Well, I have been studying for GMAT for over a year now and I am trying to bring to a close. I do very well in verbal and I don't have any issue there. My problem is quantitative. My goal for the quantitative section is 60th percentile. My most recent GMATPrep full test that I took last week I got 43(50th Percentile) on quant. I think I am close to my goal, but so far I have not been able to make it.
My strategy up to this point has been to identify my weak areas and then go back to my Manhattan Prep books and study those sections again, as well as do the assigned Official Guide 2017 problems for those sections that are assigned by those Manhattan Prep sections. My weakest areas at this point seem to be Algebra and Word Problems. It is very frustrating studying for so long and still falling short of my goal.
I have read repeatedly on this forum that the GMAT Club tests are very helpful. So, I was wondering if maybe I should invest money in those and give them a try to see if they will help. If this is a good idea, I would like to ask what is the best way to use these tests in order to help improve my quant score? Is there instructions somewhere that would help me get started with them? I have heard that Jeff Sackmann's practice sets are very helpful also.
Also, any other advice on how to improve my score I would greatly appreciate. I am also using Kaplan's QBank and that seems to be helpful. I also, tend to make silly mistakes, sometimes make calculation errors, and sometimes do not read a question carefully enough. But, I have improved in those areas quite a bit.
Again, any advice I would greatly appreciate. I would really like to hit my target goal. Actually, I need to in order to have a chance at being accepted at the school that I wish to attend.

Hi twilliams,
This recent CAT Score result is almost identical to the Official Score that you reported back in April, so it's likely that you continue to 'see' (and respond to) the Quant section in the same ways as before. By extension, continuing to work through more and more practice materials - in those same ways - is probably not going to lead to the improvement that you're looking for.
"Review" is an exceptionally important part of the GMAT training process; your ability to define WHY you're getting questions wrong is essential to defining the areas that you need to work on (and the specific things that you need to 'fix'). As such, I'd like to know a bit more about your last CAT. While a full Mistake Tracker would provide a lot more information, there are some basic questions that you should be able to answer (and the more EXACT you can be with your answers, the better):
After reviewing the Quant section of this recent CAT, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math that you just could not remember how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I generally recommend that test takers choose questions that are just slightly tougher than they are comfortable with. Not too tough, not too easy. Especially not too tough, as you might actually want to develop the habit of letting the really tough questions go, so that you are in a better position to hit your target score.
