Ok, my exam is next saturday december 29th.
i'm only aiming for high 500's cause thats all the school is asking for (the admissions lady told me the rest of my application is great).
my strengths is verbal. weakness is math. i know the basic formulas of math, but i'm just slow.
...i read somewhere that scoring high in the verbal section can improve your score because its rare and therefore gives you better overall score.
is this true? if so, do you think i should spend the next week strictly focusing on verbal? what are my chances of meeting the 550 mark?
...my first attempt was 380, then 400, then 460. yes, i know i'm not smart, but at this point, i'm just really desperate.

if you are going to improve by a set number of questions given the same test (something that cannot be duplicated in the real GMAT because of CAT), then verbal is probably worth more. This is explained in some of the stickied threads because scoring high on verbal is rarer than it is to score high on quant.
IMHO its more effective to make sure to have no typos and no dumb mistakes than to learn new material.

I agree; you can get away with a couple of mistakes in quant and still have a good score, but in verbal that's a killer.
Having said that, I would recommend studying for both: I'm pretty sure you can still improve both skills till your exam.
Good luck!
