I'm rescheduling my exam for June. I'm planning to revise my study plan to focus on primarily the Official Guides. However, I think my biggest concern is on improving my Quantitative score and I need to figure out a way to properly address this. I'm confident about the material - I don't often have questions about how to figure something out. My problem is timing, and as a result, accuracy. I'll get the 1st half of the section, maybe two wrong at most, and then get most of the second half completely wrong, because I spent so much time trying to get the first half right that I don't have much time to really even read some questions.
In addition to doing ALL of the questions in the Official Guides and reviewing ALL of the official explanations, I think Kaplan 800 should help me get there (based on what I've read on various postings). Any other thoughts on how to raise the bar on quant?? I think all I need to do is pick up the pace. I'm also going to purchase and complete the MGMAT CAT exams, which I've heard are pretty good.
Attached is my revised study plan. Please let me know your feedback. Thanks.

You're study schedule looks fine. But don't try to be too prescriptive with your studies--be sure to be flexible as well. If you find that it takes you longer to master a concept, it may be a good idea to bend your schedule to spend more time reviewing/practicing that concept.MonicaKhan wrote:I'm rescheduling my exam for June.

Do you have any tips to offer in terms of improving my quantitative score? Hopefully, consistent, comprehensive practice under timed conditions will do it...and I think Kaplan 800 should help in terms of learning new strategies. Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks.
