Hi,
I have been preparing for the GMAT for some time now. I gave my GMAT in April 2009 and did not do well. Scored a 610. Never before the actual GMAT and never after that have I scored so low in a test. I had no way of knowing how bad I will do since I was consistently scoring high on my practice tests. Range being 650 to 760. I took Kaplan and GMAT Prep tests.
So I decided to take the test again. I have taken a date in August 2009 this time. I have been doing one test every week now and have been able to pin point my weak areas.
Math- Probability,permutations and combinations , Number properties and Sets.
I have been consistently scoring 47 on my Math and would like to take it beyond 49.
Verbal- RC(Purpose type questions). I have been scoring 34-37 on my verbal and would like to take it beyond 37.
I would really appreciate if some one can point me to good theory resources on the above topics.
Resources I have so far-
OG 10th,11th and 12th edition. I have finished 11th and 12th.
GMAT verbal workbooks
Manhattan- All 3 verbal books and access to their online tests.
Kaplan 800

I do seem to make similar mistakes every time and I would really like to avoid that. Once I read the answer to questions most of them seem so obvious that I curse myself for not thinking that way.
Any tips or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
