Hi Everyone,
I gave Official practice test 1 today, after 2 months of practice. I scored a 615 (Q79, V83, DI 80).
My target score is 655/665 or more
I don't know how to proceed. I kinda feel stuck especially with Quant. I have recognized clear gaps in CR, RC and DI. There are specific types of question types that I need to practice more but for Quant, there is no specific pattern. I don't know how to study further or what to improve:(
I also don't understand the scoring pattern. In Quant, the score is 79, but the percentile is 59th. How does this work? I also got the least number of questions wrong in Quant. In DI and Verbal, I got 8 questions wrong each, while in quant it's 6.
Can someone help me understand this better?
I hope I am able to stretch my score to my desired score in a month's time:(
Please help with your expert opinions: GMATNinja, bb and others

Regarding the scoring, the difficulty level of the questions involved may play a factor. Consider checking out the scoring factors for each section mentioned on the Understanding Your Score page on the MBA website.
In addition to Quant, try to see if you can improve Verbal and DI. Even an extra point on those two sections may help take the edge of what you would otherwise need on Quant (i.e. to go from a 615 to a "655/665 or more").
All the best.

Hi sanyasanha,
I see your question about scoring was answered, so I want to give some advice on how to move forward with your prep. A great way to improve your skills is with topical practice.
For example, let’s say 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, it's crucial to delve into the questions you answered incorrectly.
For instance, if you stumbled on a remainder question, take a moment to reflect. Was it a careless error? Did you fail to apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that eluded you? This analysis is key to your learning process.
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, verbal, and DI topics.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Good luck!
