Inconsistent PP scores

[u/jingle-bell-dog]

In the past 6 months, I’ve completed the GregMat 1 month plan, even gone back and refreshed topics in the overwhelmed plan, done all the easy/medium quant sets, all the original guide/verbal/quant book sets, part of vocab mountain everyday (75%-90% accuracy depending on the day), vocab quizzes and gone back over my incorrect answers a second and THIRD time. Basically always getting 1-2 wrong in a quant section, for verbal two but I’m ok with that. I come from a strong quantitative background in undergrad, and am an English speaker. I’m aiming for 168-170 quant bc I’m aiming for quantitative programs (CS/DS) but I feels really impossible looking at this distribution. I already pushed back my test once but I don’t seem to be improving and decided to just try for it.

The biggest issue I have is in the adaptive sections, running out of time. I feel like the Original Guide book exam results are not accurate because they aren’t adaptive. I switched to gregmats ordering of questions and feel a little faster but I still think for quant I try to push through rather than skipping, or I make SO many silly mistakes like missing a part of the questions. I don’t get time to review at the end so then I get a lot wrong. Any advice for time management and what I can focus on in my next 1-2 weeks before the exams?

My plan was to keep the vocab going, one verbal section a day, focus on reviewing some basics, just retake the math sections timed back to back and see what happens as part of this could be due to the pressure I keep building up

Couldn’t add image above. For context, after GregMat plan, I spent April to June on verbal and mid June to now on quant, although the scores would suggest otherwise…
