I took the GMAT for the first time this past Saturday and only scored a 490. I scored in the 50th percentile in the Verbal, but only in the 26th percentile on the Quantitative. The MBA program I'm applying requires at least a 50th percentile in each section (it's a Cal State School), so I won't be accepted with those scores.
In preparing for the exam, I found it tough because I graduated college almost 15 years ago. That required me to begin from the beginning in the math review. However, I did study quite a bit by purchasing the Kaplan book w/ CD, and I attended a somewhat worthless prep course over four weekends. I also work full time and have a family, so this also makes it tough (although I'm sure this is not a unique situation)
My question for all of you is: Is it possible for me to kick up the quantitative score to the 50th percentile by May 31, which is school's deadline to take the GMAT? I would appreciate your thoughts and any advice you could offer. Thanks!
P.S. - I wish I had found this community while preparing for the exam. I believe I would have done much better!

yes but dont work on the problems in the forum, it wont benefit you. learn the basics, get the OG and work on those problems first 1/2 to 3/4 and know how to do them cold and know why. post any questions on here you do not understand. Do gmatprep and learn the different types of problems asked.

Thanks for the advice.
Just to ensure I understand, I should get the GMAT Official Guide (the complete version and not just the Quantitative Review), then work on 1/2 to 3/4 of the problems in the OG? (I take it the Kaplan Book I already have is not very helpful?)
Thanks.
