Couple of things that jump out at me:

1. What book are you using for math strategy/concepts? - I did not see any. I would not touch any questions before covering all the concepts. By the way, solving gmat questions is practicing, not studying.
2. What practice tests are you using besides gmatprep?

By the way, go through OG's at the end, not beginning.

Kaplan - those are usually 100 points below your real gmat score, so don't get too concerned if you score 600.

Thanks for all of your responses!

For math, I did not use any books besides the OG and Quant Review. My math foundation was pretty solid when I first started studying, I just needed to brush the rust off topics that I never used, such as exponents and roots.

I took the MGMAT Practice test, Kaplan, and GMATPrep.


Gonna take a break on Monday, like I said, and practice AWA. I should be fine with this section because I got a 6.0 on both essays the first time I took it. Just gonna review the basics and do a little practice runs. I'm gonna mostly relax and lightly study some idioms and flash cards.

I plan to get a good night's rest on Sun and Mon to be prepared for the test on Tues!!!

Please tell me what you think.

You still sound as though you are cramming and not fully "ready" - that may be just an impression, so feel free to dismiss.
One keyword I look for usually, is the error log or mistake analysis - maybe good to focus here in the last week or two.

If your test is on Tue, take 1 practice test on Monday (at the same time as your real test) and then take the rest of your day off. Possibly review a few notes here and there but spend it doing what you like - enjoy it! Then go to the test fully prepared.

Best if you have a GMATPrep test saved. PowerPrep will work too if you have not gone through those questions elsewhere.
If not, then anything will do.

Do the whole thing, including the AWA.

Cool.

I seem to be getting the same questions wrong as I did before when reviewing my error log... It only applies to the 600-700+ questions though. Not sure what I should do at this point.

But, the good news is, I feel confident when faced with any SC question! I get pretty much all of them right, unless its super tricky or I rush through it without reading it all.

Right now I'm just going over the questions I missed from my error log. Should I continue doing this or attempt to practice the less common problems, such as combination and geometry?

You have a limited amount of time, so you should focus on the areas that will have the greatest return.
Combinations and Coordinate Geometry may not be a good investment as you may not get any on your test... (I did not see any on mine, just one measly probability question), so I would focus on your weak areas and fundamentals if there are still holes.
