Hi everyone,
I want to share my experience and strategies with all of you to get a high quant score in GMAT exam. Following are the pointers that i followed:
1. Focus on clearing your concepts -> use Manhattan guides for this
2. Write formulas in a notebook
3. Read formulas daily at least 10 days before your exam and try to remember questions where you applied it
4. Keep practicing question from 700+ levels
5. Focus on algebra the most

Hello, Sajal12. This is a pretty terse guide, but sometimes using only as many words as are necessary to convey a point allows those words to sink in. I really like your third point, to review those formulas day after day and to see how they are brought to bear in questions. It can be heartbreaking to know how to do something one day and miss a question that tests that same concept on another. Consistent review reduces the probability of experiencing such a moment. As much as I agree with the third point, I am not sure the fourth is equally applicable for the majority of test-takers. Sure, if you show some aptitude for upper-level material, feel free to stick with 700-level questions; many people, however, are not comfortable practicing at this level, and working through question after question can be frustrating and none too useful. If the fundamentals are not in place, then I would suggest working up from easier and medium questions. You have to keep in mind, too, that the GMAT™ is a test that punishes mistakes on lower-level questions more than it rewards accuracy on harder ones. (Getting slightly more than half of 700-level questions correct on the exam can lead to a 730 or so, but a test-taker will not see too many such questions without hitting high marks on Easy and Medium questions first.)
I am glad to hear that your system is working or has worked for you. (Did you take the exam? How was your Quant score?) It is always a plus when diligence pays off. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sajal12
I want to add on through my personal experience, My quant is Q46 in actual test. And here’s what I’ve did,
Manhattan guides really helped me get all the concepts.
Quantitative Reasoning has many areas in which they can test, so having knowledge of all would really help! Rather skipping any topic can kill your score (assuming the questions from the skipped topic asked in exam were easy or medium difficulty and you got wrong)
It’s a reasoning test and I have only worked on memorising few formulas because there’s not the only single way to deal with questions.
Here’s where many times I got wrong while practising:
Not using all the important information provided in the question stem.
Unorganised work leading to wrong calculations
Answering the topic which was never asked in question
Making unnecessary assumptions
