That is a significant improvement. Kudos for that! The last mock CAT score of 560 shows that you have improved tremendously, but you still need to work on your concepts. The best way would be to go back again to your books and revisit the concepts.

At this point in time, I think it would be best if I just started going through all the problems studying both right/wrong answers and mastering all the concepts. Should I start using the
OG questions inside the books? Or save those for later? I have both 2015/2016
OG books already and I believe 2017 is coming out next month so there should be 3000+ questions in these books alone. Would you recommend I study the quant/
verbal OG books individually first or jump straight into the big
Official Guide book? Reading all the posts in the forum has definitely been uplifting and in a lot of ways, kept me fighting this uphill battle. I hope to hit 700 one of these days from a 280 so that I can debrief my entire process to help others that are struggling as bad as I am
Coming to the
OG, you should start solving the problems from the
OG as soon as possible. These are the problems that have appeared on the GMAT. The more you solve, the more you understand the types of problems that can be tested on the GMAT.
You should study for both the Verbal and the Quants section simultaneously. As a guide line, try to solve:
15 SC, 15 CR, 3 - 4 RC and 30 - 40 quants questions everyday and make sure you time yourself.
Drill down deep into each problem type and identify your pain areas.
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
As an addition, start preparing an
error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
Make sure you complete all of the
OG and the Verbal review and if required, you can buy the Question pack1 from mba.com
