Hi all,
I'm asking for your advice on how best to boost my quant score.
What I've done:
- Read all of the MGMAT books
- Created index cards as I read those books that I can study
- Started doing all of the practice problems that you can download on the GMAT site (i.e. the pack with ~300 questions)
- Had an error log to track what I got wrong / why
I've also done 4 practice tests. I scored consistently in the 70-75th percentile for Quant on the practice tests, but then on actual test day, I scored in the ~45th percentile. As you can imagine this took a big hit to my score (my verbal has been pretty solid)
My goal is to get above 740, which is doable with my Verbal. I just need to get my Quant up a lot. I'm willing to work hard at it, but would appreciate targeted pointers on where to focus my efforts. My next test is in ~3 weeks
Thanks in advance!

Hi therussian203,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
4) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? Was this the only time you took the Official GMAT?
Goals:
5) What is your exact Test Date?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi therussian203,
Advice for now as GMAT is 3 weeks away:
If you're aware of the weak areas then learn the concepts and practice questions.
Also practice questions from the areas which you think areas strong/medium.
If you are particularly not doing good in DS then do official questions with one approach.
If you took time on a question and got that right then look for the better approach. See Bunuel's solution for that question on GMATClub.
This master directory has the links for all the OG questions : https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmac-official-guides-the-master-directory-links-all-you-need-228566.html
Do not only focus on tough questions. Try to do tricky questions and medium level questions as well.
Score is more impacted by doing a medium level question wrong than a high difficulty level question.
General Advice:
Practicing quality questions, Reviewing them, taking CAT on right interval and reviewing those CATs helps improve the score.
Use all the questions from Official sources out there. but try to learn more than just doing questions.
GMATclub CATs/quizzes has quality questions, GMAT like user interface and Brilliant Analytics. You can practice topics and create quizzes. After you're done with the practice for all the topics, take CATs.
