Hello,
I have just 1 more day to go for my exam. Unfortunately things haven't really been working for me. My study plan spanned 2-3 months. I gave my Kaplan tests and have been scoring in the range of 640-660 with Q47-Q50 in Quants (Verbal being my weak section). GMAT Prep 1 gave me 650. My target score is >720 and I am nowhere near 700. I gave my MGMAT tests and I scored 580 3 times and a 640 twice. I am not getting anywhere with these scores and my morale is completely down. On some introspection, I see that I take time to finish first 10 questions in Quants and towards the end, I do not do enough justice to questions as I run out of time. My Verbal section has been inconsistent too. I am seeing big issues with concentration and not really concepts. 580 in my MGMAT tests are really demotivating (Q32, V30). And as far as I can see, I need a miracle to score more than 700 in the actual test.

Don't pay much attention to the absolute scores that you receive on the unofficial CATs. The 650 on the GMATPrep is a good place to be, of course you need to push yourself from this point, but don't obsess about the 580, it may not accurately reflect where you currently stand. In fact, I have seen such massive variations in unofficial CATs that I tell students to ignore the absolute number and only use them for getting used to taking full length CATs. If there was more time, I would have recommended you to take the Exam Pack 1 tests to get a sense of where you really stand, but at this stage they will not be useful.
The only advice I will give you is to not be fixated on the first 10 questions, sure I want you to do the best on those but if you see a hard question, please let it go. And by that I mean a question that you are not able to understand or where you have not made any progress in say a minute or so. This will help you balance out your overall timing and you would be able to do justice to the questions towards the end, which are also important.
Best wishes for the exam.
