Hi, my GMAT is next week and I've been having trouble breaking past the low 40s my Q. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how I can improve my Q within 1 week's time? My only idea right now is to go through my mistakes in the OG and previous CATs.

Sorry to say it this way, but I would reconsider passing the GMAT next week. Could u still postpone it?
Your low 40s in Q could be due to several reasons, hardly fixed in 1 week:
> lack of basic : it means 1 month minimum to learn and apply all new things learnt
> time management problem : it needs a lot of practices in real time condition
> careless mistakes : it does imply to examine what in u, background included, make u create these mistakes... false assumption on variables percieved to be integers when they are real numbers...
> technics to finish a question: practice, practice and practice
In addition, the last week should be used to build up your confidence not to burn out by learning fastly and hardly a maximum of things on the Q section....
All in all, I'm perhaps wrong.... It's only u who has the keys of this !
Good Luck !

Hey thanks for your input. However, I cannot postpone the GMAT -I have vacation plans immediately afterwards =). My problem with Q has more to do with timing I think and practical application of theory in a timed environment. I can solve *most* problems without timing, but when time is thrown into consideration I have to give up on some questions and move on.
I did notice 1 or 2 really careless mistakes on the CAT I took today, but a majority of the questions I got wrong were ones that were taking too much time to solve so I just guessed and moved on.
My most recent Q scores were:
GMATPrep 1: 45
MGMAT 1: 40
MGMAT 2: 42
MGMAT 3: 45
GMATPrep 2: 42
So in light of the fact that I cannot postpone it, what do you think would be my best course of action? It sounds just doing more timed practice is the way to go...
