Anybody else have thoughts, especially towards my math book question in the last post?

I know this probably isn't the answer you were looking for in terms of specificity but for math if you know the fundamentals of the concepts tested in quant you can do any quant problem provided you recognize the concept being tested. MGMAT is great for teaching the concepts of the test IMO (not sure how many of their books you have, but you obviously have one if you're taking MGMAT practice tests). Quant was my bigger challenge too and this fundamental focus helped me out a lot.

I feel like my math has gone up slightly (high twenties to an average of low thirties) but nowhere near enough for how much I've focused on it 75% versus about 25% of my time on Verbal. I consistently see success stories on the forums but they always seem to be for people who bump up their verbal whereas I'm fine with my verbal score (low to mid thirties). I think if I could bump up my math score, I could definitely see more of an improvement in my score.

From what I understand, given that the gmat test taking population is heavily leaned towards quants, having an additional points on the verbals will give you a higher overall score than the same number of additional points on quants. Scarcity gets more credit here.

I'm not saying don't focus on improving your quant, but perhaps give more than 25% your time to verbal.
