Hi everyone,
Can anyone recommend good resources to improve the Quant score from 162 to 165+?
To give you more background: I wrote PPP1 today and got 162 in the Quant section: half of the mistakes I did were careless ones. Need to say that I struggled a bit with time management in the 2nd section (I got a hard one). I didn’t have enough time to properly check my work, and that resulted in sloppy errors.
I was preparing for the GRE for quite some time already and have done all Official ETS materials, 5lb, and Manhattan series books, PP1, PP2 tests (that was some time ago when my score was below 160).
I’m right now preparing the schedule for the next month and planning to include the Old Big book, together with class recordings from Greg (with a special focus on my weak areas). Any other tips?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe solve a little bit of GMAT but frankly speaking if you’ve done the whole ETS material(this must be around 300-400 question) + Manhattan 5lb(1800 questions) + some official test then its time for some reflection . You really need to re-visit old problems and find your loopholes . Throwing yourself some more problems isn’t gonna do anything other than draining you. If you maintained an error log then it’s a good time to review it thoroughly otherwise start maintaining one and be very specific about it .

Thank you very much for the piece of advice.
Imao what is lowering my score - lack of proofreading/double-checking my work due to the time pressure. Maybe because I am not super comfortable with some topics or because I can’t see the shortcuts immediately, I spend more time than necessary on certain questions…
I have an error log but it is somewhat messy. I think I will have to make it more specific and organized.
Totally agree that revision + finding & fixing loopholes should be my focus for the next month.
Yeah I second using GMAT as a way to really make sure your math fundamentals are sound
