After around three months of prep (with a company I'd rather not mention), I took the GMAT FE scored a 605.
I am not disappointed because, all my mock scores were in the similar range. Infact 5 of the 6 official mocks I scored a 595 and the final mock I got a 605.
But my target is at least a 645 and I want help strategizing for my next attempt.
My test day experience was very different.
Quants: In none of the mocks I was able to cross the 82 mark, but final day I made it to 84. Although accuracy stands in the same range (15-16 correct of the 21 questions.
Verbal has been stagnant throughout the prep. Always in the range of 80-82. I feel I can make this better, but I want to understand the right strategy, would greatly appreciate if someone could help in here.
DI is unpredictable for me. I almost always lost out the last 2 questions.
In the mocks I have always scored an 80 or 81, but on the test the score came down to 76. This was very surprising considering my accuracy was better than what it used to be on the mocks.
Then another surprising element for me was, I performed the worst on my best suits and vice versa.
In the mocks I always lost to DS and MSR and had a good control over the graphs/tables and TPA. But that went completely opposite on the test day.
Initially I struggled with time management, but I feel that's not the case anymore (except DI). I have two months to retake the test and want some advice and recommendations. It would be great if someone could also give insights into good tutors who can really help me reach my target score.

For verbal, you might consider reading Manhattan prep Critical reasoning and RC books.
The roots of questions (CR) are explained in a very good way in it.

Including/mentioning what you find challenging could be helpful. People may provide some specific suggestions. If time management is an issue, for example, using question/time markers may help a bit. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could also be helpful.
