Oldman, thanks. I used Kaplan's Premier and Barron's. I went over the Quant practice in both, and used Kaplan's untimed monthly quizzes to see that I could do all the math correctly, just not fast enough. So I worked on time. For that, I had to become really familiar with things like the 5-12-13 and 1-2-3 triangles at first sight and whatnot. I also did a lot of Quant practices without any scratch paper, and in many cases it saved me time, so during the real thing I could only write down the things I really needed.
Still, I ended up totally guessing the last five questions, so I have no idea where that 780 came from. It's probably my highest score, including all the practice exams. It also helped to be aware that there's always going to be a "trick" in each question, so I asked myself things like: must it be an integer? Why does this one look so straightforward? Did I consider option D long enough?
But I think I was mostly lucky. And unlucky in Verbal!
