Students tend to avoid working on GMAT Focus quant question types that are especially problematic for them. However, these problematic question types represent powerful opportunities for improvement.One way to increase your quant score is to figure out what types of questions you do not want to see on test day, and work on those types until you hope to see them. Can you imagine what working on those question types will do for your score? Become a total expert at answering the types of quant questions you currently dread, and watch your score increase. What an amazing feeling it would be to walk into the GMAT Focus cool, calm, and confident because you knew that you were well-equipped to handle anything that came your way!

By focusing on getting stronger in your weaker areas, you can accomplish multiple things. One of them is getting more right answers to the types of questions on which you have been focusing. Another is freeing up more time to answer other questions, such as those that require more calculations. In other words, getting better at one type of question can give you more time to get right answers to other types. Since each right answer can drive your score up a point or two, getting better at one type has the potential to drive up your quant section score by two or three points, even if you see only one question of that type on the test.
