading the forum for GMAT improvement stories and I feel like I'm seeing a constant trend where Verbal is the area they improved. Quant scores always seem to be at 49 and they make a jump in verbal to get to 750+.
I took the GMAT in July and got a 730 with a 44 Quant and 46 Verbal. I feel like I could repeat my Verbal score, but I don't feel like my Quant improves regardless of time I spend studying. If I focus on any Quant topic, it only helps with 3 questions and I forget the information by the time I understand another topic. I have spent 150+ hours studying and I don't know where to focus to see real improvement. At this point I'm wondering if taking the test 6 more times and hoping to get lucky is the best option.
Any suggestions or insight into improving Quant or giving up would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi GMATPadawan.
You can for sure increase your quant score by preparing effectively.
One move you can make to retain the concepts better is to learn topics from ground up. In other words, by learning the logic of what's going on in a topic rather than simply trying to remember strategies or formulas without a solid understanding of why they work, you'll remember things much better.
For example, in studying Combinations, you would learn why the combinations formula works rather than simply memorize the formula.
Also, I think that, by truly mastering quant topics by, for instance, getting to the point of being able to get 15 hard questions in a topic correct in a row, you'll retain them better.
For some more ideas on how you could increase your quant score, see this post.

Consider working with a study buddy with strong Quant skills. They may see some holes you don't. In exchange, you could teach them Verbal.
