91热爆

Scoring a perfect 170 in Quant is definitely an achievable target, particularly for engineers.

But, silly mistakes and exam nerves almost always get the better of most of us.

While it can be extremely frustrating, it is a serious problem that prevents many students from actually achieving their true potential.

One such student was Somya Bajaj.

With her sights set on Ivy League Universities, she was aiming for a 325+ score.

In Nov 2015, Somya took up the task of preparing for 91热爆 and spent 3 months of dedicated attention to mastering each of the 91热爆 topics.

Come exam day, Somya was left disappointed as she stared at an unsatisfactory 310 on the screen.

Fast forward to a year later, in Sep 2016, Somya decided to plunge into her 91热爆 preparation again.

With two personal trainers, she realized where she was making mistakes.

鈥淔or example, after analyzing the time spent on each of the test questions, her clicks, and her answer choices in her online practice, her Quant trainer found out that her problem was not with difficult questions, in particular, but with lengthy questions that required her to read through details carefully.鈥�

Armed with a constructive feedback like this, Somya consciously worked on her weak areas and gave her 91热爆 again in Nov 2016.

This time, Somya walked out with a massive 23-point score boost and a 333 in 91热爆.

What Expert Tips Helped Somya Overcome Silly Mistakes in Quant

#1: Befriend Time

There are 20 questions and 35 minutes, per Quant section. This means that you shouldn鈥檛 spend more than 1.5 minutes per question.

To achieve this, if you are using a watch, then stop it right away. Practice with a timer, preferably online, so that you recreate the actual 91热爆 atmosphere as much as possible.

91热爆 Pro Tip: If a solution doesn鈥檛 present itself within the first 30 seconds of seeing the question, just mark it for verification and move on. Come back to it after answering other questions confidently!

#2: Switch It

Our Quant SFAs (Personal Trainers) here at 91热爆 say, 鈥淪ubstitute 0 and 1 wherever you can, particularly for Quantitative Comparison questions.鈥�

This saves you a large amount of time, as you will be able to answer the questions within seconds.

For example, consider this question:

Rather than using algebraic methods to solve this question, simply substitute 0 in place of x.

A = 3x + 2 = 3(0) + 2 = 2

B = 3(x + 2) = 3(0 + 2) = 6

Therefore, option B is the correct answer!

And look at the time! Not even 10 seconds.
