­Hi happy098,

One important piece of advice is to ensure you are studying in a topical way. In other words, be sure you are focusing on just ONE quant, verbal, or DI topic at a time and practicing just that topic until you achieve mastery. If you can study in that way, I’m sure you will start to see incremental improvement.

For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.

After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?

By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant, verbal, and DI topics.

The Best Way to Study for the GMAT

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Good luck!
