My quant sectional marks from GMATClub have been in the range Q78-79(Given 4 sectional mocks).
I then attempted an official full mock yesterday, but my quant sectional plummeted down to Q70. I spent an usual amount of time early on for the first 10-12 questions(Got 7 correct out of first 11), but all the questions from 13th to 21st were incorrect, primarily as I was running out of time and guess-marked all of those in the last 2-3 minutes.
I have hence not been able to correlate my sectional mock score with the one on the official mock which I got. And I believe anxiety too would’ve pulled my performance down.
Can anyone please provide/suggest the way forward with this. Thanks in advance.
first try to find out the root cause of the issue.
1. Either you’re conceptually weak and hence take a lot of time early on which leads to rushing in the later questions
2. You get anxious in timed environment, you can confirm this if you’re able to solve the questions you got wrong in the test without actually looking at the solution and easing yourself off from the pressure.
For 1st point : go to the search bar and look for a high rated PDF/downloadable to brush up your concepts. If you’re maintaining an
error log, check topics which pesters you the most. Work on them in decreasing order of mistakes.
For 2nd point : try to build endurance. Take short tests of 10 questions first and adapt yourself with the pressure. Build your way to sectional length of 45 mins and ultimately building your way to Full length mocks.
Hope this helps!
