I have taken several full length CAT's and so far my verbal score is consistently going up on each test, scoring a V38 on the last one I took. My quant score on the other hand has gone down about 2 points each time, and on the last one it was a miserable Q26.
My target score is between 630 and 650, and I realized if i can maintain my Verbal score, and just get my quant up to just the 50th percentile (which I believe is a Q40) then I will be at my goal.
I think there is some fundamental error in my approach, because a Q40 really shouldn't be too difficult to attain.
I think that I have been trying to do too much "math" and not enough reasoning on the quant, so if anyone has great strategies for approaching the problems I would much appreciate it.
So far my approach has been spending about 1 hour every weekday and 4-5 hours on weekends, I study from a book (i signed up for a course with Princeton review) and then do practice questions relevant to what I read in the book. I haven't really watched many videos. It seems like learning strategies (ballparking, plugging in numbers or answers, etc.) have had the greatest impact and been by far the most helpful for me.
I plan to take the real GMAT in 1 month.

Can you also talk about what materials for both verbal and quant have you used , how have you studied till now (book heavy approach, online videos etc) so that the experts can take all things into consideration while providing you various tips and strategies.
As for quant, you can check out GMATCLUB's math book at gmat-math-book-in-downloadable-pdf-format-130609.html
Various problems types have been categorized as "tags" at viewforumtags.php
Feel free to search for a question and then even post a new question (that has not been discussed before) and the experts will reply to your questions.
