Hello Quant Gurus,
I wrote regarding my average GMAT performance last week already. One of the biggest takeways from taking the real test for me was preparing myself better for "unknown" Quant questions. I was consistently scoring over Q48 in all of the mock tests (MGMAT, Knewton, GMATprep) but ended up with a Q44 on the real exam. Mostly it was to do with exam day nerves, I messed up on timing but what I wanted to ask the forum was more regarding tips and tricks in Quant.
I'm pretty decent in math so I would say my grasp of concepts is pretty strong. Because GMAT is an adaptive test, it is natural to get tough questions you may not know how to do in 2/3 minutes unless your a math genius. So can some of you who have taken the test or still preparing share some of the backup methods you may have used to solve math problems in an effective manner. Would appreciate alternate approaches to "easy" questions as well what to try when you get a hard/unknown question. The latter is what happened to me, I got a couple of "tough" questions in a row and I panicked. I watched MGMAT's Ron's video on "Back up Methods", and found it extremely useful. I'm looking for other such "tricks" and shortcuts.
Thanks in advance.
