bosox: How are you reviewing incorrect answers? Doing more problems won't help you as much as studying the basic concepts and reviewing your mistakes.

I am reviewing them by reading the question again and reading the answer explaination that is about it right now. And by basic concepts you mean forumlas for math?

I would start using an error log. Search the forums for some examples.

I think you really should invest in some of the MGMAT guides. I think that you should, at least, get the number properties, word problems, and Sentence Correction guides from Manhattan.

And study these books. I would spend hours just studying the books and concepts and going over and over them until they are solid. Do the practice sets multiple times and understand the process of getting to the correct answers.

But the GMAT is more than just math, it is about thinking about concepts and how they relate to other concepts. You can do very well on the GMAT if you have a strong grasp of the foundations.

Borders is going out of business in many areas and are having massive sales on books. Might be able to get a these guides at about 10 bucks a piece if you go to borders. Otherwise order them.

Also, try your public library. There's a chance they might have them. but you need a guide I think.

I have the OG verbal and math gudies and have been using mainly the math for for about 2 weeks done about half of the problems and tried to go back over them to understand why I got what I did wrong. I thought this would help and i took another test got the same 370 so I thought it might be time to give the math a break and try som of the problems in the OG verbal section to try to imporve my score on there.
