Fastest way to raise quant score?

by pscher31 » Sun Apr 21, 2013 3:32 am
Hey everyone,


I looking to increase my quant score a few points. I know on Verbal one of the easiest ways to increase your score is to become stronger in SC. Is there an equivalent for Quant?

Thanks!

There is a lot more to this question than a simple answer. Some of the more frequently tested areas are:

Factors and Multiples
Fractions
Exponents and Roots
Systems of Equations
Percents
Inequalities

I agree with Jim, although I'll add 2 more concepts to the list:
- Data Sufficiency strategies (crucial since 40% of questions are DS)
- Statistics

Also, to improve your score, it's important that you identify and strengthen your weak areas. One way to do this is to use an Error Log (aka Improvement Chart) while completing questions from the Official Guide (OG). You can find a free downloadable Improvement Chart here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-error-log

Cheers,
