Hi everyone,
I just finished my first attempt at the GMAT and got a 645 (with my most recent mocks being 685 and 665) with my score breakdown being Q79, DI82, and V86.
This seemed fairly aligned with what I was getting in my mocks prior to taking the exam other than my quant section. And even throughout the the exam, I felt as though the quant section was easier than what I've been practicing with.
From what I remember, I feel like I've struggled with the following topics the most: algebra, ratios, word problems
Plus it seemed like everything that I was super prepared for didn't show up on the exam (such as mixed solutions, distance rate, work rate, combinations, etc.). I typically averaged around 81-83 on my quant section but not sure how to best proceed till my actual score report comes out and even if it does, would I know if it was due to a silly mistake or a conceptual error?
Looking for advice on how to proceed going forward since my next attempt will be in approximately 22 days and I've exhausted a lot of the algebra questions. Thank you!

Hi goonjoon,
645 is very good score, well done! Since you mentioned getting higher scores on your official practice tests, and that Q79 is possibly lower than what you got on those tests, it's possible that you got some of the easy questions wrong (perhaps early in your quant section). Can you share any observations from your ESR, once you get it?

Wow. You’ve exhausted all the algebra questions on GMAT Club?
If you have indeed taking so many questions, I don’t think you need to take a lot more questions as your ROI will be low.
My recommendation would be to check your mistakes and error log for questions you’ve missed originally and just to make sure that you know how to solve them.
In terms of your test experience, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get certain types of questions. GMAT is somewhat unpredictable. Some people will get two or three probability questions while others get very different topic mix.
I would also ask you, what areas you feel the least confident in and just start poking around in those.
