I am preparing for my GMAT for the past one month with a fairly disciplined schedule and making some progress. My

Powerprep 1 score is 510 (without preparation),
Powerprep 2 is 550 with 15 days preparation and
MGMAT CAT 1 is 590 (26 days preparation).

I still have a month to go for the real game. In almost all my mock tests I seem to get the number properties wrong. I have referenced OG 11, PR and Kaplan. I am missing something(I always thought this will be an easy cake but no! it turned to be a nice looking bitter cookie). I am getting Geometry, word problems mostly correctly and my verbal part is decent (still a lot of room for improvement). Please suggest some strategies for cracking number properties. I have a full time job and I can devote 4 hrs per day. Week ends are completely mine. I need a decent score of 650 in GMAT and I am targetting only Canadian Schools as I live and work here in Canada. Any suggestions friends? I will remain indebted to BTG forever.

Thanks
