I scored 655 on the GMAT previously and completed Target Test Prep. Content isn’t the issue anymore, but Quant accuracy (2-3 errors) and DI pacing (6-7 errors) still fluctuate.
I’ve already used all official mocks and worked through most of the GMAT Official Guide material earlier.
With 8 days left, what would give the biggest marginal gain:
• Re-doing official guide + advanced questions
• Grinding GMAT Club hard Quant sets
• Pure error log + timing drills, of all past mocks?
OR should I buy expert global mocks and do and revise about 10 of those?
Curious what worked for others in the last week before the GMAT.

Let's address Quant accuracy and DI pacing.
Quant Accuracy: If the 2-3 errors you typically make in quant are caused by silly mistakes then one way to reduce such errors is to adopt the strategy of reading the question, deriving an answer, and then re-reading the question before submitting your response. This strategy can prove useful since, while solving the question, you identify the key components of the prompt, so when you re-read the question later, key information such as x is an INTEGER or y is POSITIVE will pop out at you if you neglected to consider that information in your solution.
For calculation errors, practice with an error log where you record and review your mistakes to identify patterns or frequent errors. This method not only helps in correcting repeated mistakes but also sharpens your attention to detail.

DI Pacing: While answering DI questions, here are some general time-saving strategies to keep in mind:
- Skim the given information to understand the type of information provided. Don’t get bogged down in the details. Just get a sense of what the data is conveying.
- Use the answer choices to your advantage. In many cases, the answer choices will be so spread apart that you can quickly answer the question through approximation rather than precise calculations.
- Use process of elimination when possible. Narrow down choices by identifying clear inconsistencies or irrelevant options in the data.
- Stay organized. Jot down quick notes or calculations to keep track of information to avoid rereading the same data multiple times.
- Prioritize quick decision-making. If a question seems too time-consuming, it’s better to make an educated guess and move on rather than get stuck. Developing this type of decision-making mindset will help you better navigate the section.

With 8 days left at 655, your Quant score is already solid — 2-3 errors typically means you're not making conceptual mistakes, you're making execution errors under pressure. And 6-7 DI errors tells me pacing is the real culprit there, not comprehension.
Here's what I'd prioritize given your specific situation:
For Quant: Stop grinding new questions. You've done TTP and OG — more practice material at this stage won't move the needle. Instead, pull up your error log from your last 2-3 official mocks and categorize those 2-3 wrong answers. In my experience, at your level, Quant errors cluster around 1-2 specific problem types (often Overlapping Sets with three variables, or DS questions involving inequalities and absolute values). Once you identify the pattern, do 15-20 focused problems from that one type only. Precision beats volume this close to test day.
For DI: 6-7 errors almost always comes down to one thing — spending too long on Multi-Source Reasoning or Table Analysis and rushing the Two-Part Analysis questions at the end. In your next practice session, deliberately set a hard 2.5-minute cap on each MSR question. If you're not confident, mark it and move on. DI pacing is a skill you can sharpen in 2-3 focused sessions; buying 10 new mocks won't help as much as fixing your pacing discipline on the ones you've already done.
Skip buying the Expert Global mocks. At 8 days out, reviewing 4-5 questions in depth from mocks you've already taken will serve you better than 10 new attempts.
You've clearly put in the work — trust it and get specific in these final days. Go get that score!
