I've been accepted to the school of my choice, but attendance is contingent on upping my quant score.

Official Scores I've received so far
Verbal 38 / 83%
Quant 36 / 43%
Combined 620 / 70%

Verbal 40 / 89%
Quant 33 / 36%
Combined 600 / 64%

While they haven't specified, other students have scored in the 70-80th percentile range, but if I can at least escape the 50s, I think I will be in good shape. This means turning my scaled score of 33 into 42(61st), 45(72nd), or 48(80th).

My test date is 19 November. Last sunday I completed Veritas's Fast Track Course to get back up to speed, and now have 7 more weeks to study. I have the complete set of Veritas books, the Official Guide, and the OG Quant (green book).

My work is demanding, but i'm setting aside at minimum a full day of study time on the weekend, and have time for several 2 hour study/homework/practice-test sessions throughout the week. What I need is what goes into those available slots that will have the most impact on my quant score, while also giving me time to brush up on my verbal.


Any help would be appreciated!
