Have my GRE in 20 days. Pls suggest how to improve my Quants score from 159 to 165

GRE General
1

I gave Power Prep 1 and 2 (ETS Two free mock tests - timed ones) and got 159 in quants in both. So far, I have done the following for quants:

  1. Manhattan 5lb
  2. Magoosh classes
  3. Greg’s two months plan - saw each and every lecture. Did all the homework for maths.
  4. OG
  5. Quants ETS review
  6. Big Book 27 quants section - entire
  7. Princeton classes

I have my exam in 20 days from now.

Can anyone suggest what should I be doing to improve my quants score from 159 to 165?

Shall I do - Greg’s problem solving -quants part? If yes, Shall I do Medium of Hard or Both?

I have 8 hours daily study time for quants. Pls help

Do whatever you like but give yourself time to review what you’ve have done .

What’s your pain points? Did time run out? Are you having issue with a perticular topics of problems? For example i have 3 :-

  1. Getting overconfident and ignoring the negetive case
  2. Time management, some easy Questions are taking more time.
  3. Stats - graph and data analysis.

Find yours and try to find the solution that best suits your capability and time frame of 20 days. Good luck

On that note, I’m going through my quant books and redoing the problems I got incorrect the first time due to a lack of foundation or the problem being a difficult one. Apart from that, just reviewing quant concepts on a daily basis. Would you like to add anything else?

Context: My PP1, OG 1, OG 2 and PP2 quant scores were 152, 165, 165 and 161 respectively, but maybe the last one is a better representation since I was mildly exposed to some of the OG questions.

There is something called as terminal limit. You can’t improve drastically at 165. For each one ponts you need to be very careful. I am going through the same problem right now. Just some silly point i know but tend to forget at that moment. It’s not impossible but if you are getting 165 in Q maybe focus on verbal and if you’re getting 160+ in verbal for STEM, just move on. There are more thing to worry about than gre score in your application profile.
