My GMAT verbal improved from 28th percentile to 97th percentile since the first time I took the test. Unfortunately my quant has remained at a very dissapointing 35th percentile. On my previous study attempts I simply worked quant question after quant question without focusing on the concepts. As evident by my results, that strategy proved to be wrong. I am in the process of going over the concepts but will soon need to start tackling the questions again.
What is the best way that you all have used the quant questions from GMAC?
I have the official guide questions as well as 230 questions from GMAT Prep (by GMAC). In total I have about 650 questions to work with. Should I solve them by topic? (Using Manhattan as guide since they have already separated the questions by focus area) Or should I do them according to difficulty? The GMAT prep has them separated them by level of difficulty. Or should I simply solve them at random?
Finally, should I time myself while solving the questions or should I wait to do that until the practice exam stage?
Thanks!

Wow, that's an awesome improvement with your verbal score!
Regarding your quant question, I am in a similar boat. It is obvious that just grinding through problems is not the answer.
Did you keep an error log on your first time through the quant? Or have you been paying attention to the MGMAT assessment reports that you can get over each of your exams? I think that would be a good starting place (where I am starting as well)

I did not keep an error log. I did "work" through the Manhattan guides but to be honest I did not really master any of the concepts. What I'm trying to do now is to get a solid understanding of a concept before moving on to the new one. I did not pay attention to my previous practice tests and now realize that I should have.
I highly recommend Total GMAT Math. I bought it after my last attempt and it seems to be useful when used ALONG the manhattan guides. Best of luck to you!
