Wow! You're aiming for at least a 150-point increase in your score! Not to sound rude or anything, but that's a whole lot in just two weeks! Not to mention that you've only had one month in prep and used only one book... Besides, scoring something like 700 will put you in range for all top b-schools...

Your post makes me think that your main issue is that you haven't practiced enough. No matter how good you are in maths or English, there are some types of problems that you haven't seen anywhere (i.e. the DS questions is quant and the CR questions is verbal) that might get you down. You need to start practicing as soon as possible and focus on your weak areas. I can definitely spot CR on the list, so maybe you should consider buying the PowerScore CR Bible.

I agree with DanaJ... I think it is much easier to go from 440 to 600 than it is to go from 600 to 750... because at the 700+ level, the questions become REALLY REALLY tricky and require you to know the substance cold AND to be able to think about problems in unique ways. Some people have a knack for it. But if you don't have aknack for it you need to practice a lot! One week seems a bit short but as someone once said, "nothing is impossible".

I would say... work on algebra like crazy and do tons of DS...

Good Luck and let us know how it turns out!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
