My quant score is not improving can someone help?

Question

Morning guys anyone taken GMAT for recently? any good sharing thought for exam this year

bb · Answer

Hi. Lots of people Take the test every day. However, wanted to point out that your question has a faulty assumption in it, Which makes it a faulty question. The question assumes that the GMAT changes year after year or after month or day. And indeed the questions are different, they change every two weeks. However the test results are consistent (or at least supposed to be to a great degree) so that business schools could compare results for someone who took the test last year versus this year versus next year. The test is valid for five years.

So to answer your question, about how the test is this year, it is the same as it was last year - adaptive and challenging.

Friend I’m currently tacking first part on quant reasoning. I’ve starting doing the practice in GMAT club. I done almost 15 set X21 and try to review and understanding all the question. But the more i practice the more i feel miserable as in every time happen new pattern and I don’t see I have obvious improvement. May I know am I doing the right way of preparation or how I suppose to make myself see obvious improvement.

bb · Answer

It looks like you have discovered the frustration of preparing by using limitless questions.

I would suggest that it’s much better to prepare by studying the theory, then using 20 or so practice questions to test yourself and then move onto the next chapter, Using the book or using a course that teaches you material in a compact and manageable way. In that case, you do not need to take a large number of questions.

ohh you think my way direct start from tons of question is very difficult to master yea.

bb · Answer

It’s lengthy that’s for certain and it also requires certain prerequisites to have a higher chance of success:
1. You need to have a strong base of basics
2. It helps to have a mind that can spot patterns easily
3. You have a lot of patience to go through a significant number of questions
4. Ideally, you would be able to extrapolate which you’ve learned from some questions to be able to apply to complete a different type of questions because on the gym you will always see a question you have never seen before and you will have to figure out how to solve it. (This is only the harder questions)

Omg I thanks for that! Do you guys think follow this 13 weeks is there a chance cross 700+

bb · Answer

First of all, the new focus edition scores end on five, so the proper question would be to ask crossing the 705.

To answer your question, just so that you have no illusions, there are no secret materials and there are no magic pills. There’s no combinations of questions and books and courses and hidden knowledge that will materialize into a high score on the test day. Everything depends on you. The materials Contribute something and perhaps make it easier for you and less frustrating to study and encouraging and motivates you but this study plan is not gonna be taking the test. You will be taking the test and so only you determine which score you will get.

The likelihood of your success also depends on your starting point and how long of a journey you have in front of you as well as your dedication

Hi mengyao1126 my suggestion would be to target your weak area more strategically than just trying it all the way. While it comes to getting a great score in the target time then prep should also be equally focussed on making your strong areas STRONGER and weak areas turning into comfortable to strong areas. You need to look at your current scores in Quant Verbal and DI and then see which section requires most attention and which area in that section requires the most attention and practice. GMAT Focus is an amazing format that gives you an opportunity to get a good score if you move in your prep strategically. We could keep a mock FREE session for you if you wish to discuss about your actual situation sectionwise. Let me know.

Your question is bit vague but points to a common problem faced by many test takers early in their prep process.

It can seem like.a good idea to dive into practice problem sets just to "get your hands dirty" in the GMAT experience. The problem with that approach is two-fold:

1. You haven't benchmarked yourself so you have no idea if you've made a 40% improvement on 10% of the material or a 10% improvement on 40% of the material. Having such an unstructured approach is a great way to quickly lose motivation and increase anxiety. The only way to build confidence is to work in an organised way topic by topic to feel progress.
2. Practice problems give you random knowledge of each area of the test but real leaps come from gaining test taking skills that apply to related question types. This again comes from structured learning.

I'd strongly suggest you focus on using a study guide, books or an online tool like TTP, eGMAT or Magoosh to build your fundamentals more systematically.

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

I second that. In fact, a great way to prep is with topical learning and practice. In other words, be sure to focus on just ONE quant or verbal topic at a time and practice just that topic until you achieve mastery. If you can study that way, you will start seeing incremental improvement.

For example, let's say you are studying Number Properties. First, you'll need to learn all you can about that topic, and then practice only Number Property questions. After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, ask yourself why if you got a remainder question wrong. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?

By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant and verbal topics.
