I think you are on the right track - you have good books (don't use PR and don't worry about that score) - start familiarizing yourself with the test patterns more and more. Use quality books such as Manhattan. There are also a few good threads to review:

When do you aim to take the GMAT again? One month from now? Two, three, four months from now? Pardon me if I missed it in your post but have you thoroughly gone through ALL of the GMAT Challenges (25 math and 6 verbal)? Look, Target760, it's pretty obvious to me that you have things stacked in your favor. (1) You're driven and (2) you have the ability. What is killing you though is your lack of confidence. Never take the power of attitude for granted. You alluded to the fact that you are naturally quantitative and what I have noticed in life is that it is these type of people who as long as their attitude is right can do exceptional well on standardized tests (verbal parts included).

Now there really is something to be said for knowing down cold the concepts tested in those challenges. Take my advice and work and rework the GMAT Challenges and then EXPAND on the concepts. It's obvious that you have the ability to do well on the GMAT. Get your confidence up. Good luck.
