Hi all,
A little background: I am a current law student taking the GMAT to apply to a JD/MBA program. Problem is, I decided a little late in the game, and I am hoping to get my application in first round for better chances of making it in. I took my first practice GMAT today - 45 Verbal and 44 Quant. Clearly I'm okay on the Verbal (thank you LSAT studying) but I'm wondering what the best way to get my quant score up in the shortest amount of time is (My test will likely be at the end of September...if i really bomb it I guess I can always retake it and apply round 2).
Any recommendations for books/study plans would be great, keeping in mind that I am also a full time student. I am prepared to put in ~10+ hours a week, I'm hoping that'll be enough to raise just my quant score.
Additionally, any advice for IR? I completely ran out of time and didn't answer the last 4 questions which totally tanked my score there.
Thanks everyone This forum seems like a gem of a discovery.

With a Q44 and V45, you're already at or around 720, which is great. Did you get this score without studying? If yes, you should start right from the basics (take a look at the math review in the official guide if necessary) and identify the areas that you are not comfortable with. You shouldn't take too much time on this, because you'd need to move on to actually working on those concepts as soon as possible. You could think about using test prep material here. Getting your concepts in place by Sep 10 should give you enough time for revision and to take 3-4 practice tests (preferably GMATPreps) to get your timing strategy in place. How hard you push yourself will also depend on whether you've already started preparing and on your target score.

Hi thelalagirl,
To start, this initial CAT score is an outstanding performance (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years). You're clearly a strong critical thinker, so what you likely need now is to learn the proper Tactics and patterns that are built-in to the Test. With a Q44, you would have done well on most of the 'math' questions that you faced, but you missed out on lots of 'strategy-based' points.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you're looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
