I would strongly recommend you take a prep course or get a GMAT math tutor.

I don't think one month is enough prep time if you're trying to increase your score by 200 points. That would be a huge increase, and you're going to need time to improve your fundamentals and learn GMAT strategy. Most prep courses are about two months. Even if you find a one-month course, it would be intensive and would be hard for you to complete if you're taking summer classes also.

If you're really nervous about not getting in, focus more on the GMAT this summer and don't take extra classes, or consider dropping one of them. If you're too busy with other work, it will be impossible to get the score increase you're looking for.

"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."
