Achieved a GMAT Focus Edition score of Q70/V82/DI77, resulting in a very disappointing overall quant performance. I started the section poorly, missing the first seven questions, but recovered to answer questions 8 through 21 correctly. I've struggled with math since elementary school. Beyond the fundamentals of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, I've found it very difficult to understand any subsequent math topics. I barely pass all my math topics my whole academic life. The only math topic that I somewhat excel at Statistics. On the positive side, V82 is a personal best (my highest for a practice test is 81), and DI77 is strong (within my practice range of 71-79). Overall, a 535 score.

As far as learning/improving your quant skills goes, my biggest piece of advice is to ensure you are studying in a topical way. In other words, be sure you are focusing on just ONE quant topic at a time and practicing just that topic until you achieve mastery. If you can study that way, I’m sure you will see improvement.
For example, let's say you are studying Number Properties. First, learn all you can about that topic, and then practice only Number Property questions. After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, 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? Did you fall for a trap answer? If so, what was the nature of the trap, and how can you avoid similar traps in the future?
By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.
