Well,
I am done. I'm certainly not an over achiver but I'll be quite happy with my new score.. If that is not gonna get me in then it's just not meant to be. THis time I got 640 80%ile Q40:61%ile V 37 83%ile. A 100 point increase from my first try.
I found that Princeton review was usefull to a point. But everytime I did CAT the bloody same questions would show up. In practive I got a 750, but I had done and reviewed 3/4 of the questions the day before.
Do not forget to revie a question.
Barrons was also useful as you can focus on certain types of questions.
But he CAT is awful.
Petersons was good but it is limited in it's math explaination.
I downloaded "Demystifying Algebra: Mcgrawl Hill". That was the major reason for my increased Q score.
I made math flash cards with all the little rules on them and the times table, decimils, fractions, roots etc. Then when I had down time at work I would review them.
I hardly did any work on the Verbal. I found all the materials I used were much harder than the actual test. I was getting V scores in the 29/32 range.
I also went out and drank a few beers the night before and relaxed. Woke up early had my daily cup o coffee and then wrote the test.

I am looking to score a 640 myself, I've taken 4 Kaplan CATs (530,580,570,560).
I've gone through the OG about 2 times and wondering whether two hit a 3rd time. Anyway I've gotten a hold of the paper & pencial tests and wanted to get your opinion, on what I could do to get to a 640.
thx,

I guess the best thing to do woub be get a second book and do more and more questions. I found the princeton review had a lot of extra questions. Plus the CD tests.
Just do as many questions as you can and try to understand how it is done.
Secondly, if you know you are weak on percents review it. Study it learn it. If you are weak on stats review it. Know it.
Geometry flash cards. Formulas, rules, etc. Know them.

Good luck
