I just took my GMAT and scored a 680 (Q42, V41). I am not displeased with my score as I am a 31 year old non traditional who has done self-study. I am a Native Speaker and the verbal was lower than most of my practice exams (think I messed up the timing toward the end). But I also know I'm capable of a 700+. My last 2 practice exams were 740 and 710. I'm in MENSA so I've got the IQ for it - not bragging at all. I clearly know that I'm rusty from being out of school a long LONG time (and I wasn't a math major). I'm excellent at calculations but I'm definitely in need of some more theory - especially number properties. And I struggle with data sufficiency and figuring out exactly what their asking.
I would like to re-take the test in 4-6 weeks. I think the biggest thing I need is actual input from someone on my strength's and weaknesses. I love GMATClub but I need an expert in quant to look over what I'm good at and what I need work on, help me think through how to get the most bang for my buck in the next month or so of study.
How I prepared for my exam:
Went through OG Guide Problems (can do most quickly and easily)
Went through most of the Manhattan books (not religiously but most of them)
Magoosh - loved this service. Great short videos but no actual interaction. They were awesome on e-mail, though. Highly recommend.
Where to go from here? I don't need to start back at square one (I don't think) and take an entire class (Knewton, Manhattan, etc). I need a sort of "Finishing School" - the help to go up to a 720 or higher.
Are there tutoring options available for 5-10 sessions? I don't have a huge amount of money to throw at this but I think a few sessions with a tutor would me immensely valuable.
Any suggestions? I'm targeting Duke's full-time program as I'm headed toward brand management (coming from non-profit background).

Hey,
One thing that I could tell you is that, if you got IQ and reasoning skills, GMAT quant shouldn't be any problem. You may actually not need a tutor, but probably only a refresher course in GMAT maths or a little practice.
For any help you could always ping anyone on GMATCLUB; if its any particular area I could help with that..
Vips...
