I am new to this message board so forgive me for any blatant initial errors. I took my GMAT last weekend and got a 41v and 37Q. I am a CPA with a big 4 and have a background in Econ so needless to say the Quant score is no bueno!! Plus I am looking to get into a top program and those scores put me at a 650.
I studied for the GMAT for about two months, I think the verbal score is solid, I will probably only review that a bit to keep my skills strong and see if I can get any minor improvement, but I need some help getting my math skills where they need to be. I have issues with time management on that section and while I know the basic math that goes into the problems I am having trouble applying those skills to the problem solving aspect of the test...I am not sure how to go about raising my score...do I just keep doing problems?

Your quant score is very low for a CPA and Big4. Verbal is fantastic. Wrong career or really bad gmat prep?
Usually there are only so many patterns to GMAT questions - there are unusual ones, but they don't come in until 700+ level.
If you are confident in your math skills, then you can work on the questions and maintain an excellent error log - copy, print, bind every question you missed and make sure you can solve it - also, eliminate any of the careless mistakes.
What have you used for your prep? Which books/materials?

Tell me about it...I probably am not totally in the right career, hence the MBA, but that being said ace'd my CPA and always get stellar evaluations from work so I know that quant score should be much higher. I think that I started out strong in math on the test but I took too much time when answering the first few questions, and left one blank (by accident I didn't notice my one second left). Book wise I used the Kaplan Live Online, the book put out by the GMAT folks, and Kaplan Advanced.
