to improve from your level you should practice as many questions in your difficulty level as possible. this will give you a feeling for the questions and improve your timing. it seems that you are familiar with the concepts so you should focus on practicing to get optimal results!

We just had another thread about this. Take a look. how-do-i-increase-quant-score-192441.html

However, the short answer is that there is no good strategy to increase to a 50/51 in one week. Some people spend months trying to do just that, and many of them don't succeed! The best you can do with one week left is to analyze common sources of error and make small adjustments to your process to try to prevent those sorts of errors in the future.

Hi Sashank,

At your scoring level, the GMAT becomes really "sensitive" to silly/little mistakes, so you have to take a good look at the questions that you're getting wrong and figure out WHY you're getting them wrong.

Here's an exercise that you can do to assess what you're missing: Review your last CAT and take a good look at all of the Quant questions that you got wrong. How many of them were due to a silly/little mistake? How many of them were because the question was just too hard? To pick up those missing points, you have to eliminate the silly mistakes and nail the "gettable" questions.

With one week to go, there probably isn't much else that I can recommend. You've developed a way of "seeing" (and responding to) the GMAT that probably cannot be changed in such a short period of time. It might be that "your way" of doing things is why you can't score above a Q48. If you can find (and fix) those little mistakes though, then you could improve this score.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi sashankvedururu,

To improve on your quant I would advise you to study one topic at a time and solve all the questions related to it in a one go.Do prepare some notes of the formulas and numbers.Prepare all the topics in this manner.Once completed start solving only the quant section from the GMAT practice tests.Once you are able to score well, start solving the section setting time limits.Practicing this way will definitely pull up your quant score.

Let us know if you need any further guidance.
