Hello,

Over the past couple of months, this forum has been extremely helpful for me to figure out study plans, tactics, materials, questions, etc. I have been consistently scoring 38 on Quant. I am confident that i can improve my score by another 10 points. I do get really nervous while taking the tests (don't know why!) While practicing, I am very comfortable in solving. I am able to solve the questions from OG. however, if I see a more complex question, I am unable to solve it in less than 2 mins. can you please suggest the materials that I can use to use to improve my Quant score? I am planning to take my GMAT during second week of October.

Materials I have for Quant are OG 13 & OG 12. OG Quant Review.

Thanks alot!

Hello Rich,

I too have been facing the same issue... being stuck in the 39-41 range.

It would be great if you can share the same email that you have sent to Krishna.

Thank you

To improve in math, I believe that you should compartmentalize your learning and take the time to master each topic (e.g., percents, ratios, exponents, statistics, etc.).

This means that, for each topic, you should:
1) Learn the underlying concepts (rules, attributes, notation, etc.)
2) Learn GMAT-specific strategies related to that topic
3) Practice dozens of questions all related to that one topic.
4) Don't stop working on that topic until you have mastered it
Then, and only then, move on to the next topic.

I also suggest that you spend a lot of time reviewing the responses from the Experts on this site. They model the steps one should take when tackling math problems.

Cheers,
Brent

Looks like this site is acting up. It just posted my response twice, so I removed the second one.

Cheers,
