Devastated about the maths

I have taken the Gmat for 3 times, I know I have rushed things a little bit as I was trying to catch up the 1st round deadlines and then the 2nd and then now, I will have to put off my application to next year or maybe some programs that starts in Jan.

I have used the Manhattan Gmat strategy guides and I found them very useful. e.g. my verbal score jumped from 42 percentile in the 1st time to 80 percentile in the 3rd time. However, my quants dropped quite a lot! I am always good at calculation but my quants scored dropped all the way in my 3 attempts! In my most recent attempt, there were surprisingly a number of questions that I was confident and knew how to solve the questions but it turned out I couldn't come up with any of the 5 choices provided! So I conclude that I must have been ridiculously wrong. But how come? Has anyone had the same situation as me? please advice how to improve the quants thanks!

You do not really say how you have studied!

If you just glanced at material without learning technique and practicing on questions and exams that are on the proper level, this may account for your performance. I do not want to be presumptuous though. There is no reason for a student who puts in the proper work with the proper material, to fall in the quantitative section (especially the quantitative section). You have done very well in the Verbal (nice jump) but again, without seeing how you work, understanding your work method, or knowing where your weaknesses and strengths are, it is difficult to diagnose what is going on.

I think you will need to be very very systematic in your approach, meaning, I believe you will have to start from the ground up - I don't mean learning maths from the basics but learning GMAT maths from the basics in a more personalized manner. Obviously something is going on and maybe you simply need a better curriculum, one that addresses only your needs. In essence, the knowledge gaps which you seem to have, need to be dealt with. Once you internalize the techniques and learn to avoid the traps, it will be very important to be able to deal with the highest level Quant questions. But first the proper lessons!
