Hi all, I'm new here, this is my first post. I could really use some advice regarding the quant section.

I've been preparing for the GRE since late January, and today I took my first practice test under timed conditions. It was the free CAT math exam from score800.com. I'm freaking out because I only scored 520, really had major time management issues (I guessed on the last 6 problems). This score suggests I'm in serious trouble. I'm planning on taking the exam at the end of March and can't take it any later. I really need a 650 on the quant section and I'm wondering if it is possible for me to get to this level within 3 weeks of prep? Any suggestions on what I should do? I've been practicing from Nova and Barron's and feel I understand the problems in those books, but obviously my preparation has not been sufficient. I must admit math is not a strength of mine. I'm starting to wonder if I'm capable of scoring 700+, even with another month of preparation. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
