550 ---> 650 + in 6 weeks

Took the Gmat this past wknd after 3 wks of studying. Did not find this site until the week before . My quant score was a dismal 32. Got caught up on two questions midway through, must have spent about 4 mins on each . With 9 mins. to go I had 12 questions left. Needless to say I need to work on my strategy. I thought I had successfullly ironed out this problem in practice tests, yet it seemed that pride got the better of me as I forced attempts to answer questions that were too difficult.

Any advice on how best to combat this problem would be of great help. I have already gone through the Kaplan 07' book, but had not yet used the OG, I purchased that yesterday as well as the Kaplan Math Workbook. I also plan to use the 1000 question documents and an error log.

My verbal wasn't so hot either, but I feel that most of my improvement should come from math. As suggested by another memeber I plan to read 'The Economist' every night to increase my reading comp skills. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
