Low Quant and High Verbal score - going to retake the exam. Tips?

Hi sharik17

Your first step must be to order the ESR and find out what your exact problem areas are with regard to
Quant. Is it Problem Solving(PS) or Data Sufficiency(DS)?
Once you have an ESR, the experts on the forum will be able to give you ways to improve your score!

You should focus on the concepts because I feel that the low score is because of not being clear with
the concepts.

This link is a collection of all the concepts. You could use GMATClub to practice questions in the concepts
that you have learnt.

This is an awesome post which will help you improve your Quant scores to Q49,50(once you are at Q44)

Hope that helps you.

Thank you for your suggestions



The last link is particularly good. I will go through that.

I actually did get ESR. Here is the summary for quantitative section:

Your Quantitative score of 36 is higher than 31% of GMAT Exam scores recorded in the past three years. The mean score for this section is 39.4.
• Your performance on Problem Solving questions was equivalent to a score of 33. Your score is better than 25% of all sub-section scores recorded in the past three years. The mean for all test takers is 39.41.
• Your performance on Data Sufficiency questions was equivalent to a score of 43. Your score is better than 47% of all sub-section scores recorded in the past three years. The mean for all test takers is 39.46.
• Your performance on Arithmetic questions was equivalent to a score of 43. Your score is better than 48% of all subsection scores recorded in the past three years. The mean for all test takers is 39.52.
• Your performance on Algebra/Geometry questions was equivalent to a score of 32. Your score is better than 22% of all sub-section scores recorded in the past three years. The mean for all test takers is 39.4.
• You completed 37 of the 37 questions in the Quantitative section.
• You responded correctly to 57% of the first set of questions, 86% of the second set of questions, 71% of the third set of questions and 43% of the final set of questions..
• The average difficulty of questions presented to you in the first set of questions was Medium, the average for the second set of questions was Medium, the average for the third set of questions was Medium and was Medium for the final set of questions.
• The average time it took you to respond to the first set of questions presented was 2:27, the average time for the second set of questions was 2:10, the average time for the third set of questions was 1:51 and 1:47 for the final set of questions.

I attached screenshots too.

Hi sharik17

Here's what mcelroytutoring had to tell about the Quantitative Section:



From what I am able to understand from your ESR

Quartile 1(1-9) : 4/7(2 experimental questions)
Quartile 2(10-18) : 6/7(2 experimental questions)
Quartile 3(19-27) : 5/7(2 experimental questions)
Quartile 4(28-37) : 3/7(3 experimental questions)

Because you have consistently made mistakes throughout the test, you were not offered question
of higher difficulty. In order to improve your scores, you might want to work on the 700+ questions
and try and achieve a good accuracy at these questions.

In order to improve your scores, you might want to try the GMATClub tests,
which will make you familiar with the traps that GMAT has. You can redeem
your kudos/points to get them!

Hope this helps you.
