Hello,
I am in desperate need of understanding how do I get from Q47 to Q50 or more in quant. I have been preparing quants for quite sometime and in my previous attempt last year in Oct, I had scored Q47 and then took a break due to work. However, I started my prep in mid June this year and scored Q47 yet again and I am very disappointed with no improvement in this section (especially knowing that despite a Q47, it has a very low 59 percentile). Hence, I am thinking whether should I give the exam again. But, I needed to know what can be done to get my score up from Q47 in 30-45 days time.
P.S- I have tried multiple courses but none seem to have helped move my Quant score. I had even identified my AODs and practiced a lot of questions from various sources. My verbal has been steady at V37-38. But a score of 690 for an Indian male engineer (coupled with a low quant percentile) with a social impact work-ex isn't going to help in getting into a good B-school.
Bunuel, GMATNinja, bb, KarishmaB and any other experts, please guide me on the same.

Hi SDW2.
To get to Q50, for each topic that you're not strong in, you need to
- make sure you know all the relevant concepts for that topic
- learn strategies for answering questions involving that topic
- answer questions involving that topic UNTIMED until you
- continue practicing questions involving that topic to maintain close to 100 percent accuracy while reducing the time per question to 2 minutes
Achieving the streaks of 20 in a row is super important. If you aren't able to achieve those streaks, then you don't really have the topic under control.
For some insights into how to achieve high accuracy and long streaks of correct answers, see this post.

At a Q47, isolating any sub-topics you have slippery fundamentals on may be helpful (i.e geometry). May be worth checking some Q50 ESR data to get a sense what type of performance you want. There's some Q50 data on the GMAT Knight website by the way.
At a V37-V38, all things being equal, probably fair to say a person has a decent grasp of the fundamentals. Working on your solving approach may be helpful to boost you past V40. Perhaps work with a study buddy with strong Verbal skills. This sort of learning doesn't have to take long. Had a 6-hour student, for example, get 4 points in the V40 range in about 10 days.
