When can I start Quant Strategy in 1 Month Plan

Hi.
I wanted to get some advice on my situation.
I’m doing the 1 month plan, I only have upto 3 hours of dedicated study time every day and I know that an avg of 4-6 hours is required for someone to successfully follow the plan with all required activities. I’m falling behind. I should be on Week 2 Day 6 and am 3 days behind already. (my test is 2.5 weeks from now, 9th May 2025)
Specifically, going through the Quant Fundamentals section (prepswift) is proving difficult since I already have a suboptimal quant foundation and need to do all sections on Prepswift (with Tickbox quizzes) atleast twice to get a grip on the foundations.
If I continue along this path, I may need the whole of the final 4th week for foundation as well and I may not have any time left for studying and practicing quant strategies.
My previous quant score was 150 and I’m aiming for atleast a 7-10 point increase.
Is it possible to get such a score increase with minimal understanding of quant strategies, only relying on quant fundamentals? Or do I need to increase the amount of time I’m studying right now for fundamentals and it would be necessary for me to have a week of quant strategy for my score goal?

Alternatively, are there any super important quant strategies (2-4 of them) that would do the job for me if I study them and am able to perform well in them?
Thank you!

Finally, do you think strategically prioritizing some quant subjects (maybe leaving coordinate geometry and probability/combinatorics for the end) might also prove useful?

PLease help
Thanks!

the most important quant strategies are choosing numbers, making deductions, backsolving, and the QC strategies. You need to drill each on many questions to become proficient. I would aim to cover all the quant subjects as best you can since foundation is paramount.

Ultimately yes, you will need more time most likely.

Thank you so much Vince. This was really helpful. I am working through the strategy part. I won’t be able to cover everything because my test is day after tomorrow, but I’ve heeded your advice and am working on these strategies.
Hoping for the best for test day :slight_smile:
