How to go from Q43 to Q47+?

by Beninho » Wed Sep 30, 2009 7:00 am
I did well on the overall score but had trouble with the math section of the test. I didn't do terrible, scoring a Q43, but that's only 67th percentile and just a bit too low for the top schools.

Can somebody please give me some insight on how I could bring my Q-score into the high 40s or even to 50? I did problems in the OG, I took some Princeton Review practice exams, and I took the two GMATPrep practice CATs.

Are there any books or resources specifically for people who are already scoring relatively high but need to bring their math skills up one more level? I bought Kaplan 800 and will work through it in the upcoming weeks, but I'm hoping there might be other, even better books or online resources that can help with more advanced math topics.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions! I appreciate your help!
