Hi anisba,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) What is your goal score?
2) What is your exact Test Date to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

I'd like to see how you handle an Official CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us the most realistic assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can talk through your study plan.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

/Update 31 Oct 2016, 17:35 (UTC+01:00) ;
I just scored 730(Q50,V39) in the GMATPrep1 :eyes
This score indeed comes closer to the estimate given by the Economist...

Sorry, I just realized that I missed parts of your earlier question about the preparation.
Until a few weeks ago I sporadically solved a few Quant and Verb questions, but then focused 99% on the TOEFL preparation.
After I took the TOEFL (22.10.2016), I was left with 5 weeks to prepare:
As of 23.10.2016, I had already taken the first Economist mock test, and knew approximatly the areas I was the weakest in.
After the TOEFL, I began watching egmat concept files, attended a few of their webinars, and understood that during prep quantity is less important than quality, so I tried to focus on Verbal strategies (especially in CR & SC).
Meanwhile, I solved some questions from the OG'16, mainly Verbal, since it's my weakness (almost done with CR, 2/3 of SC done, 1/3 of RC).

Now I have exactly 27 days before judgement day :)
