hello everyone. I need at least 600 - today I scored 620 on mgmat practice test (Q38, V36). Q 36%, V 81%. in previous practice tests I scored 370, 520,550,560, 580,580, went to take a real exam 3 weeks ago and got 530, then 590, 590 on mgmat. My exam is in 3 days, do you have any last minute advise on how can I improve my quant part? Should I focus more on for example number properties topic and try to understand in depth? thank you very much in advance!

Hi kamrim322,
While you might be tempted to do a lot of studying during these last 3 days, you should NOT do anything too work-intensive. In these last few days, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - you would be better served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.
To score a 600+ on the Official GMAT, you do NOT need to correctly answer any questions that you think are too hard or too weird - but you have to keep the little mistakes to a minimum (especially on the 'gettable' questions). As such, you should be mentally prepared to 'dump' a few questions on Test Day (again, any prompts that YOU think are too hard or too weird; take a quick guess on those questions and move on).
As a bit of review, you might consider revisiting your last few CATs. Which questions did you get wrong because you made a little mistake (and what would you do differently to make sure that you don't make a similar mistake in the future?)? Which questions did you think were too difficult (and how much time could you have 'saved' if you had just dumped those questions instead?).

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. To improve your quant skills, you may find it helpful to engage in focused practice of each individual quant topic. For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc. As you do such practice, do a thorough analysis of each question that you don't get right. If you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question? By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to efficiently fix your weaknesses and in turn improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.
