So I've been going through the full online workshops and about 6 prep tests with Kaplan.

I've been struggling with the quantitative section, especially around fundamental algebra (or knowing when to use it in which manner).

Today, I got a 560, Q49, V55, and it was my best score which whilst heartening, wasn't where I need it to be. I'm trying to be realistic now, and feel like at the very best I could try and get a lower 600 score, given I'm days away, but does anyone have any tips of how to spend my last couple of days of prep.

I went through the answers this afternoon of my 560, and feel that when reading the answers, I knew how it was undertaken, and maybe I just felt overwhelmed with the 2 minute time limit to particular number crunching questions. Another test tomorrow so hopefully I improve again!

thanks

Just a quick thought... I would stay away from more practice exams if the real thing is on Wed. You need some rest.
