Hi blk91stealth,

You could certainly take the GMAT in less than a month and hit your score goal. The issue now is whether you'll be able to 'hone' your skills enough on your own during that time with the resources that you have or if you'll need some new resources to help you.

In my prior post, I asked about the number of questions that you got wrong on your CATs because of silly/little mistakes. The answer to THAT questions is remarkably important - if you have the required knowledge to answer questions correctly, then you just need to slow down and do the necessary 'steps' to answer the questions correctly. However, if you honestly don't know how to approach the prompts, then you need a larger focus on the necessary content knowledge and Tactics to pick up those points.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I took the GMAT a few weeks ago and scored a 470, I need a 500 for my Target School.

I got a 29 on Verbal and 25 on Quantitative. I don't have much time to retest before the application deadline, what is the best way to try and raise my score by 30?

Should I focus on just Verbal or Quantitative or try and study both. If I wasn't on a deadline I would study everything, but I am just hoping to raise my score high enough to get a 500.

On the practice exams from GMAT Prep I scored a 490 & 520 before I took the actual test.

Looking at your scores, i would recommend you to study extensively for the Quants section.
At you level, it is easier to improve you score on the Quants sections.

In the next few weeks, go through the books/course material that you followed the last time and make sure you go through all the concepts.
In addition, you should also go back to all the questions that you got wrong the last time and revisit them, so that you do not make the same mistake again.

You can certainly reach your target score if you gain a few points in the quants section.
