Hi buddies,

I am at the begining of the final part of my preparation in the quant section. I almost have reviewed very deeply every topic evaluated by the GMAT. My preparation material is basically the Jeff Sackmanns's problems (fundamental and challenge problems), the OG 13th edition, and Beat the Gmat questions.
However, I have a doubt:

I don't know whether should I focus too much in difficult or very difficult questions (let's say 650+ and 700 level). I don't want to waste my time in questions that I probably won't see in the real GMAT; I would prefer to pay more attention in the Verbal section. For example, when I practice the LAST quant problems of the OG, they are easy for me, except for some of them, but in general not so difficult.

Some time ago, I have read that you don't have to solve every extreme difficult question in the GMAT in order to get a great score. My desired score in quant is 50.

Please, help me with this doubt. Thanks!

I did two simulations with GMATPrep which showed the same thing: if you get wrong the 6 hardest questions on the exam, you still end up with a quant score of 50.

The problem is, you will have to solve all the other questions right. The best strategy would be to be careful not to make mistakes on questions below your level and to shortcut by guessing questions that you estimate to be extremely tough, targeting score 51.

You should definitely give this a test run with GMATPrep and see if it works for you. The problem with many test-takers is that they can't solve all easy questions without random mistakes i.e. they lack accuracy.
