Last Week Advices - Securing/picking points

Value of x?
What is the value of positive integer x?
1) The sum of all unique factors of x is 31

So the...

Tks very much for the reply, Mansie. I just edited the post, I mistype the score breakdown. It was 47 in Math, not in Verbal. Sorry! My mistake in Quant on the test was mostly time management (had to rush in the last 5 Qs), not content (I suppose). Regarding your comment about 'reachable B-schools' ...
