600...looking to retake

by AZ2hot » Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:23 am
I took the test this last saturday and it seemed that the quant section was more difficult than what I have seen. I did every problem in the orange book and the quant supplement (green book). Does anybody know of another source where I can find problems that are more difficult to work through? Also I failed to finish the last 3 questions in quant (I know...stupid move!), does anybody know how much this impacts your final score?? I took the GMATprep 2 test a week before the test and scored 47 and managed a meager 36 on the actual test. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Kaplan 800 might be worth taking a look at.

Someone earlier posted about using the gmat bible for math. I'm strongly considering purchasing it. www.gmathacks.com
