Hi all,
Like many of you out here, I've done my GMAT two days ago only to underperform quite significantly on the real thing. In my practice CATS, I was scoring around 730-760, with verbal around 44-47 and quant around 45-50. On the real thing, I ended up with a decent 710 for a first try but an incredibly lopsided result of Q41 (57 percentile) and V47 (99).
I felt that the questions on quant were far harder than on my practice ones, and probably a bit of bad luck was in there too, with the test predominantly throwing algebra and number properties questions at me, rather than some of the topics that I am much better at like proportions/sets/probability etc. I also felt that the first couple of questions didn't really make sense, which I would presume were some of the "experimental" questions.
In any case, I've decided to declare war on the quant section and to really try and get that quant score up in time for a retake in around 2-3 months time.
What resources would you guys recommend apart from the official materials and Manhattan strategy guides for advanced quant material?

Hi Steve.
You can start by review those sections that you think you had difficulty. You should revert back to your error log.
Next thing you can do is to subscribe to question of the day email on gmatclub. They send you a question everyday and they are really good.
You can also check out the website - https://www.indiabix.com/. They have a good collection of questions.
From my personal experience most of the questions I get wrong are because I did not read the question properly and I miss out on ttle details because of that. The anxiety on final day can be a factor why you tripped on those first few question. But now that you have a first hand experience, just work on your problem areas and keep calm and work hard.
You will make it this time.

Garv Vadehra.

Steve, I think you should take full advantage of the 5 MGMAT math guides. Success on the Quant section is all about breaking down a problem into one of the subcategories described in the MGMAT series and attacking it quickly. Focus on number properties, lots of questions are disguised number property questions.
