I would recommend a few things:
1) Go through Bunuel's math workbook (below) with a fine tooth comb and understand everything in it. Write down and go over anything that seems unfamiliar. In my experience, this book covers everything you need to know, and more, to achieve a 49+ on quant.

2) Seriously think about investing in the GmatClub quiz/test material. There are a plethora of questions and each questions is in the 45-51 Q range, so would be perfect for you to make that transition to the next step.
3) Overall, it is a lot easier to improve your Q score from 45 to 49 than to improve your V score from 41 to 44 (trust me, improving your V score in a matter of 3 weeks will be extremely difficult, whereas I believe you can definitely improve your Q score significantly in that timeframe.
Good luck!

Hi holdenpc,
Given your current Scaled Scores, you have a fairly equal opportunity to pick up points in the Quant and Verbal sections. The challenge is that you "see" the Quant section in a certain way and the missing points that you are looking for will require that you change the way you "see" (and respond to) the Quant section. Many Test Takers find it difficult to change their habits in such a short period of time. You might find that the EMPOWERgmat Quant Score Booster gets you thinking in the right ways to get those points. In the Verbal section, you do not have any 'weak' category, so you're probably missing out on some rarer variations on common question types and some rarer grammar rule-based SCs. Fatigue might also be impacting your performance late in the Test.
To simplify this issue, you should first look at the 'precision' of your work. On your last CAT, how many questions did you get wrong that you COULD have gotten correct.... but you made a silly/little mistake? THOSE are the easiest, quickest points that you should be able to "get back." Usually, the solution is to take more notes, label your work, stop doing "math" in your head, etc. This is an area that you can work on regardless of whether you're going to invest in new study materials or not.
