Hi guys,
I recently took my first official GMAT and I scored 690 (Q44, V40, IR7). I would like to apply to some of the top 20 business schools in Europe (LSE, HEC, LBS, ESCP...) for a pre-experience master (in finance or international management) so I believe that I'm going to have to retake the exam, mostly because of my quant score which is embarrassing, especially since I've always thought to be quite good at math. I am an Italian studying economics and management in Italy, I have a 4.0 GPA, an internship in consulting at a big 4, I will be studying at Warthon for a semester next year and I have also taken a summer course at LSE last summer. What do you think is the quant score that I should aim to, to have a good shot?
I have been studying for 10 weeks from the OG guide and an online course, which I didn't find to be that useful. I scored a 700 (Q42, V42) 3 weeks after I started studying, but my last CAT (after 7 weeks) was a 710 (Q46, V42) and my official score was 690 (Q44, V40), hence in 10 weeks I haven't gotten that better in quant. What do you guys think I should do? Should I try another online course, or should I buy some particular books? I like the idea of studying at my own pace online, but there are so many different courses and I really need one that can help me to improve in quant. I would like to retake the exam in about a month.
Thank you so much for your time in advance, a response would really mean a lot.

Hi michele98,
You can try out the TTP course as it is phenomenal and covers the entire syllabus really well. Plus it has great reviews on GMATCLUB. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
Lastly I would also encourage you to purchase the GMATPREP QP 1 for some great additional practice. You will also find the following link helpful.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi for Quant improvement try with TTP or eGMAT. Once syllabus completed, do the practice in GMATClub along with your course questions. Then do the mocks in Official or Manhattan.
