Anyone recommend a test prep? Right now, it appears that my scores are pretty bad high 400s and low 500s. Any advice?

I started where you are, my first score was a 510 on my Mahnhattan practice exam. I knew ahead of time that I needed work in all areas as I have been out of college for 10yrs. I bought the set of 8 Manhattan GMAT prep books and the OG12. The second test I took jumped to 560 after just a little study. I am still in the process of studying and have 5 weeks till my actual exam. These books have been good for me as my basic skills are rusty. You'll need at least 3 months to go through this material with an average study time of apprx 10-15hrs a week to get through the whole series in my opinion. My target score is 650, not trying to get into ivy league schools but obviously I hope to get higher than my target. I have seen other threads that say Manhattan is a good program too.

For verbal, i will recommend e-gmat.
For quant, i will recommend mgmat guides.
For over all GMAT, more effort and right preparation strategy.
finding out easier/faster/different ways to solve quant problems.
redoing and reviewing both incorrect/correct question in practice problems.

Check out the Verified GMAT Course Reviews in the GMAT Courses section on this website. It is quite thorough.

Personally, I would recommend Manhattan GMAT.

The only battle you can loose, is the one you abandon.

"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."
