I've been having some difficulties scoring well in my Quant practice problem sets. My hit % is between 60-80% on both PS and DS, with over 50% of my misses due to careless errors. I'm hoping that with 7 weeks of training ahead of me, I can get this section shored up. But, does anybody have any quick tips to avoid careless errors?

Thanks!

There are couple of things to keep in mind for accuracy:

1 Make sure that you get the concepts correct. Identify areas where you make mistakes and strengthen your knowledge in that area

2. In the initial stages of the prep, your focus should be on accuracy rather than timing. Spend as much time you want to solve the questions. Slow down and attempt the questions. Once you develop accuracy you can start to focus on the timing.

3. Identify the question types and avoid the frequently made mistakes. DS can be very tricky in its questions.

With regular practice and training you should be able to improve. Wish you good luck.
