How to prepare Quantitative Methods for your test
Work one topic at a time, not the whole subject. Reading Quantitative Methods end to end feels productive and is the slowest way to raise a score. Pick a single topic, solve its MCQs until you are consistently above 80 percent, and only then move on. There are 12 to get through.
Read the explanation on every question you get wrong. This is the whole reason to practise online rather than from an answer key. A wrong answer is only useful if it tells you which fact you were missing, so every Quantitative Methods MCQ here carries a written explanation and no question can be published without one.
Start where the marks are. Basic Mathematics: Fractions, Percentages, Ratios and Indices, Correlation and Regression and Data Collection and Presentation carry the most Quantitative Methods material in the bank. A weak topic near the top of the table above costs you more marks than a weak one near the bottom, so the order you revise in matters as much as the hours you put in.
Finish with mixed, timed practice. Recalling a fact under the clock is a different skill from recognising it while you revise, and it is the one the paper actually tests. Once several topics feel solid, sit a timed test that mixes them rather than practising one topic at a time.
