Hi everyone, I started studying the quant section for the GMAT a few months ago. in this period I did about 500 quantitative exercises on the gmatclub site and most of them were OG questions. I achieved 95% accuracy on the easy/medium question (labeled as sub 500, 500-555, and 555-605), more than 85% accuracy on the medium/hard question (labeled as 605-655), 80 % in difficult questions (655-705) but in questions labeled as 705-805 and 800+ I have 50% and 40% accuracy respectively. I would like to ask an expert if the accuracy is enough to score 85 or higher in the quantitative section

Hi DorenOn.
To score 85 or higher on the Quant section, you have to miss a maximum of 2 medium-level questions, and you may score 84 with 2 missed medium-level questions.
Alternatively, you can miss a maximum of 3 hard questions and score 85.
So, if you miss medium questions, you need to get 19/21 questions or 90.5% correct.
If you miss only hard questions, you may score 85 with 18/21 or 86% correct.
We can define medium questions as questions labeled 600 - 655 and 655 - 705 on GMAT Club.
We can define hard questions as questions labeled 705 and higher on GMAT Club.
Also, there may be some questions labeled 655 - 705 that could be considered hard.
In any case, you can see that, to achieve a Q85+ score, you should be getting at least around 90% of 605 - 655 and 655 - 705 level practice questions correct and 86% of questions rated 705 or higher correct.
So, to achieve your target score, you have to increase your practice accuracies.
Also, you can be even more certain that you'll score 85+ if you can achieve streaks of 20 or more correct in a row. To learn how to use the streaks method to achieve your target score, see this post.

Hi DorenOn,
Although I can understand why you are asking the question, the best way to see where you are at is to take an official practice exam. When do you plan to take one?
