Thanks KS15! Much appreciated!
Coming to your questions,
For question no 1, let's move on to the Verbal forum. I would like to keep this thread strictly for Quant.
2. How do I move from Q47/48 to Q51?
At Q 47-48, one knows his/her fundamentals quite well. So a consistent higher score is an uphill battle of exposure and practice. It is about having a good holistic understanding and a mind trained to recognise "what is being tested?"
I have a series of posts describing small things which take people from 48 to 51.
Fortunately, Bunuel has compiled those here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-go-fr ... 00999.html
One would need to practise a good many higher level questions to ensure that one understands the nitty gritty. First few questions will have a lot to teach and it will be while before it becomes banal, though to be honest, Q51 questions are rarely banal! They are always fun!
3. How do I get to 90-100% accuracy both in verbal and quant?
You don't need 90-100% accuracy. You can get a great score even if you miss quite a few questions.
As for answering your actual question, how to get 90-100% accuracy, I don't really have a formula ready. Think about it - if it were easy, everyone would be getting it. It is a lot about studying hard, smart and sincerely - with an attitude to LEARN, not score!

ok Karishma I have read your posts and found out that you are better at understanding the internal working of mathematics (QUANT) in connection with GMAT then anybody else in this forum. The problem with me is that this is my first ever CAT test in life so I went head on brute force with GMAT which is to "know all to solve all" but I think GMAT is ocean and this strategy is taking me nowhere. I have gone thru all the basic quant requirement from reputable resources and my concepts are fine.
so here is the problem i gave the GMAT club test and scored 8/31 correct and wrote a furious review about the club test but later when I reviewed where I went wrong I figured out that, it is not the theory where I am missing the problem is something else.
I want to give you an analogy to understand what that is. Suppose an amateur starts to play chess what he will see is the pieces and how to move them but he will not know all the tactics. Maybe he will even lose the sight of pieces where they are placed amid game due to extreme concentration on some other part of the board. But it does not mean that his brain is dull it means that his brain is still not wired for that. what does wired means here is that he can not spot the common patterns quickly, yet.
The problem what I am facing is I am doing well in 600-700 level range but when it comes to 700+ I think I am not wired and I think one cannot be wired for the 700+ since each question is a stand-alone question and requires some cognitive thinking which takes time. Maybe after going through 100s of 700+, I could say there is a pattern too but for time being I have to stand at 700+ and invest some brain there to find the pattern which costs time in the actual test. I don't have time to go thru 100s of 700+ to wire my brain so what I have decided is I want Q49 for which best range to practice questions is 600-700.
I have gone thru all OG tags 600-700 here is where I want your help I want you to spot me what type of question bank I should practice to know all common pattern in Q49 range so that I don't have to lose time in making the mental picture and doing the cognitive thinking.
Side note.
I am not running away from nor I am afraid of 700+ given more time I could crack them easily but I am being smart here by saving time, rather than getting the punch on the face and learn from it "I want to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee".
