540 score. stuck on Maths (MGMAT books)

by matteomasciotti » Wed Dec 12, 2012 1:32 pm
Hi everyone,
I need a little bit of guidance on how to reach a 680 score. I started to study for the gmat in May, stopped in August, and then started again in November. I went through all of the MGMAT books (both verbal and quantitive) and the exercises in each chapter. I took my first diagnostic test from GMAT prep software a week ago and scored a very disappointing 540, weakest area: sentence correction. So I decided to buy Aristotle SC Grail..and right now I feel like I am doing a great job on sentence correction;it really feels like I can score higher on sc . Surprisingly, I don't feel the same for my quantitative part. I am really stuck, I don't know how to prepare for the test in this area. Should I go through OG13 again? Should I go through the MGMAT chapters again? should I just keep on practicing? Buy another manual? The test is scheduled for the end of january, but I can postpone it...
Please, any suggestion would be appreciated. :?:

Usually new material is not the answer (although there are a lot of great things out there that may help). The answer typically is have a firm grasp of all of the concepts. If you feel yourself struggling to remember certain things, then you definitely have holes in your knowledge base. Go over materials again and again until you know all of the rules with very quick recall. Basically, go through the quant with the same discipline you went through SC. The more you practice the better you will be.
