If you start off with the right material (I sent you a few nice documents) and with intensity, you will see yourself improve at an unreal pace. I was scoring in the mid 30's in Quant early on, but when I began using this site every day, I saw my scores increase to mid 40's. Treat this test as a challenge and don't get discouraged by low practice test scores. I don't believe that this is a test of intelligence. If it were, I would've scored in the 500's. Instead, your score will positively correlate with the amount of effort that you put into your studying. Keep track of the Qs that you miss so that you can go back to them during the late stages of your prep and test yourself again. Practice your weak areas because the GMAT will test them. My weak area was Venn Diagram Qs. I worked hard on them (I received some great advice from the site) and I saw 3 of them on my test. Go hard out of the gate and you'll be fine.
