Hi everyone!
I started prepping about one month ago, about 4-5 hours each day. I am using the MGMAT guides for concepts and the OG for questions alongside. My first diagnostic score via GMATPrep Test 1 was 610 (35V, 39Q). As someone who is not strong in quant, I decided to tackle that portion first. I spent two weeks going through the MGMAT quant books and doing all the questions in OG. Then, I did a Manhattan CAT (Quant portion only) and got 41, so the improvement is small but still there. A couple days later, I did the GMATClub Quant test and got a 44. I was satisfied with the improvement, so I decided to start focusing on Verbal.
After a week of practicing Sentence Correction through MGMAT books and OG, I did a full Manhattan CAT and got 620 (36V, 39Q). I think that my low score in Quant was due to me not remembering some concepts that were fresh in my mind last week. Not remembering then led me to be anxious and panic, and therefore miss more questions.
I still have two Verbal books to go through for MGMAT, and I am generally calm while doing verbal, so I am not too concerned about my progress there.
However, I am writing the test at the end of July, and I am aiming for 750. I am not sure how to permanently improve my Quant section so I feel confident about the topics going into the exam. Timing is not an issue, its more the nervousness and anxiousness which I think is a product of weak grasp of concepts.
Some people use Magoosh or EmpowerGMAT when they've hit a rock while using books, but I am not sure if this would help.
If anyone has faced a similar issue or has any idea on how I should spend the next three weeks, I would greatly appreciate it!
Cheers

Hi quanghai
If you think the concepts need revision, then that's the first thing you should do!
The first step before taking on questions is to master the concepts(at least when
it comes to Quant)
There are a few links which should aid your preparation for Quant
(The first two links help with concepts and the last 2 links are for practice only)
1.GMATClub Quantitative Mega-Thread
2.ALL YOU NEED FOR QUANT ! ! !
3.PS Directory by Topic and Difficulty
4.DS Directory by Topic and Difficulty
Additionally, you could alternate between Quant and Verbal preparation and
revise the concepts daily(which you have a weak grasp on) from time to time
until they are crystal clear and you don't face any issues due to them.
Hope this helps you!
