Strategy for getting 51 in Quant

Question

Dear Experts,

Its been one and a half months since I started my GMAT prep, so far I have focused primarily on Verbal as that is the area I felt needed a lot of improvement. I have drastically improved by CR and SC accuracy (targetting a score of 43-45 in verbal) and feel am on track to get to the target score.

In couple of CATs that I have taken, my quant scores have been consistent between 48-49 (being an engineer from India haven't really needed to work too hard to get that score). My strategy for quant will be to target a 50/51 which I think is highly possible and can improve my overall score.

What is the quant strategy I should take to get that score? I have heard that Manhattan Advanced Quant Review is a must if I am targetting that score. Any reviews?

I am planning to refer to question banks posted by Bunuel and Walker definitely, but anything additional that I should include in my prep? Would be really grateful if anybody can help me out here.

Thanks a lot!

Mine is on the 2nd of Dec and am really struggling with the Timing on GMAT Club Quant tests . Are these much more difficult or lengthy that original GMAT ? I have given the GMAT twice . Quant seemed a breeze back in 2012 when I scored 49. But in 2015 Apr , It looked really lengthy and I fell to 47. But I have fixed some of the practice stuff . All the same really struggliing on the timing . I manage 51 with around 4-5 mins extra.

Can someone benchmark the GMAT Club quant tests in terms of length.

GMAT Club's quant questions are harder than those of the real tests, thus each question requires more time than a question on the real test.
