In your ESR think about why your PS score is so much lower than your DS score. Do you understand the concept but find it difficult to do the calculations to actually arrive at the answer? The thing that works in that case is - practice solving as many questions as possible.

drec108 · Answer

Yes this is exactly my problem mostly. Understand concept and how to arrive at solution, but ends being wrong. Sometimes however, i am not sure how to approach teh problem.

Consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful as well. In case you've run out of official questions, see whether any of the guide(s) you have came with online exclusive questions you can access. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, perhaps work on your solving approach. May help boost your score. Had a student who went from a V41 to a V45 in about 10 days. Maybe include working with a study buddy into your prep who is strong in areas you aren't (and vice versa). There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you could check out/sign up to.

Here is some advice on how to improve your GMAT quant skills:

To improve your quant skills, you may find it helpful to engage in topical quant practice.

For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.

After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. 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 topics.

Regarding your challenges in Quant, it's not uncommon to hit a plateau, particularly with harder questions. In the GMAT, once you cross a certain threshold, the questions indeed skew towards medium to high difficulty since the test is adaptive. It's essential to determine the root cause of your struggle with these harder questions. Are you facing difficulties due to a lack of practice with complex problems, or are there gaps in your fundamental understanding of certain concepts? Once you identify this, you can tailor your study plan accordingly. If it's a matter of practice, focus on high-difficulty practice questions and simulate test conditions. If it's about fundamentals, revisit the core concepts.
