At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hey everyone!
I just got done with my first GMAT on June 5th and scored a 710 (Q46, V41). As is quite evident, my Quant score pulled me down. I plan to retake the GMAT one month from now and desperately need to pull up my Quant score.
Prior to my first take, I worked very hard on Quant since that was my weak area. A brief on my Quant prep till date:
1. Covered the Manhattan strategy guides about 6 months prior to the test. Didn’t go through them again before the test.
2. Finished the Official Guide and did wrong questions twice.
3. Purchased the GMATClub Quant Tests and primarily worked on these. I took 21 tests, roughly about one a day. My scores were all over the place in these! I managed to get 3 49’s and 4 48’s in these tests. The rest of the scores were lower 40’s and higher 30’s. Prior to the GMAT, I went through all wrong questions twice and made notes of little tips and tricks that I picked up in these tests.
4. Purchased the Manhattan Advanced Quant guide but didn’t get the chance to go through this.
5. Gave GMATPREP’s 1, 2, 3, and 4. Scored Q48, Q48, Q45 and Q49 in them respectively. In the retakes of these exams I scored Q50 twice.
On test day, I chose Quant-Verbal-IR-AWA ordering. Prior to the test, I wasn’t nervous, but as soon as the first Quant question rolled in, my mind went blank. It was a really easy 500 level question which I’m quite sure I got wrong just due to nerves. After the third question, I got into the groove and left the nerves behind. But I only got easy questions from there on. Finished the Quant section with 4 minutes to spare.
Based on what I wrote above, it appears to me that my caliber is around Q48-49 in Quant and my nerves got the best of me on test day. My target score is Q50 in my second attempt. I am really not sure what to do in this one month to pull up my Quant score as I really did everything I could in my first attempt.
One plan of action is to go through the Manhattan Guides again and then attack topic-wise questions from the GMATClub Quant database. But I’m not entirely sure whether I need to go through the Manhattan guides again?
Any advice on how to proceed in my second attempt? Very confused right now!
Thanks very much.

Hi!
Congratulations on the score. I guess you don't have challenges that generally people face and the challenges that you do have is easily resolvable.
To start with first analyse chapter by chapter, what are your weak areas? What areas take you most time to solve?
Once you have narrowed down the chapters, dive little deeper to concept and question levels. Figure out which concepts trouble you the most? You can also relook into the type of questions which seems really unpleasant to your head.
Once done with your analysis, the most important thing is to PRACTICE. Everyday start solving questions from the problematic areas. More ye practice, better the score.
Also, what did you do for verbal? If you could give me some suggestions it will be really great.
Cheers!

In my experience Gmat is all about how you think under exam conditions. To think quickly and well you need to have solid basics. Do simple and average sums and see through what they are trying to check. Basically improve clarity with quant areas.
