I am scheduled to take the Gmat on May 14th 2011. I recently took my second practice exam and scored a 450. My goal is to get to a 700 or at least high 600's. I know that it is possible because I am a very dedicated and committed individual but need your advice as to what my strategy should be.
I am currently enrolled in the online manhattan gmat prep course which ends on April 2nd. From my practice two tests (my first test was a combined score of 380 and much of the improvement was from simple strategy), my verbal is much stronger than my math. I believe I just need to work harder problems for verbal because I get a majority of the 500-600 level questions correct, but get less than 50% of any level above that incorrect. I also took advantage of the GMAT Write and scored and 5 on the argument statement essay and a 4 on the issue statement essay.
Relating to the math, I really need practice in all areas because I am currently getting questions only at a 300-500 level and some 500-600. My weaker areas include Rates, FDP, VICs and inequalities. I know that I should begin doing some OG problems but am not sure where to start. I do not know if it is more efficient for me to look at certain question types at a time, or just work problems that occur one after the other in the OG guide. I know that I am capable of a high score because I had a very high undergrad GPA 3.99/4.0. My problem is that I am book smart and I have always struggled with standardized testing. I really want to good to a top B-school and know that I can accomplish my goal. Please let me know your advice regarding a good strategy to tackle OG problems as well as an overall strategy to accomplish my goal. Thank you!

ebethke, have you been reviewing the questions you're getting incorrect?
The more information you provide in this thread, the more people will be able to help.
You mentioned some specific areas in quant that you were struggling; you should spend some time reviewing those areas and getting the fundamentals before diving into the OG problems.
Edit: I should note that I am not, by any means, an expert on the GMAT, just a fellow test-taker. However when looking at the OG questions, they provide a two-fold purpose: 1) practice, 2) identification of problem areas. If you already know what your problem areas are, you can focus on tackling those without using your OG questions at half value.

I haven't done as many practice problems that I have liked because I've been reading the material for the course and doing some of the problem set for the individual books. But, for instance, tonight I worked on overlapping sets and problems that were in a 500-700 range. I got a majority of them wrong, but before reading the answer, I try to do the question again. Once reviewing the answer, I do the problem again and note down the problem on a list with anything that I struggled with. I want to hopefully go over the problem again in a week or so.
