I know where my weaknesses are. How do I improve?

GRE Quant Problem Solving
1

So this will be my second time sitting for the GRE, and after doing the 2 months plan, I am confident my conceptual understanding has improved vastly since my last test. I scored 157 in my last test and expected I would score better this time. But even now, with every practice test, I am not scoring higher than 158/159 - I am mostly making silly mistakes/ reading mistakes and having time management issues.
There are also a few topics which I am making these mistakes in. Any advice on how I can improve at this front? I feel like I could really score higher if I could just overcome these two issues.

1- DO NOT TRUST YOUR EYES! Read again and again. Remember ETS question designers get paid to trick you!
2- If most of your mistakes are QC, use equal not equal method or use more numbers to test your work.
2- Use a calculator. Don’t do mental math for your test.

Reminds me, I had the calculator floating on my screen the whole time during my test :joy:

Thanks @Meynoush for the tip!
Any additional tip on how I can strengthen my weakness on specific topics? i.e, what kind of materials should I go through or what kind of practice I should do to overcome these?

I would say stay with GregMat and just keep practicing official resources and then Manhattan’s books.
