Terrible Score...taking it again...need help

Aaron,
Any particular books you recommend? I've gone through the MGMAT quants already.
Thanks!

Ali, as long as you have the motivation, you'll nail a 700+.

You're still getting probably half of the questions wrong, so there are a lot of areas that you can make drastic improvements on... Just keep chugging away. Make sure you analyze what you screw up on each time you write a practice test, and be sure to address that. It's all about slaughtering your weaknesses...

Ali,

It is possible that you are strong in some quant areas and really weak in others. If the test has a majority of questions on your strengths, you end scoring in the late 30's or even early 40's. If it tests you on your weaknesses, your scores are in the early 30's. I am just speculating the reason for the skewed scores.

MGMAT is a good source and covers the basic concepts. It is not the best source for problems though. Their exercises are simple but test questions are difficult and have lengthy solutions. I am not inclined to suggest any new material since you are only 6 weeks away. One strategy that has really given me quick results is thorough reviewing. Go through each question in the OG (especially the last 40-45) and don't just solve it but review it and ask yourself "Can I still solve it if x is given and y is not?" or "Instead of Angle BOC, angle CBO is given". Also look for possible GMAT Traps..

for eg.

What is the value of x ?

x+3y=5
5x+2y=9

ofcourse the answer here is (C), but you should try to think of traps

what if the problem is

What is the value of x ?

x+3y=5
3x+9y=15

Is the answer still C?

No it is not. Both equations are the same and the answer is (E). You should be able to think of all the possible traps when you see a question.

The above may not be the best example , but I hope it is sufficient to make my point. you should think about variations in a problem as you review them. This is a boring process but it sure gives rapid results.
GMAT quant is more abt learning the FAMOUS TEST TRAPS than being a quant genius. Just because a person can solve complex trigonometric or engineering problems, dosen't make him a 51 in the GMAT. On the other hand, a person can score a 51 by knowing the basics , identifying these traps and practicing hard.

Good Luck ... I think you will make the 700 club

Thanks everyone; great advice, and I appreciate the positive sentiment.
I believe Walker and a couple of other folks put together a list of math traps, similar to what Aaron mentioned. I need to brush up on that that.

Aaron or anyone else, do you think 6 weeks are sufficient for a 700+?
I am open to any additional study material, maybe I'll push out my exam date a bit, so please suggest material that you think is useful.

StartupAddict- You can see that I'm following your advice! Much obliged.

Wish me luck everyone. Additional advices is highly appreciated.
