Hey, OP, how many CATs did you do? As I've posted in other threads, do 6 or more CATs to improve your score and guage where you're at before you throw another $250 on the table. Check out the link on this site for online practice tests.

Since I'm in a good mood, I'll share one of my favourite quant tricks with you. BOW TIE. You may have already known this but it's the easiest way to figure out which fraction is bigger.

7 OR 6
12 11

Multiply 12 by 6 = 72. That's the value of the fraction on the right.

Multiply 11 by 7 =77. That's the value of the fraction on the left.

Left value is bigger, hence, 7/12 is more than 6/11. I actually got a question on data sufficiency and had I not known this, I would have got it wrong.
