I think the first step is practicing your weakest concepts and formulas. If time is an issue, that is what you need to work on. While two weeks is a very short time, that too for math. if you give your full focus and time, you might experience a drastic change.

A score from 141 to 165 in 2 weeks is impossiple even with 2 months.This will take somewhere around 6-10 months more realistically. If you scored a 141 then it means you have not done math since high school or even middle school and needs severe refinement. You need to review all the formulas possible provided in high school.This means literally going back to your high school Trig,Geometry and Pre calc courses and learning all the lessons again.

Re: How to increase my Quant score of 141 to 165 in 2 weeks? [#permalink]
I am working on my high school math these days. Is there anything else I should highly consider to get 165? I have maximum two months time.

Thank you.

There is no way around it.There are all these promises that you will get a 330 in 1 month is simply vastly unrealistic in most cases.Yes you can improve but the amount of time it takes is much greater people than people like to think . My undergrad degree is in math and computer science. My math scores not only improve faster but I can score higher as well and I think I can score a perfect quant in 2-3 months(Discrete math,variable assignment,Probability,counting,linear programming are skills I have obtained from my undergrad and makes the quant much easier).However,my reading is atrocious at 144 and might requires a minimum of 6-8 months to see any changes at all. The same goes for quant too if their skill is not that high. You might see a jump from 141 to 155 if you put 4-5 hours a day for 2 months but not 141 to 165 without some prior knowledge of a mathematical undergrad

Does this mean I should not plan for the fall semester?

This is what most people do in my opinion. They really work hard and get into the grad school.

Avoid repeating the same mistake by logging everything. Plus when you log the test results, analyze it and try to obtain an insight about your probable mistakes and their cause.

if that is your only test to take then take it.But if you can extend for a later test please do so.You will do better and you will can spread your study more evenly and at lighter schedules

Error log is proving useful, but might be killed by new questions that never appear on the exam
