Hi everybody!
After 1.5 month of study I took my first official GMAT, scoring 46 Quant and 40 Verb.
I'm seriously considering retaking the test because I want to apply to INSEAD and:
1) overall score is slightly below the average of the enrolled students
2) most important, my Quant score is not so nice (58th percentile), and INSEAD warmly advice to aim to a balanced score with 75th percentile for both Quant and Verb.
During the past few days I have been searching the net for the booster program that best fits my needs but I'm not sure about what I have found.
EmpowerGMAT booster program seems nice (I have to increase my Quant and maintain/increase my Verb) but:
1) It takes more than 130 hours to be completed. I am planning to retake the GMAT around mid of January because I would like to apply not later than R2, studying more or less 20/25 hours week.
2) It seems highly based on the OG which I have already completed front to back, together with the first 2 Official Prep CATs. Therefore I'm scared all the videos based on OG will not be so much useful (I have already reviewed the OG explanations (but maybe the program focuses on alternative way of solving questions).
Any advice from anyone (and especially from @EMPOWERgmatRichC)?
Thanks and regards!

It seems like i am in the same boat too. I also have a score of 660 Q43/V38 and mu target score is 700+. I am also overwhelmed with so many choices. At first i was not planning to retake immediately but now i have time of 1 month. I also want to increase my quant and at the same time maintain or even increase verbal score. I urge experts to reply to this post and guide us in the right direction. Wrongchalice and GmatWizard , do share if you find any solutions.
