Great tip for you, mikegreen58:

I highly recommend Peter Kump's "Break-Through Rapid Reading". Be patient, have faith, and do the exercises EVERY DAY (especially the "recall patterns", to improve RC). I had great results in just a few weeks. I not only improved my RC, but also improved on quant word problems and increased my overall exam speed. Added bonus - study time was reduced because I spent less time actually wading through books.

My question for you - did you see any familiar questions on the quants?

That is, did you find yourself saying, "Oh yeah, I remember a question like this from Barron's (or whatever)", or was it more like, "OK, I've never seen this in my practice tests, but I know what to do".
