I am sitting for my first GMAT this coming Thursday. However, I am already anticipating retaking it towards the end of September or early October given that my practice exams are not as high as I would like.
GMAC practice exams:
Practice exam #2- 630 (Q39, V37)
Practice exam #3- 640 (Q41, V36)
In both exams I took the quant section first and ran out of time on verbal, with about 3-4 questions remaining in each exam. I am taking my last practice exam tomorrow morning and a will attempt to remedy the time issue in verbal by taking the verbal section first and quant second.
In anticipation of taking on a new strategy after the my first official exam, can anyone offer a retake strategy to improve both aspects but with emphasis on quant? I feel I can make the most improvement in quant and would like to shoot for 47-49.
I have been using magoosh videos and their practice problems, but I feel maybe I have not exposed myself to enough practice problems. I have done about the first 1/2 of the practice problems in the OG18 guide of each section(PS, DS, SC, RC, and RC).
Would Target Test Prep be ideal for someone in my situation? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Eric8923,
Since your Official GMAT is in 3 days, we'll be better able to discuss how you should proceed once we have that Official result to use as a reference. You might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn't provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what you should work on to score higher. If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
Beyond that, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What is your goal score?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Any good resource should provide you enough quant practice material. However, you're looking to move from 35-41% to 61-74%, so it's possible that just solving more questions is not going to be enough (it looks like you need to work on your concepts).
