Hey folks. 2nd time poster, 1st real post though. 
I'll briefly explain my goals and where I'm at. I'll follow with my issue.
Goal of the GMAT:
I am applying to a local business school, so my score goal may not be as high as many other posters. To be concidered in to the program, I need a 400. I realize that would be a lousy score. Still, my goal is *not* 700+. If I can be near 600, I'll be more than happy.
Where I'm at:
I'm at week 3 (of 4) right now. I have the OG, read through most of it, and am in the process of working through the quantitative test questions.
I took the GMAT Prep Test 1 last weekend. The verbal was fine - I did miss a few questions, but I completed it on time.
My quantitative, on the other hand, was horrid. Not only did I only get to Q25, but many questions were wrong. My overall score: 480. After studying a bit more throughout the week, I took the quantitative portion of Manhattan's free online exam. I believe I only made it to 30 this time, and still got half of the answered questions wrong.
So, that's the issue:
Quantitative. I will have some time to study this weekend, and about 2 hours a night throughout the week. My test date is in 8 days - 11/22.
Any tips/tricks/ideas to boost my score up a bit?
Like I said - I'm not looking to get in to Harvard. I just want to surpass a local business school's minimum of 400 with some decent room to spare.
Thanks!
