I took the GMAT exam on July 10th and scored 560(Q40, V27), I plan to retake the exam again and to improve 10 points in each section. During my prep for my first attempt, I used mainly Magoosh and studied for 3-4 weeks only. Magoosh is incredible (especially in Quant and SC) it helped me to gain 560 in almost no time. Now, as I plan to retake the exam again on Oct 9th (already registered) I started to explore the best resources that teach strategies mainly. For the verbal I purchased e-gmat verbal online course, and I find it good so far, it focuses on strategies exactly as I want.
I need your help guys on which resources teach Quant strategies and how to attack questions. I don't need resources that teach me quant foundation (Magoosh is already great in this).

Hi Shyamaa,
Since you already have a course, I would recommend you go to back to the course and revisit the concepts. Understand them and then start solving the questions.
Try to drill down deep and understand you pain areas.
Quants: Try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
If you're looking for strategies to boost your score,we would like to highly recommend for you to try our course. From our course, you will learn Variable approach for DS and IVY approach for PS. With our unique approaches, you can significantly save time, and will have 10 minutes to spare on exam. For instance, with our approaches, you can solve questions that normally take 4 minutes in 1 minutes and 30 seconds, and 2-minute question in 30 seconds. You can solve DS questions 100% with Variable approach and 30-40% of PS questions with IVY approach. We also would like to recommend studying and mastering DS first as DS is a quick win. Once you fully understand and master DS only, you can surely hit at least 49.
Particularly, if you aim at hitting 49 and above, you should be strong in CMT questions(Common Mistake Types), which you can learn from our course as well. Depending on the number of CMT questions you get right, a high score is determined.
You can go to our website and check if you like our method and try Trial Pack (4 hour lesson) that reveal our secret approaches of DS+PS core theory that you have never seen.
Additionally, below are two useful articles featured in GMAT Club for your reference. This will be helpful for you. You can see what sort of questions you might encounter on actual GMAT.
