It's great that you know the areas in which you need improvement. Now you can devote time to focusing on learning only what you need to know to break the 700 barrier. You mentioned that you didn't practice with the OG too much but might wish to, and we actually just published a couple posts about how to study with the OG and use it to your advantage. You can check 'em out here:
