Keep in mind too that the GMAT changed on June 5 (new Integrated Reasoning section). So there will be new material to learn.

Best of luck! Please leverage this community throughout your prep, we're here for you.

If I really hit the MGMAT Math books hard (at least in my opinion), in your opinion what is the next best math book? I feel like my math has gone up slightly (high twenties to an average of low thirties) but nowhere near enough for how much I've focused on it 75% versus about 25% of my time on Verbal. I consistently see success stories on the forums but they always seem to be for people who bump up their verbal whereas I'm fine with my verbal score (low to mid thirties). I think if I could bump up my math score, I could definitely see more of an improvement in my score.

Thanks for the mention of the change in the test. Although my school lets you input your AWA score, they don't really seem to care about it. In that sense, I'll most likely be putting in a minimal amount of studying for IR as even a 30-40th percentile score would most likely be fine.

Edit: GMAT practice tests and real tests

March = Practice (Gmat version 1) - 470, 490 (q27, v31). Actual GMAT: 530 (q33, v29).
April = Practice (Gmat version 1) - 520, MGMAT practice of 650.
May = Practice - 620 (gmat version 2 prep), day before test (gmat version 2 prep): q35,v35 so 580. Actual GMAT: Q32, V35.
