Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd share a great discovery I made. GMAT Club has a FREE GMAT math book floating around out there. This has everything you could possibly need for your GMAT quant studies. Build those fundamentals, and the quant section won't be that intimidating.
Cheers!

I did not find MGMAT Advanced
I did not find MGMAT Advanced Quant not to be worth it. I find it drills some essential concepts, such as not forgetting that x^(1/2) could be x or -x, but otherwise, I found I never used the concepts on the actual GMAT.
GMAT Club also has some tests that are supposed to be excellent for quant.
EDIT: Just saw that you did include GMAT Club's tests in your list. Do you really think GMAT Pill was worth it for verbal? I am a native English speaker and stuck at 42, looking to get to 46+.

42's not good enough? It's in the 96th percentile lol.

Once you hit 40 on verbal, it's difficult to move up. It's not so much structure, as it is catching subtle differences between answer choices. I scored a 47 on verbal my first time around, but I read constantly. The section where most people struggle, is Sentence Correction. If you master SC, you're well on your way to 46+.

How do you use the GMATClub exams? Do you find value in the repetition of doing a lot of problems, or are you taking the time to re-do / understand the missed problems. I have about a 80% hit rate on 600-level problems and a dismal sub 50% hit rate on 700 level questions. I'm not sure if I need to spend more time understanding the 600 level questions to solve the 700 level questions, or if its the fact that I haven't seen a lot of the 700-800 level questions.
FYI I've scored a Q44 / Q44 / Q44 on the last 3 MGMT CATs I've taken, my score is stagnating and I'm not sure what to do. Hence the GMATClub resource.

The GMAT Club tests are a MUST if you want to up your quant. After my week going over Total GMAT Math (Sackmann), I upped my quant to 39 to 44. But for a week I couldn't move past the damn 44. The GMAT Club tests are extremely difficult, but you need it to up the quant. At that level, most of the mistakes you're making are in the fundamentals. Especially since you have a high hit rate with the 600 level qs, the 700 level tends to test properties and rules more stringently. The price isn't that prohibitive, if anything it is on the low side.
My advice would be to spend a week or two on the fundamentals, Algebra Geometry and most importantly number properties. Buy yourself a GMAT Club subscription, take some quizzes at the 600 level for quant, and once you can do these with your eyes closed, try the 700 level. I would say GMAT Club quant questions are CONSIDERABLY more difficult that the actual GMAT. A must to up the quant score.
Good luck on your studies bru.
