I am at the begining of my studies and I was wondering what some of the experts think is best. Is it better to kind of master the quant section and then move into verbal? Or should I switch between verbal and quant. My initial test was 500. I am trying to score 700+. I have a long way to go and wondering what people think is best?

First determine what score you got on Verbal and Quant. Then focus first on the weak section. Let's say you find Verbal is weak with a score of 28 and Quant is 39 then come up with a verbal and quant score that will get you 700. You can find gmat conversion tables online. Split time between the two sections to give more time to the weak section. Then drill some more and find out which one is the weakest topic e.g. Number properties, Weaken questions on CR. Study and practice those areas. You will get the most score gains in weak areas. How much you want to study is another topic and for that I have a table on my blog:

Hi ross14,
A 500 is a reasonable first CAT score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years). Given your score goal, you'll likely need to make some big improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections though. As such, you'll likely want to 'mix' your studies a bit (some Quant and some Verbal each week). Before we can really talk about the specifics though, I'd like to know more about your overall timeline and goals:
1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on this first CAT?
2) What study materials do you have so far?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
