Hello,
I took the GMAT recently and despite being from Engineering background scored only 45 on quant. One of the reason was that I had to guess the last 10 question (due to time) although I could see that I knew the solutions to most of those question. My overall score was 670.
I intent to take the GMAT again in a months time. What would you recommend I do to boast my quant score. Should I go through the KAPLAN books like did before or concentrate on improving my timing by practicing samples tests.
Thank You

Hi
It's great that you accurately identified the reason why you didn't get the desired score.
ISSUE: Time management
REMEDY: Writing prep tests and concentrating on the timing
STRATEGY:
1. Check the clock after every fifth question rather than after every question
Good luck
Regards,
Entwistle

Since you know that timing was an issue the first time around, I thought I'd provide some advice on that.
Try grouping five math questions together and spend no more more than 10 minutes on them. For verbal, do the same but spend 9 minutes instead. Use this strategy on both practice questions and simulation exams. If you fall behind schedule, make a strategic guess or two to catch up. Make strategic guesses on questions that you aren’t confident on or that would take you much longer than two minutes to answer. That way, you buy yourself some time and you can spend more time on questions that you can confidently answer.
Also, feel free to sign up for a free trial of the Economist GMAT Tutor: https://econgm.at/freetrialoffer. I think you'll find our adaptive course to be helpful in improving your quant score!
I hope this helps. Best of luck on your GMAT journey!
