Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm hoping to get some help. I wrote the GMAT about 2 months ago with about 5 weeks of study time. I probably averaged 15 hrs (a week) for the first 4 weeks, and 4-5 hrs a day for the final week. Ended up with 620 (Q39,V35). I was pretty happy with my results, as I was getting 570-590 on the Kaplan prep tests and GMATprep.
I found out that I needed to re-write (for B-School purposes), and had 10 days to study. Spent 4 hrs/ day really focusing on my math (which i see as my main weak point). I did the GMAT Club diagnostic test and did very poorly. I went through all the wrong answers and tried to understand the mistakes. Spent the rest of the time working on GMATprep, and reviewing the wrong answers here on the board. Also spent some time in the OG and the GMAT quant review. Ended up with 590 on the GMATprep 1 (redo), and 650 on GMATprep 2.
I wrote again today, and ended up with a very disappointing 580 (Q33, V36). I felt like I had a breakdown on my basic math concepts.
I would appreciate whatever feedback i can get on building my score. I need to get 700, which i believe i should be able to achieve given my reasonable Verbal scores...
thanks in advance.

I am quants-challenged too. Though I have not made it to 700, I actually did not need it for my target programs, I found that Manhattan GMAT was a very helpful resource for raising my score on quantitative part of the test. Try to identify your weekest points in math by keeping an error log on your diagnostic/practice tests and then get selected or all books from their series on math. When you buy their books you also get access to a few CAT practice tests, and additionally a bank of practice questions on topics related to book titles. From this forum you can find that Manhattan GMAT is highly recommended by many test-takers. Another consideration: if you are not a math wiz and cannot crack quants on a fly, pay more attention to doing practice tests in as realistic manner as possible with focus on timing. I would assume you probably ran out of time on your math section because of taking more time to answer the questions. Other books that I also found more helpful in my preparation were Princeton Review Cracking GMAT series. Good luck on the next re-take.
