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.

I was trying to get faster and found this link. I loved how fas it can be for us to multiply by 13!
1. The technique, as a matter of fact, is so ridiculously simple that you can’t help but wonder why no one taught you this trick when you were a child. Then again, I’m speaking for myself here, because nobody actually taught me how to memorize the 13 times table this way, either.
The trick involves writing down the times table for the number 3 as follows:
Multiplier Result (3 times table)
1 3
2 6
3 9
4 12
5 15
6 18
7 21
8 24
9 27
10 30
2. Are you with me so far? So what we have written down is basically
1 x 3 = 3
2 x 3 = 6
3 x 3 = 9
4 x 3 = 12
etc.
With that table done, you can easily derive the 13 times table. What you need to do is to combine both numbers you have written and you will get the 13 times table:
1 3 -> 13
2 6 -> 26
3 9 -> 39
So the multiplier becomes then tens and the 3 times table result becomes the unit.
For the next numbers, you simply need to add the 10s of the 3 times table result to the multiplier number:
So 4 12 becomes (4+1) 2 -> 5 2 -> 52. To check, 4 x 13 is indeed 52.
5 15 becomes (5+1) 5 -> 6 5 -> 65. And true enough, 5 x 13 is 65.
The 13 Times Table made easy
Here is the complete table, including the “trick” to help memorize your 13 times table – and yes, it works all the way up to 13 x 13 and beyond:

By the way, people, the in-house gmatclub guide has some interesting info regarding the numbers 1-12 (not that you may need to memorize them all!)

I do think that memorizing helps a lot: less mistakes and more time for you!
