Scored a 510 (Q34, V27) Need some advice

[rellahi]

I took the GMAT around Oct 5th and got a 510 (Q34, V27). I need at least a 48 in quantitative to be competitive for the program I'm applying for. I'm an economics major so math was never difficult for me until I experienced the GMAT math. I plan on retaking the GMAT November 25th and my plan is to use the MGMAT math series for the topics I'm weak in (Word problems and Data Sufficiency). So far I have used OG Guide, Kaplan and Magoosh.

I would appreciate any advice on how to improve my quant score. I know I have timing issues as well as struggling with silly mistakes in Data Sufficiency.

Here are my previous practice CAT scores:

8/24 Official CAT
420 (Q22, V25)

9/01 MGMAT CAT1
550 (Q38, V28)

9/20 Kaplan CAT
580 (Q43, V33

10/5 Official CAT 2
550 (Q36, V31)

10/13 MGMAT CAT 2 (Most recent)
620 (Q39, V36)

Hi rellahi,

Many people retake the GMAT, and Business Schools don't care if you take the GMAT more than once, so retesting is not a bad thing.

You have a clear goal for the Quant section, which will require some adjustments on your part. What is your overall scoring goal though? Does the program that you plan to apply not care about your Verbal score?

The program is a quantitative focused masters of science so they will mainly be looking at the quant portion but the verbal as well. My final score range would be aimed around 650-700 but mainly with a high quant. I would prefer a balanced score though.
