Beaten by GMAT

Hello all,

I have just finished taking my gmat and got a disappointing 580 (33Q/36V).
I have studied for about a month, mostly OG and manhattan gmat. In all of
my practice exams I have never scored so low in quant. My Mgmat practice
scores ranged from 550(first w/o studying) to 690 about a week or so before
my exam with a 660,670,and 620 between them.

The questions on the quant were very different from anything I have seen in
OG or Mgmat, not one overlapping sets question. Not trying to make up excuses
it is just that I was caught off-guard and paid dearly for it.

I am going to reschedule my exam for one-month, and need a 600-620 score for
the programs I intend to apply for. I would really appreciate some advice on
what I can do to give me that slight bump to the 600's.

Did you take any official (GMATPrep) practice tests? They provide the most accurate scores.

Cheers,
Brent

Yes, I took both of the gmat prep cats and scored 620 and 650.
I am wondering which program or set of materials will give me a
foundation to handle the basics through to 600 level questions,
and if there are any sources that have the most recently retired
gmat questions.
