Hi all,
Just a little background on me - I have written the GMAT exam once before (in the last year). My actual exam total score was - 610 V35 ad Q40.
I am re-attempting the exam again in the end of the next month. I require help on QUANTS perp and all the info below is related to QUANTS only
I started my prep for this year's attempt by going back to the ESR and finding out the topics I scored the least accuracy in. I then went ahead and solved all the problem from OG21 guide on those weak area topics.
(FYI - Before I started solving the questions I wanted some revision on the weak concepts and I used the GMATNinja's Quants Playlist to go through all of those areas. Their sessions helped me a lot to get a quick recap.)
It took me about a month to complete all the quants questions from OG21 and some questions from QR21. Having completed all the questions (including the weak areas and otherwise) from OG 21 - I was wondering what would be the most appropriate thing to do next?
Since I have already given one attempt I would say I must have a subconscious familiarity with these OG questions as I have practiced them for my previous year's attempt. I completed this whole book without any time constraint and got most of the questions right.
I am now confused whether I got those questions right because there was both familiarity in the question and the practice was not timed. I want to start time practiced this month but am not sure which is the best book or the best GMAT Club resource to use in the next step of my prep. I want to build some confidence in my prep by making sure I am using the right material while practicing problems that are not familiar to me.
I have great memory - and in most OG questions I almost instinctively remember the specific nuances of the question - This intuition eats into my confidence.
Please note - I used the OG 21 error log that is uploaded on the forum and not timed my practice - I basically spent as much time as I could on each question to make sure I got the answer right, hence I focused on accuracy first. See attached below my accuracy on the questions from OG 21.
This table shows the no of questions I got right from each level out of the total such questions.
Easy 217 228 95%
Medium 144 165 87%
Hard 52 67 78%
Very Hard 33 42 79%
Overall 446 56 89%
Can any expert weigh in and please help me with my quants prep? Bunuel bb GMATNinja karishma ian marty Brent

Hi kop18.
I agree that you need to use some new questions. In preparing for the GMAT, it's important to develop skill in coming up with a way to handle a question that has an angle somewhat different from what you've seen before.
Also, in case you haven't been, I recommend practicing one topic at a time to give yourself the opportunity to apply what you learn in answering one question to answering the next one.
Regarding finding new questions. fortunately, there are high quality third-party Quant questions that you can use to practice. So, you can practice with fresh Quant questions by finding sources of third party questions that have good questions and then using a little judgment regarding individual questions to keep from wasting time answering questions that aren't quite relevant to the GMAT.

If you've gone through the Official-Guides, taking an Official Mock or two to see where you stand may be helpful.
There may be an online exclusive question bank that came with the Official-Guide you purchased you could activate/use. There are some online question banks on the MBA website you could also check out.
