Hi guys.
Took the gmat few days ago and scored 710 (Q47, V41). I was dissappointed with my Quant score. I was scoring Q49 consistently on mock exams. Now I have decided to retake the exam after a month. For the first exam I've studied one month and half and uses the material below:
MGMAT Strategy guides for quant and verbal
Official Guide Quant
Official Guide Verbal
Official Guide GMAT
MGMAT Practice exams 1-6
GMAT Prep Practice exams 1-6
Now what would you recommend for the retake? Should I read all the strate guides again and do the end of chapter questions? Should I do official guide problems again?
And is there anything other than these materials which could help me achieve my score?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi taliyev,
As discussed here:
not-sure-if-i-should-retake-226959.html#p1746109
You already have an outstanding score, so retaking the GMAT is probably not necessary. That having been said, many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores. Since you've studied for just 1.5 months, you might naturally improve once you've put in more study time and effort. Taking 12 practice CATs in 1.5 months was NOT a good idea though. A CAT is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to put in the necessary practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. As such, you really shouldn't take more than 1 FULL CAT per week.
A Q47 implies that you made some little mistakes on Test Day in that section and you missed out on some 'strategy-based' points. Since your prior studies were so 'book heavy', you would likely improve in the Quant section if you invested in some new, non-book resources that emphasized Quant Tactics and pattern-matching.

I think you are totally right. Doing 2 CATS a day wasn't really a good idea. Should I purchase GMATclub Tests? Are they going to help me in improving my quant score?
