Improving from a Q42 to a Q49 in three weeks HELP

Question

Needing some guidance on how to improve my Quantitative score from a 42 to a 49 in 3 short weeks- insane I know but it has to be done.

I am willing to go out and buy whatever needs to be purchased in order to achieve this.

On the practice tests I am getting consistently about 60% of each question type in data sufficiency and problem solving correct. From my error log it seems that there is no real pattern to which content my incorrect questions cover and timing does not seem to affect whether or not I get a question right - sometimes I spend 35 seconds on a question and get it wrong and sometimes I am spending far too long (over 120 seconds) and getting it wrong as well.

So I am seeking out the advice of the forum that helped me improve my Verbal raw score 10 points, any and all advice is greatly appreciated

thank you and happy holidays!

looks like you need practice. Read topics in Bunuel's signature and follow Bunuel and Karishma from veritas prep. Both have good solving skills. It's funny that a person like me is certifying them....
