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.

Hey you guys,
Im preparing for the Gmat for 1 month now and I have some problems. I made a MGMAT CAT exam every week:
1. 630 (q42..
2. 600(q41..
3. 620(q39..
4. 600(q42..
5. 620 (q39..
Actually every score in the range of 600 is ok for me because I don't need more. However I can't understand why I am that bad at Quant and I have the distinct feeling that MGMAT has just a too hard Quant part...
As I went through the OG I had nearly 90 % of all the questions in the Quant part right (first try) and when I see the questions I got wrong in the MGMAT CAT there was always some kind of trick in the question for example they show you a picture of a triangle inscribed in a circle and it clearly shows that one of the sides of the triangle is the diameter, yet this is a wrong assumption in DS. Those kind of questions are not about mathematical skill in my opinion but they just intend to trick you !
I dont want to offend anyone but everything in my life that had something to do with math I was one of the best students and I would say that I have quite a talent for things like that. So this should mean that when I prepare for something like this I should be at least slightly above average...which I also was in OG Diagonstic test...
Can somebody help me in this situation. Everytime I took a new test I was sure this time I will be better at Quant but again Verbal saved me...
And more important: Why on earth was my first test the best ???? I learned so much in math in these 4 weeks and still when I didn't prepare at all that was my best score.
Can somebody give me few tips or just state whether MGMAT CAT is actually that hard in Quant ?
Kind regards
Marlo

Hello Marlo,
MGMAT cats are definitely tougher than the actual GMAT. If your basics are covered, most likely you will be having timing issues on MGMAT CATS because sometimes the information is to convoluted or it takes time to understand what is really required. I would definitely say if your Basics are in place, You can look to add +2 points to Math score on Real GMAT exam...Here are few links that you should look at
