How can I score good marks in Quant?

Hi Nazish, Strategies are not planned overnight or implemented directly in the exam. Strategies are to be tested first. Then apply the best ones. Try to experiment with as many strategies as possible. This will help you discover your weak areas and strong areas. Thus, you can calculate how much time to devote on each section. Let us now consider what will help you in maximising your score in the Quant section: Building strong fundamentals in various topics I suggest that you do not leave any topic and prepare for all topics, since easy questions may get asked from any topic. Practicing regularly under time pressure While it is important to know how to solve the questions, it is equally important that you learn to solve them in the least possible time. Scanning and selection of questions It is critical that you read all the questions to identify the ones you feel you can solve in the least amount of time – you may fix a time limit of about 2-2.5 minutes per question. Leaving out questions Some students become nervous if the first 2-3 questions appear difficult. Please remember that only a handful of students will be able to successfully attempt almost all the questions in this section. So, even if you attempt about 20 questions, it may fetch you a good score and percentile. Time management Since 30 questions have to be attempted in 70 minutes, time management becomes critical. <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/cracking-quant-section-in-cat-article-5356-1" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/cracking-quant-section-in-cat-article-5356-1</a> <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/cat-prep-quantitative-aptitude-qa-solved-questions-article-6569-1" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/cat-prep-quantitative-aptitude-qa-solved-questions-article-6569-1</a> <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/cat-2014-last-minute-tips-for-lr-di-and-quant-sections-article-9369-1" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/cat-2014-last-minute-tips-for-lr-di-and-quant-sections-article-9369-1</a> <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/cat-prep-2014-time-management-in-quantitative-ability-and-data-interpretation-article-9095-1" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/cat-prep-2014-time-management-in-quantitative-ability-and-data-interpretation-article-9095-1</a> Hope it helps.
