Have you boosted your quant score from 51 to 70? How?

I would suggest hitting the weak areas. Lets think of it as a tennis match. What can you do to improve your score drastically? For that you have to know your weakness.......is it your "backhand" ? ....in this case is it "probability" ? "rate problems" ....which areas take the longest ? ......once you know the weak area bringing your score down ...hit hard on it ....lets say you were scoring 50% in probability questions .....you identify it and work on it ....with 2 or 3 days of practice ..i am sure you will improve and take it to 80% ....thsi is a 30% improvement and will reflect in your final score .....working on a strong area will not help much at this point ...lets say you are scoring 90% on algebra ...the most improvement you can do is maybe 95% and that too would be tough because of the limited number of 700-800 level questions ....so I would say practice your weak areas and hit them hard .....48 to 50 jump will definitely happen


Oh and 1 more thing ....Timing !! ...the questions that eat your time out ...identify those ....even if you get them right, they are eating time of other questions thus they are the sneaky weaknesses ....identify them and improve their timing and that would help you tackle other questions with more time and ease ....


Oh and another thing ....try to FOCUS ....for me i use a Focus box ...it is just a box i make when I am solving the Quant questions to keep my focus on the end result ...lets say the question asked for (x-5) ...by putting this in the focus box when i arrive at my answer of x = 8 ...i will not jump and choose 8 as the answer ....i will go back to the focus box and choose x-5 = 8-5 =3 the right answer ....

I hope this helps .....these are just few of the tricks i use ...hopefully this helps you too Smile
