Hi hic57999,
With a 670, you're remarkably close to a 700+ score, but at this 'level' the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes. If you make too many of them, then a 700+ is simply not possible. That having been said, after reviewing this CAT, how many questions did you get wrong that you COULD have gotten correct (but you made a little mistake)? Those are the immediate 'issues' that you have to 'fix' to raise your score.
With these Scaled Scores, you have a bit better of an opportunity to pick up those missing points in the Quant section than in the Verbal section. With a Q42, you're likely doing well on the 'math' questions that you face, but you're missing out on a LOT of strategy-based points (especially in DS). With a month to go before your Official GMAT, you could absolutely pick up a bunch of those missing points, but you'll have to put a greater emphasis on practicing tactics and pattern-matching than just doing 'more math.'
What resources have you been studying with?
