Hey everyone! I'm new here and I began my GMAT endeavor about four weeks ago. My latest Veritas practice test was a 650 (38Q, 41V). I'm enrolled in Target Test Prep and have the OG, Princeton Review book, and Manhatten Quant book. Does anyone have any suggestions for how best I can increase my Quant score? I don't really face a target test deadline as I work for myself and am self-pacing. Ideally I'd like to take the test by August but that's flexible. I have been dedicating about three hours a day to studying. Thanks for any input!

Hi wjry.
While increasing one's GMAT verbal score can be fairly challenging, increasing one's GMAT quant score is rather straightforward.
The best way to increase your quant score is to work on quant topic by topic, learning each topic in depth and then doing dozens of practice questions involving that topic until you get them correct consistently, achieving high percentages correct and, even better, streaks of 10 or more correctly answered questions in a row.
Most of the time, you should practice untimed to give yourself time to learn how to answer questions correctly. You can be more concerned with answering questions in two minutes each later in your preparation.
By working in this way, you master each topic in turn and drive your score up point by point, and you can use this approach to drive you quant score as high as you want to drive it.
The good news is that, with the exception of the OG, which is designed for more general practice, the resources you are using, including Target Test Prep, take you through quant in just this fashion.
For a more in-depth discussion of this topic you could read this comprehensive post on How To Increase Your GMAT Quant Score.

wjry - Welcome to GMAT Club!
Two great observations in your post are, first, your baseline score of 650 is solid, leaving you with a tremendous chance to score very high on the GMAT, and second, your decision to avail the Target Test Prep course. Quant is perhaps your weaker section and therefore TTP will tremendously help you increase your score from a Q38 to Q49-51 range if you religiously follow the study plan offered by TTP. Please realize, a Q49-50 coupled with a V41 could very well fetch you a 760 on the GMAT.
