Improving GRE Quant Score

Hi,
I recently took the GRE and received a Quant of 150 and verbal 145. I dont care much for verbal but my quant score is obviously too low to be competitive for the MSCS programs that I am interested in. I do not have the slightest clue on how to prep for this exam given the material I've been using has not helped in the slightest. I have taken 6 mock Tests, before the actual GRE, kindly see my mock scores below.
PowerPrep Free Quant 154, Verbal 138
PowerPrep Free Quant 154, 150 Verbal
PowerPrepPlus1 Quant 152, 147 Verbal
PowerPrepPlus2 Quant 152, 147 Verbal
PowerPrepPlus3 Quant 152, 142 Verbal
Kaplan Test Quant 158 Verbal 150
Actual GRE Quant 150 Verbal 145
So, Ive been studying since July of 2021. I have used 90% of the Manhattan Prep 500lb book, only quant. Been through all the problems in the OG GRE Quant and OG GRE Verbal. Been through nearly all the problems of the Big OG GRE ETS which contains both sections and 2 practice tests. Even did over 50 problems on this GRE Discussion forum. In addition, did over 100 of Greg Matt's GRE Quant Problems as well. Im beginning to believe that this test is impossible and is honestly dependent on a significant game of luck. Clearly hard work isnt the answer here, unless I'm missing something. I am literally out of ideas. If anyone can provide an idea on how to raise that quant score to at least 160. I am all ears. Also, I wasnt nervous during the exam or even exhausted by the end. In fact I had the energy to take another exam if need be, so clearly stamina is not the problem.

Hey,
You have come to the right place. Your quant score shows that there is a lack of fundamentals. I would suggest you go through this MATH Book and start practicing easy-medium questions from the forum. When you start touching 85-90% accuracy, then move to the hard ones. And don't forget to analyze the wrong ones.
Go topic by topic. Only then you will see improvements rather than solving 50 at a time.
You will definitely cross 160 with this approach. Wander across this forum. We have everything you need to go Q170.
Check this out as well: https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-quant ... tml#p69488
Please let us know if anything else is required.
