Time to study the verbal portion (although you probably know that by now). Your score can go up quite markedly if you spend time improving this section, all you need is about a 33/34 raw score (around the 40th percentile) to bump your score up to 700. Some basic strategies for each of the sections:

1) CR - focus on answer choices that are close to the topic of the statement
2) RC - Look for your answers to detail oriented questions in the passage, often times they are verbatim
3) SC - Look at the beginning and end of each underlined portion for differences in the answers. If you learn the grammar rules you will be able to employ more logic (all the stuff that got you the impressive 51) when choosing answers.

Hope this helps.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
