I just finished the GMAT exam and went up from 470 to 550. I am not very good in math so it was a LONG journey for me.

I bought OG 11 and 12 and did all the practice problems
GMAT Fix for OG 11
Kaplan's math brush up
ALL EZ solution books completed.
Kaplans GMAT book
GMAT crash course book by Princetonj review
all 6 online MGMAT tests
2 practice tests on MBA.com
Manhattan sentence correction.
GMAT secrets study guide (piece of crap)
...and weekend crash course for 16 hours

I know this seems like a hell of a lot for a 550. But it's what I needed to do and I am not taking it again.
