Low Quant Please advice

[gracefulanubhuti]

Hi Team,

Need help. yesterday, I gave my MGMAT CAT -1 Exam and scored Q40 :( very less is what I feel. I am aiming at least Q48.
After initial review of my cat, I found that
out of 37 questions - 17 wrong 20 right. (All 700-800 were wrong)

Level Wrong Silly Mistakes/overlook
---------------------------------------
500-600 7 6
600-700 6 1
700-800 4 0
--------------------
Total 17 7

Remaining 10 I have to revisit the concepts and need to do a bit practice.

Now my question is do we need to solve anything else (other than OG13/Quant review) OR
All 5 MGMAT guides + OG13 + Quant review + 6 MGMAT cat Questions are enough to achieve Q48 - Q49.(Assuming I have good grip on Quant and I will revisit all the CAT error questions).
Please suggest, my exam is on 12th October.

Are you asking me whether you can use just OG or whether you need the other stuff, too? You're not going to get there using just OG - those books don't teach you how to get better.

Some of our students have achieved 50 and 51 using the full set of those materials you listed! So, yes, those are enough. (They don't guarantee a certain score, of course.)

Your biggest issue is those careless mistakes - you already know how to get those questions right! Plus, they are mostly lower-level questions. Getting those wrong hurts your score far more than getting 700+ questions wrong.

Fix that low-hanging fruit first. Then you can try to lift yourself even higher.

Next, did timing factor into those careless errors? Probably. Analyze your test using this:

If you discover that you do have timing problems (about 98% of people do!), get yourself into this overall mindset:

And then use this to help you with the nitty-gritty timing and decision-making:

Finally, this article is a really good resource in terms of how to study and analyze problems to learn from them:
