Hi all,
I just gave my first official attempt today and scored (unofficial score) 655 with Q81/V85/D84 ~(Q76%,V96%,D94%). I am slightly disappointed as I was targeting 685 and above.
Some background info: spent the past 1.5 months preparing for this and have completed all 12 official practice mocks.
Here are my stats for them by DD/MM/YY (earliest to latest arranged from top to bottom):
1. 12/12/24 - 635 (Q82/V81/D81) - Mock 1 (1st attempt)
2. 05/01/25 - 645 (Q80/V81/D84) - Mock 2 (1st attempt)
3. 12/01/25 - 615 (Q79/V86/D76) - Mock 3 (1st attempt)
4. 25/01/25 - 605 (Q80/V80/D80) - Mock 4 (1st attempt)
5. 26/01/25 - 645 (Q78/V83/D85) - Mock 5 (1st attempt)
6. 27/01/25 - 605 (Q77/V83/D80) - Mock 6 (1st attempt)
7. 28/01/25 - 615 (Q80/V83/D78) - Mock 1 (2nd attempt)
8. 29/01/25 - 705 (Q83/V82/D90) - Mock 2 (2nd attempt)
9. 30/01/25 - 655 (Q82/V83/D83) - Mock 3 (2nd attempt)
10. 31/01/25 - 655 (Q81/V82/D85) - Mock 4 (2nd attempt)
11. 01/01/25 - 685 (Q84/V87/D81) - Mock 5 (2nd attempt)
12. 02/01/25 - 675 (Q86/V84/D81) - Mock 6 (2nd attempt)
During the official exam, I felt quant was a lot more difficult than anything I had attempted on the practice mocks. There were seemingly questions that required lengthy calculations and concepts that I was unfamiliar with. Towards the end of the section, I had only around ~1.2 min for the last 6 questions.
For verbal and DI sections, I was pretty comfortable and could complete the questions with relative confidence, also having slightly more than a minute of spare time at the end (not really useful for reviewing any previous questions, to be honest).
I plan to retake my 2nd attempt in 3-4 weeks time. My plan will be to solely focus on quant seeing that I am lacking in this section.
Leading up to this, does anyone have any advice on how I can brush up on my quant? Also, since I have already exhausted all my fresh practice mock attempts, any tips on how to get additional exam-like practice? (Do I repurchase and re-attempt them?)
Genuine tips and advice are seriously appreciated, thanks in advance!

If you focus heavily on Quant, consider mixing in a bit of Verbal and DI to help avoid those sections potentially getting a bit rusty. Perhaps include doing a few sessions with a study buddy who is really strong on Quant. You could, for example, go over questions you've found challenging during the week. In exchange, you could offer to help with parts of the GMAT you're strong on (e.g. CR).

Hi tommychudw,
It's okay to focus on quant, but I wouldn't skip verbal and DI completely.
All the best for the retake.
