Improving from a 160 to 165+ (168+ ideal) on quant? [diagnostic included]

I got a 160 on my most recent exam. I’m wondering how I can use this to identify gaps most usefully?

I know I ended up spending a fair amount of time on questions I got wrong - for example 04:17 on Geometry question #3 in the second section. Other than improving my geometry fundamentals what else would you recommand?

Related, can someone confirm that I got the “hard” as opposed to “medium” second quant section?

It looks like you missed 5/9 QC questions and missed 6/15 of the pure math questions, compared to missing only 2/12 real-life questions.

Since you only missed 3 in the first section and 11/15 of the questions in section 2 were level 4 or 5, (compared to section 1, which only had 3/12 lvl 4/5), I think it’s safe to say you got the hard section.

It is more than that. How good are your foundation? How good are your strategies?

Test 1: 25 out of 28
Test 2: 29 out of 31
Test 3: 29 out of 31
Test 4: 18 out of 20
Test 5: 18 out of 23
Test 6: 14 out of 20
Test 7: 27 out of 29
Test 8: 16 out of 19
Test 9: never completed (instead, 84.41% for “Geometry Foundation Exercises”)
Test 10: 28 out of 31
Test 11: never completed
Test 12: never completed
Test 13: 18 out of 22

Its hard to say how my strategies are.
Choosing Numbers - okay I guess.
Backsolving - weak
Simplifying / Manipulating - good
Equal/Not-equal - good
Pattern Recognition - weak.
Create Easier Example - okay

I wish I had a better way to describe this

The internal statistics I have suggest that your foundation is average (note that it isn’t definitive, but a good indication of where you stood when you took the quizzes).

If you already haven’t, please take one of the two “free” quant foundation quizzes at Quant Foundation Quizzes - GregMat and let me know your score. That is, either the set of the Google Forms quizzes or the Quizizz alternative. The path forward will depend on that.
