1. Why the heck are you taking practice tests if you just started preparing? You are wasting them.
Actually I've 15 more practice tests from veritas prep. I planned to keep 5 for last week before actual exam, and take others.

2. What have you been using as your prep material - you are asking for advice but i have no idea what you have been doing those 3-4 weeks. So what advice can we give you?
Sorry, should have been more precise. I've used new Veritas prep books and
MGMAT SC book for preparation till now. also have been checking out practice questions on gmat club regularly (Including daily practice question mailer everyday)

3. You started off with 690 - that's a great score. You should consider yourself lucky to have that level already. However, it will be much harder to improve on it than if you had started with 590 or 490. Expect to put a bunch more work and do a lot of analysis of your tests, which leads me to my final point
4. Use the CATs that you took to figure out where you make mistakes and why your score is not going up. The answer is there. However, if you have made a bunch of mistake on a subject you have not studied in the week 1, then you did the same in the week 2, and the same in the weeks 3 and 4 - that should be an answer to pretty much all of your questions. You really want to only measure your progress in are you studied.
I've used tests reports to improve on quants...combinatorics for one, from none correct in first to all correct in recent test, but have not been able to imrove my verbal, as there is no definite area I can find out to focus.. As i mentioned, usually all questions in 600-700 are correct and only 50% in 700-800 level. This is what I'm not able to figure out, how to move forward..
