580 and looking for some advice

by Ttuluy » Fri May 13, 2011 7:30 am
So I scored a 580 on my first attempt. 31 in verbal and 39 in quant. I'm not disgusted with my score but I'd really like to do a bit better.
I'm not a great standardized test taking but I was scoring a bit better my practice exams (mid 600s). My target score is 650. I'm retaking the test June 3rd but I'm not sure how to most efficiently use my time to study. I don't think going through and doing practice questions for hours a day will help push me to the next level. But I'm not sure what to substitute that with.
I don't have any areas of considerable weakness, which is good and bad. I'd really appreciate some input.

Thanks
