How do i maximize my quant score?

by shreerajp99 » Tue Dec 25, 2012 4:29 am
Hi All,
My exam is on 28th.I just gave set of 37 medium/hard questions(didn't select the easy ones) from Gmatprep question pack 1 and scored just 25/37 :( in 75 mins
I felt the questions were quite tough and there were 2 questions where i made careless mistakes.
Can u plz tell me how should i maximize my score,now that only 2 days are left for my exam.
Also,ive not given a full CAT since last 3 weeks(gave kaplan cat and scored only 610 in it).

Thanks,
Shreeraj

25/37 doesn't really tell you much about your current quant skills. Were the 12 questions you got wrong 600-level questions or 750-level?
I suggest that you take a free official GMATPrep test (https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx) to better gauge your readiness.

Cheers,

Just came back form test center.Scored a meagre 630(Q39,V37)
Score is heavily skewed and the ironical part is i felt like i was doing well in quant. Plz suggest to me how can i improve my quant score.I was in control of quant till around 28th question and then got stuck in a exponents question.However,i faced around 3 combinations and around 2 probability questions and thus thought i am doing well but alas it wasnt to be
I was getting most of the questions correct in quant but i am sure that was just my illusion.I finally guessed around 3 questions in quant since i was running out of time.
Plz suggest how do i improve my quant score within 1 month by around 10 points since i need to apply for fall 2013.
Should i apply with this poor score to any of the colleges or take the exam within a month's time?
Do u think my score can improve drastically by around 10 points in quant in such a short span of time?

Thanks,
Shreeraj
