GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

I started studying for the GMAT 6 weeks ago. I started with the Princeton Review Guide and then took a practice test from GMAC. I scored a 690 with a 44 Quant and 40 Verbal. I continued with the Official Guide, however, I did not find it all that useful because the explanations are not very good. I finished the Problems, Data Sufficiency, and Sentence Correction sections (my weakest areas) and scored a 690 again. My primary problem is running out of time on the Quant (I rushed the last 10 questions of both tests and completely guessed on the last 5 or 6), so that is killing me.
Anyways... I am trying to revamp my study plan. I am applying for PHD programs for the fall of 13 and I need to score at least a 700+, however, I would like to score a bit higher. Where do I go from here? The MGMAT books? I have even considered the MGMAT online class? I don't mind spending the money on the MGMAT class if it will help me improve.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Classes attempt to have a one size fits all (for the most part). The instruction may very well fill in the gaps in your own prep.
My own score improved from a 610 to a 710 and I used MGMAT. After the class I realized I could have self prepped, but I do not regret taking the course. It was very useful, the MGMAT staff was excellent (good instruction/explanation, office hour staff, etc.) and well worth the amount I spent. Knewton offers the 50 point guarantee, that might be more up your alley since you're determined to get above your current scoring level.
