Thanks for your post, mohater! I like the sound of 700+!!!
I have been browsing both debriefs and the math forum. (As you can see earlier, I did BETTER on my quantitative on GMATPREP2 with a 40V/42Q.)
Given how much I have prepared in the past week, I estimate that my quantitative level at this point, when I manage my time correctly, is somewhere between a 40 and a 43.
Let me explain what my problem was. I tried harder than I have ever tried before and triple-checked all of my work on the first 15 quantitative questions, but so much revision got me off-pace. This was also the first time I had had a 5-Hour Energy while testing, so I may have hyperfocused, i.e., done better on the first 15 than I normally would've but been so focused that I didn't pay attention to the time.
I can say with confidence that my primary problem with quantitative at this point is a LACK of confidence in my answers - especially on data sufficiency questions. I have to learn to just accept an answer and move on instead of wasting 3-4 minutes , since I don't trust myself, on every single DS question.
Can anybody attest to the efficacy of Guess-Solve-Guess-Solve-Guess-Solve when you are in a time crunch?

Check out the strategy in the books that you got. . The picking numbers and backsolving are some techniques you can use to save time. . Just go through all the maths strategys. I think its just your lack of confidence. Try not to give quants so much respect 
Its much simpler than you think.

Reading that a recent GMAT taker (briangtsmith - congrats again, by the way) got a 700 with a 42Q/42V split has seriously made me smile!
