Thanks Rich! I think you're right on the non-book sources as good prep material for the retake. I discovered video explanations on http://www.gmatquantum.com 2 weeks before my test, and found them hugely helpful when I redid the OG Quant problems. Just wanted to point out that I scored a 45 on the Q...

That makes sense, I think my pacing might be better addressed with timed drills versus full length CAT's. I think by quant tactics you mean reviewing plugging in, back solving and other strategies, is that right?
Really appreciate all your help Rich!
