You have to revise basics and concepts. Focus on mocks and review mocks. Many instance, you may find that you missed answer by one or steps or minor mistakes. You should spend 2 to 3 hours for reviewing  quant part of every mock cat.

Getting a single digit score, signifies that you are in need of proper preparation and a structured approach to solving a questions in a limited time frame. I would suggest you to take up a trusted source, either a coaching or a coach, and spend time to see what are your strengths and weaknesses.
-Do not rush to solving questions.
-Sit in 30mkn slots and solve 10 questions.
-Aim to cover one new topic once in two days and start with elementary problems
-lastly, focus on getting a good accuracy somewhere close to 75%

Basically your concepts are not clear and if you will keep giving the test without analysing your performance in the test you won't be able to judge the level of preparation and on which scale you need improvements.



Analyze the paper very carefully (it usually take hours to analyze a paper thoroughly).



Do not just memorise formulae. Understand reasoning behind them and question them consistently. This should be followed by playing around with the concepts and formulaes to suit specific questions.



Even after a lot of practice if you are getting such low scores, maybe you are over doing questions that is ending with many negative markings due to wrong answers.



Hope this helps you.

Take mocks under strict time limits preferably in computer-based format. Try to simulate test environment and take it with all the sincerity. Resist any temptation to leave the test and try to not escape any difficult sections.

This is how you can betterment your preparation.

That's the thing I do. Give mocks in a computer based environment, try not to leave. I want to know how to analyse the mocks.

analysing means working upon those questions which made you score less or wrong so knowing to solve those questions and their technique is what analysing means.
