Hello Friends I have been preping for the gmat for around a month and a half now. I feel strong about my ability to get the questions right. Quant still feels a little weak but im not exactly sure where I am lacking. maybe its the when the time limit hits I make more mistakes or maybe my concepts are not clear. In order to more accurately work on my short comings how should I proceed. I dont want to blindly continue working for hours and still fall short. I wanna work hard but I also wanna work smart.
I recently gave a mock and scored a 610, I missed a couple of questions on quant - which means speed is something i really do need to work on, but how do I start making myself faster is where im lacking some sight.
Hi
vatsalcbyGMAT quant tests only specific types of questions from each topic. So, if you know those questions types and how to solve those using the right methodology, then you can score well on GMAT quant. So, I would suggest you to not ignore any topics you are struggling with. Instead,
● focus on learning the right methodology,
● get to know the question types and then
● practice a few questions to solidify the learning.
● repeat this process for each topic.
You should not practice tons of questions directly. First focus on learning the right methods for each question. That plays a significant role in getting hard questions correct within 2 mins.
Having said that, getting to know your individual score breakup would definitely help to understand if you're struggling with the concepts or just the application of concepts learnt and guide you in a proper way.
