How confident are you that you can score higher on the exam? If you can duplicate your Q score and raise your V score, that would be excellent. That being said, I would not spend significant time on it as I think you're already in a good position. If it's a matter of doing some consistent, light prep, then great. If you have to really dig in at the expense of other things, then you might be better off just focusing on putting together your applications including the essays. All these materials take time and I would like to see you ace those rather than improve your score on the margins.

Does that make sense?
