Hi everyone!
To give you a background, I have given the GMAT a couple of times - 2014 (700 Q46/V40 - more of a timing issue with 5 unanswered quant questions) and 2016 (710 Q48/V40). I got dinged at several schools last year, all in the top-15. Though, I know there are several factors, but an Indian/Male with 710 isn't top of the pile either.
Now, with the order-selection option, I feel I can have a good go again and get into a similar-ranked school.
I started with the OG last night but I feel it is the exact same prep as last two attempts - where I went through only the 800 OG questions before taking the GMAT. While on a recent GMATPrep CAT (without IR, AWA), I score 760 (Q48,V45), I really want to take my quant to 50/51 level. I went through the courses on GMATClub marketplace and all the good ones seem very expensive (applying to several schools and hiring a consultant last year burnt a large hole in my finances).
Can any of you recommend a self-made study plan or a more affordable online study course for quant? I am VERY comfortable with word problems / number crunching but get bogged down with D.S., P&C and questions with pure math (variable equations, coordinate geometry).
Help would be appreciated - going to give this exam around Mid-July since verbal is more or less taken care of. Thank you!

Hi gmat7m!
Was this GMATPrep exam taken under exact exam conditions? Was it a repeat or were all the questions new?
Any practice questions you do, make sure you are doing them within the time limit (2m for difficult, 60s for medium, 30s for easy).

Hi TestPrepUnlimited
Thank you for taking time out to look at this. While these were not the exact test-center conditions, I did take the exam in the time limit (in-fact, saved 20 minutes on each section). However, I doubt this could be because I was without any pressure (I took it as a diagnostic before starting my prep).
The tests were definitely recycled from the same time last year and some keywords did sound familiar, but I don't think I knew the answers or even what the question was asking without reading in details - something I'd do with a fresh question.
Hope this answers!
