Hi
ag1991Thanks for reaching out on the forum, it feels good to see you coming out and asking for advice.
Looking at your scores, I can say that you need improvement in both Verbal and Quant. Majority of students falter in their GMAT exam because they start their preparation with
OG.
This is a major mistake because if you start your preparation by solving
OG questions, you are skipping to practicing questions without learning the concepts. This is a trial-and-error based preparation methodology which cause a two-fold problem:
1. It increases your preparation time by up-to 5X.
2. You tend to miss out on concepts even after solving many questions.
We have helped more than 25,000 people in last 1 year in achieving their target of a good GMAT score. Maximum people attributed their success to the structured process which we suggested them. I suggest you break your preparation into 3 stages and follow the below plan:
Stage – 1 --> Learn the concepts
Stage – 2 --> Cement the concepts by practicing a sub-section in Isolation
Stage – 3 --> Become test ready (practicing all the sub-sections together)
If you follow the above approach you can expect your preparation to get over in a timeline of 2-3 months with 18 hours of preparation time per week.
You can also analyse your ability topic-wise and skip stages if you are good in a topic, this will expedite your preparation even further.
I would be happy to explain this Strategy in detail and create personalised milestones for you on a quick call. Please select a time slot that works

Hope the above strategy get you to your target score

Thanks for getting back to me Karan. Actually that is kind of what I have been doing. I have already watched around 80% of the concept lessons on
Magoosh. I review lessons on topics I am not too strong on. I practice questions from the
Magoosh question bank +
OG. I do agree that I shouldn't have started on the
OG questions as
Magoosh had recommended as well but because i was nervous that I wouldn't be able to get to the
OG questions in time I started attempting them. I'll go back to practicing questions mostly from
Magoosh and get to the
OG question banks once my concepts have been solidified.
I have booked a slot using the link you shared. Thank you!
