I will be taking GMAT in less than 4 weeks. I started training 1.5 weeks ago and scored 710 at GMAT Prep and 700 Manhattan GMAT. The aim is 720+. In general, my quant is 47-49 (with nearly all mistakes coming from DS) and verbal is 39-44 (60% mistakes come from SC (non-native speaker), 20% from RC and CR).
At the moment, I am operating on extremely constrained budget, thus any purchases of specialised material are beyond considerations. However, the university's career centre has quite a wide choice of GMAT preparation books (some of which might be a bit outdated) and there seems to be plenty free tests available online.
What strategy would you pursue? I can spend ±3h daily/7days a week.
At the moment, I am finishing the Official Guide v12. In addition, I also got a Manhattan SC guide from the library.

It's great that you still have access to prep materials;
In my opinion, you should find a test or some questions that come with answers or feedback so that you see where your weakspots are. Then try to work more on those types of questions so that you can increase your score. ( After reading your post, I believe you are already doing this )
Also, it would be great if you find complete sets of questions/tests so that you can do a timed practice; in my opinion this is really important.
From my experience, if you have limited time, try to focus more on understanding wrong questions than the mere volume of questions...
I hope this helps

For quant, hitting the 47+ mark requires knowing the fundamentals cold, thinking strategically/quickly and avoiding silly mistakes. You already seem to be in a good position for quant so I would just practice as many questions as you can so you do not forget the necessary skills.
The MGMAT SC Guide is highly recommend on this forum. Since you already have it, go through it. In order to know all the rules, you will probably have to go through the book a few times. SC is one of the easiest areas to improve and you can quickly see your score increase. I would only practice on "official materials." Read through why the answer choices are BOTH right and wrong. You will quickly see patterns emerge. For additional "official" SC questions check out this compilation from another thread on this forum: gmatprepsc-105446.html
In short, I don't think you need any additional books. You just need to refine your SC skills through memorization and practice.
Good luck.
