I've gone through all the MGMAT guides, and feel like I have the basics down for the quantitative section. Unfortunately, I feel like I've hit a wall in regards to improving my Q score. I took three MGMAT tests and made 48, 47, and 46. I tried the free GMAT club math test (#25 I think), and didn't do real good on it. Using GMATPrep, I'm right around 44-49.
I am trying to save using GMAT Prep to right before the test. I like it, because it probably gives you the most similar to actual current questions and an accurate prediction of how you will do on the test. I don't like it, because there are no explanations given when you review.
MGMAT CATs seem pretty good. The questions seem similar in type and difficulty to GMATPrep, but I've only got 3 left. The explanations are excellent, and help me understand how to correct my errors.
Based on someone's suggestion, I worked the last 50 problems in OG 12. I did the last 50 in PS today, and missed 4 total. It seems like the questions aren't difficult enough. I worked through them all at least once before, so that may be part of the problem. Using the MGMAT OG Companion makes it easy to understand what you did wrong in the problems you missed. I plan on working the last 50 DS in the next day or two. I also have the Official Quant Guide 2nd edition, but the problems seem way too easy. Is OG even considered a good source for getting a high score?
I've only done one of Gmat Club Math test, but something seemed off about it. The problems seemed "different," and a LOT harder! I got to thinking, maybe it is because it is not CAT format, but rather just all hard questions.
I plan on doing the other 3 MGMAT tests, and maybe some of their additional problems for the sections I score low in. After that, I'm not sure what I will use for preparation material. Does anyone have a suggestion of how I should proceed from this point?

The quant OG is probably organized in increasing order of difficulty just like the verbal one. So you will most likely find the initial lot quite easy, esp if your quant scores are in the 47-49 region already. While it is good to practice harder and harder questions, I think to get from a q48 to a q51, what is more important is take your error rate down to 0. Spend more time per question (force yourself to do this almost) and make sure that if you take up say 30 problems from OG you are not making more than one mistake.
The mistake on a 600 level problem is more costly than a 700+ level problem on a CAT. And keep taking the MGMAT tests with the same target in mind, maximize time used but try not to commit silly errors. It took me five MGMAT CATs to finally get 37 on 37 correct in a test.

Wow, 37/37 right! Impressive 
I think you are right about cutting down (or eliminating my silly errors) at this point. I'm trying to force myself to go back and read the question after completing my work and before answering. This helps make sure I'm answering the right question. I just get anxious, because I worry about time running out.
