At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

I'm sitting GMAT in a 3 weeks and am very much worried about my quant. My verbal is consistently 80-90, and because I only had a month to begin with I focused 100% on quant.
I completed the 5 MGMAT math books (wrote my own notes, did all the OG questions, every single one), which helped a lot with many problems (bless you RTD matrix).
Then I sat a practice test from MGMAT and got 690 (previous tests - 620, 700, 680, 630). My goal is 740+
Positive: first time ever were all my math questions from the 700-800 range, never before.
Negative: had to guess a TONE of questions to keep up with time.
Issues I need help with:
1. I open OG and attempt a problem and I either solve it or not. In any case I then read the explanations, make sure I get all the bells & whistles. You wake me up 3 in the night, give me the same problem I will nail it in below 1 minute. I then sit a practice test and guess what - ALL THE PROBLEMS SEEM COMPLETELY RANDOM. I really struggle to tie them to any previous experience I have. Why is this happening? Not enough practice? Poor concept understanding? What do I do to solve this?
2. I read a question during the test, I think I know how to solve it, I solve it on paper aaaaaand..... there is no such answer in answer choices. BOOM. I just freeze. I waste precious time re-reading the question then recheck my calculation, still don't see how I went wrong and end up random guessing. Genius. How do I tackle this? If you think you know how to solve something but no answer choice fits - what do you guys do? Skip immediately? Look back?
Here's what I do right now for my studies:
Where do I go wrong? Should I focus more on revising old problems? Should I focus more on trying new problems? Should I continue with everything?
To be honest my math was pretty bad to start with - a lot of careless errors. This is definitely improving, as I see my PS now being above my DS (was reverse in the past). So there is progress. But I just don't think there is enough of it to breach 740...
Any advice will be amazingly helpful! Thanks so much!

Here's what I do right now for my studies:
- Have an error log
If I fail a problem due to poor understanding - write a whole page explanation how and why things work so that a 5 year old would get it
If I fail a problem due to time (more effective way available) - prepare a flashcard with it
Have tiny 2x2cm flashcards with things like 1/6 = 0.167 that I review 2-3 times a week
Review flashcards 2 times a week (2-3h in total)
Review long explanations 1 time a week (2-3h)
Do a practice test once a week
Will start reviewing error log soon
Where do I go wrong? Should I focus more on revising old problems? Should I focus more on trying new problems? Should I continue with everything?

I think you are doing similar or same problems again and again. This has blocked you from thinking on new questions. Just practice from new sources like questions on gmatclub and you will be fine. And in any case if you have spent more than 2.5 minutes on a problem. Skip it.
Best of luck.
Kudofy me if you find it helpful.

Hi,
In reference to the Quant, I can provide you some tips specifically on integrated reasoning:
The changes to the new GMAT are relatively minor. The new GMAT replaced one of the two essays from the AWA with a new integrated reasoning section. 90% of what you will have already learned will be valid for the new section. You will only need to spend a few more hours to learn the new Integrated Reasoning section. It is a short section, not even as close in time and effort as the verbal or quant require.
According to mba.com (you can also watch some videos on the IR section and get additional info here) the Integrated Reasoning section consists of one 30-minute section, made up of 12 questions stemming from 4 question types. A prompt or question type might have multiple questions that go with it. There may also be a necessity for switching between ’tabs’ within a question prompt/type. Basically these new question types are graphic in nature and require, for the most part, an ability to analyze data (words, charts, graphs, etc) in order to come up with key insights that require math skills and verbal skills.
The IR section in the exam is not part of the 200-800 score and is non-adaptive. It is graded separately on a scale of 1 to 8. More importantly, it is very possible that many schools will not look at that section as important for now, as it will probably take them some time to determine what an appropriate score is for their particular programs. However, please check with the school programs you are applying to. Most schools have not posted how much they wish to see on the IR section because this does not seem to be a concern for now. Do check though.
Your job is to try to do the best you can there but the concentration should still be on the Verbal and Quant sections. The good news is that you do not need much new raw knowledge but rather you need to become familiar with the question types and practice a bit there so there are no surprises. This section has more of a 'wow' factor as it is graphic and the questions are very different than what has come before so this is what scares people but it shouldn't because of the reasons outlined above.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Evan
