First, I want to tell you that timing should not be considered when you first start studying. You need to work on accuracy and understand the concepts. Do not even worry about how fast you can do problems. You should spend the last month or so practicing under timed conditions. You will also get practice under timed conditions when you do practice tests. I did 7 practice tests before the big day.

Also, to give Kudos just go to the persons post and find the "Kudos" button under their profile/name. For example, mine is below my avatar of Kobe. You can't miss it.

Good luck, and let us know if you have any questions.

MGMAT SC is an excellent guide coupled with the OG 12 and the OG verbal...
For CR try and get the POWERSCORE CR Bible...it really lays out concepts in a very open manner to attack almost all CR questions...A bit long, although, the book is an excellent source of information and strategies...
To pull the score up...you would eventually need to work on your accuracy...and timing strategies...spend some more time on the SC as it works like math logic and the scoring can definately go up once you have nailed the SC's
