Hi there,
I have completed several tests now, am familiar with time management and also confident about my strengths and weaknesses. One weakness, however, is given my strong headache. I find myself performing pretty bad in the first 10 Quant questions. It's feels like having a mental block hindering me to perform even the simplest calculations and to apply my knowledge.
I tried several things to overcome this issue:
- I tried to start with verbal in order to warm up my mind.
- I downloaded a mental math app and solved some calculations for like 5 minutes to warm up my mind.
- I tried to allocate more time to the first 10 questions to reduce pressure.
Unfortunately, non of the aforementioned things helped me.
Does someone has any advice for me? I could really need some advice.

You should practice mental calculations until this becomes second nature to you. Instead of restricting yourself to 5 minutes before exam. Try this first thing in morning for 10 minutes for 10 days. Let me know the results. Good Luck!

I can see you have GMAT Club Test series access. Therefore, I would advise you to practice 10 questions (5 PS & 5 DS questions) in under 20 min. Do so for the next 10 days. You can do a similar "10 questions mini test" by picking questions from the Official guide, but make sure to time yourself. Furthermore, I can clearly see you suffer from test anxiety. Try to take deep breathes. Do not get too anxious or excited; be calm and composed while you start the test.
