Hello, I've been stuck in an awful rut when it comes to my GMAT exam. I first attempted this test over 2 years ago without much preparation and scored a dismal 540. I vowed I'd do better and signed up for a series of GMAT coaching classes and online prep., after taking a month off from work and preparing extensively by myself I gave it another go in sept of last year, and much to my utter horror I scored a 550.
Clearly something wasn't working, I picked up-self up and signed up for yet another online prep course and in-class coaching, after a series of mocks I gave the exam once more and yet again I scored a very underwhelming 610.
I'm clearly lacking either the ability to tackle this test or the strategy to go about it. In my mocks during my last attempt I was touching the late 670s, however I cant be too confident on the accuracy since when I attempted to solve 700 quant level problems on this forum I was constantly stumped.
So here I am, asking for guidance, help, direction on how to tackle this exam one last time. I got out from my last one and vowed I'd give it in exactly 2 months time (I've booked my last attempt for the 10th of July 2019)
Could you guys please help me with a clear strategy on how to go about this? I've always struggled with quants and my last score V38/Q35 pays testament to that.
Is there a 2-month study plan I someone would be willing to help me draw up? I'm pretty desperate at this point since I work a 10-hour job every weekday (thankfully I have weekends free) and I kind of see my July attempt as the last one I can afford both economically and time wise (given admissions start in Sept-Oct)
I do want to start from the very basics to maybe weed out my horrid foundations and maybe have a chance at securing a score in excess of 700?
Any sort of help would be massively appreciated.

You surely need to enroll in an online course or classroom sessions, to increase your score from mid 500 to 700. Please realize that man test takers find standardized tests very difficult, but with the right strategy, you can easily increase your score. That said, you should focus on your weak areas rather than measuring GMAT as a three-digit score. What were your sections scores? What were your sub-sectional scores? Do you find verbal or quant more difficult?

Thank you for your reply, I do find quants more difficult, I've always struggled with maths. While my verbal isn't great at least I am a little more confident in that respect.
