I am basically at the end of my prep journey and now finishing up my quant for that 167+ score.
So as the title suggests,I am basically looking for a SERIOUS and GENUINE study buddy with whom I can finish my quant prep.

In return, I can help with verbal (I am fairly good with RC, SE and TC) part of the reason because I had a group of studdy buddies with whom I used to practice verbal regularly and had to go through lots of discussion of why this and why not this kinda discussion, that kind of helped my initial verbal preparation. Now I am looking for somebody who is basically great at quant and somebody who needs help on verbal.

As for my quant, it is decent but not an area I feel 100% confident about, I still get thrown off by weird concepts sometimes (for example minimum-maximum numbers in overlapping sets, stupidly lengthy word problems {yes I know piece by piece strategy but still I can’t reliably do every word problems with 100% accuracy}) but I have completed all of prepswift and got 85% to 90% on foundational quizzes. Regularly going through quant mountain and error logs.
In my sectional mocks I am getting 10-11/12 and 12-13 out 15. My target is to go 167 and beyond (12/12 and 13+ out of 15). So I am looking for someone who is proficient in quant and mainly who is genuinely up for help as well. As for me I will try to provide as much as support as possible for the verbal section.

Things we will do together:

1. Do timed sections on the same set.
2. Discuss what went wrong and WHY went wrong, what concepts to be learned from there
3. Sharing of knowledge / tips / tricks.
4. Week by week basis shared goals.

I am a 26M and looking for somebody from my home country (Bangladesh) or surrounding ones such as India, Pakistan for easier communication but honestly geography / gender don’t matter as much as a genuinely driven person who can help and willingly wants to beat the sh#t out of GRE together lol. So please comment down.

As greg says, let’s bring it home!

As greg says, let’s bring it home.

I’ve been preparing for a long time now, got 90% on all the gregmat’s foundation quizzes and flashcard quizzes. After that I started doing sectional mocks from this month. The starting was good, got 12/12, 2 times. But after that I got 11/12 twice and now for the last 3 mocks getting 10/12. It’s not like I don’t know the maths literally every 12 questions were doable for each of the mock. However, something goes wrong such as “forgot to divide the area of a circle to get area of a half circle and thus chose the wrong option” or missed a single clue for a question.

Like I can tell these are “attention slips” or “behavioral issues”. How to solve them? I am continuously doing these things:

1. Redoing and reviewing missed questions such as what went wrong and how to avoid that.
2. Reviewing quant concepts deeply through quant mountain and flashcards each day.
3. Drilled down strategies such as choosing numbers, deducing from the given information, skipping around and solving the easy ones (zonef numbers on qc questions). Manipulating QC questions when x>0.
   Piece by piece on word problems, cancelling wrong option on multiple select questions etc that greg tells us to do.

At this point, I feel like 165 is close but may miss it due to this stupid execution issues.

Searched the entire sub for getting a sense of the general consensus of the quant questions from the big book. It feels like there is a mixed consensus, some says these are very easy, some says these are good practices for easy-medium questions.

I actually need some suggestions whether doing them would be beneficial to tackle easy to medium questions.

Since the first section of the modern gre has 12 questions and the difficulty level of these 12 questions vary from 1 to 4, will It help to do the quant questions from bigbook especially question no 11 to 15 and 26 to 30 since these ones were solved correctly by low percentages of people? Within a timed limit?

I have been coursing through them, I can see that few questions such as geometry ones are comparable to medium to hard level questions from the official guide.

My target is to have complete 100% accuracy and mastery over easy and medium questions so that I can hit 12/12.

I attempted 12 questions twice from the 27th test and got 12/12 twice in a timed manner. But I did find 1-2 problems worth revisiting again in the future.

Watched prepswift’s co-ordinate geometry module. Everything felt easy to absorb until the topics of graphing absolute values and quadratic within this came.

Really looking forward to some possible sources where these topics are explored more easily or broken down into more easier way.

Do anyone know some alternative sources that are “more easily digestible”?

If you had to compare the representativeness of the quant questions from gregmat and manhattan 5lb in comparison to the actual questions of the GRE, how close they are?

I have done Manhattan 5lb. Except for statistics chapter and geometry chapter I find rest of the chapter s quite easy. Is it really representative of the actual thing? Also how close are the questions from bigbook and gregmat?

I really need a fixed source to keep doing some problems while accumulating my mistakes.
