Hello,
I joined this forum a few months back and I've found tons of useful information.
So after studying for 4+ months, my math scores still suck. I can never finish the math part on the manhattan gmat tests within 75mins. and I constantly get <80% (<46). However I don't seem to be having problems with Verbal which is surprising since I came from an engineering background.
I've done all the math questions in the OG and found them not too bad. But MGMAT & gmatclub tests are just killing me. Can't finish in time and get <80%. Although, on one mgmat tests, I gave myself 30mins more on the quant part and was able to get up to 90%/49...but this is pretty unrealistic.
So I'm planning to take gmat in a few weeks and wondering what I should do to get my quant to 90%+. Is this possible? How big of a different is it between a 7x% quant score and a 90%? is it just a few 700 level questions?
The only thing I'm doing now is going through all those gmatclub tests. (I finished half of them) Not sure if they'll be enough get my score up there though. I'm hoping people can give me some suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks!!

I've heard that it's best to focus on your Strenghts, so if your not that great with Math, focus on getting your CR+Verbal up, so you can get your 700+ that way, without having to depend to weight everything.
I hear that Jeff's books on Quant are extremely helpful, also the GMat test from gmatclub.com, my friend used them as drills, and he got a 760 on this GMAT, the first time he took it. He told me he used that, and the official reviews, and some other books. Practice..Practice, and when you can't anymore, give it a rest, then Practice some more.

chrisyip - I was coincidentally in the same position. From an engineering background, rocked the verbal and struggled with quant. I had the same time issues with the tests. Very frustrating.
Unfortunately I didn't get above 80% (I got a 46 - 75%), but I did get above a 700 thanks to my verbal (41), so laythesmack23 is right about being able to get above 700 by rocking the verbal.
What I found helped me the most with quant was flash cards. Practicing problems is important, but actually learning the formulas and the rules was important as well. Every time I found something that I didn't know right off the bat or something that the MGMAT book recommended that I memorize, I put it on a flash card. I carried these stupid things around with me everywhere. It's a good thing there's no law against driving and reading flash cards!
I found the MGMAT word translations book also helped with understanding what the questions were asking. Do you have the MGMAT books? They're really priceless. I realize your test is in a few weeks, but if you still have time, I would invest in the books, or at least the subjects where you're struggling the most. There are some ridiculous rules that I probably learned in high school, but certainly don't remember now. Maybe that's our issue; we went so advanced in our math, that the little stuff they ask on the tests is long gone...
Hope that helps. Good luck on the test!
