I am ashamed. I really appreciate your replies. I went out last night and drank (LARGE) for the first time in four years! Made no difference. Clearly, this GMAT is taking its toll on me mentally. I write now with so much remorse, but in reflection you guys are simply right!
The best moment in the last 24 hours for me has been reading your replies. Thanks.
Ok, back to business.

uzoik, dont warry. all u need it's just to understand the concept of Q-part. it's not so hard, believe me. after that you'll solve a half of Q-question mentally. Just again refresh the base of math then practice, practice, practice...
@ barfer. I like what you mentioned here. I never could think I could solve half after these questions mentally. I have realised what I do when answering a Math question is that I always jot stuff down, even before reading the whole question. I don't know why I do this. I think its something I picked up in school. But mentally solving the questions in the head first is definitely what could help me improve, especially with the time factor. Do you have any strategy to share?
@bsd_lover, cheers man. Your right, I always glance at the forum questions and never really get involved. I am sure there is much to learn.
@ Tarmac, you know, i think I have spent 99% studying only Quants during the last 5 months. I really left Verbal to the last 2 weeks or so. I am a native (bad) English speaker so I thought I would be OK with Verbal. What I later realised was that most RC questions were always difficult for me to grasp, the scientific essays always failed me. Furthermore, the CR questions were really difficult for me to get round. I always had to re-read the questions 2 or 3 times to understand what was being said. SC was weird. Sometimes I will get 16/17 questions right on the GMATPREP test, other times it would be a 50/50 split. Oh yes, I had to fly to a different city because the spots to take the TEST in my city was full. Yesterday was one of my deadlines for one of the schools. I have no idea what to tell them now?
Not to ask too much. Can anyone give me a 10 point plan on what to do say over the next 3 months or so.?
Thx.
