Based on your ESR, working on time management may be helpful. Your V31 shows an average time spent of 23 seconds per question during quarter 4. Working on Sentence Correction, the weakest of your 3 verbal categories, may give you the most room for improvement too.
Here's someone who improved their V31 to a V40 on a retake.. Took them about a month. May be some quick tips you can leverage.

Hi NikTek
Here are some of my observations from your ESR-
VERBAL:
1. Your major pain point appears to be SC specially grammar based questions . This could be because of conceptual gaps, and you may need to revisit the concepts and get a clear understanding of them before you solve the questions.
2. You may have secured 75%ile in CR but have taken more than 2 minutes to solve questions which is not ideal. It may be because of difficulties in application of the concepts learnt or because you might be taking more time to read or comprehend. If you can tell me more about your reading style, I’ll be in a better position to advice what should be done to improve CR. Ask yourself - do you take a lot of time to read? How do you read? Do you pre-think to solve CR questions?
3. Coming to difficulty level of questions, we can observe from the ESR that you may not be comfortable with Medium-Hard level questions which again brings us to the point that right methodology is not being followed. You need to build your capability on such questions in order to do better.
4. The amount of time taken per quarter is quite high. You hardly had any time left for the last quarter which negatively impacted your accuracy in the last quarter.
For building your skills to solve medium-hard questions: (a)You have to solidify your concepts in SC and ace medium-hard questions. (b) You have been able to solve some of the Medium-Hard Questions in CR and RC, but not in optimum time. You need to manage time here. One of the reasons could be-the process you are using to solve the questions is not efficient. Try to refine this process by seeking inputs by experts on the methodology being used by you to solve the questions and how to reduce the time taken. This should help!
QUANT:
Looking at your Quant score, you appear to be good with concepts but struggling a bit with its application. There is a room for improvement in both PS and DS.
1. PS appears to be your weaker area.
2. You struggle to solve Algebra and Geometry questions despite devoting more time. Mastering Inequalities/ Modulus can help you score a Q49 at least.
3. You have mostly been able to tackle Hard questions in case of Quant except for mostly those from Algebra/Geometry (assuming).
4. Taking extra time in first 2 quarters is a cause of concern. 1st quarter is supposed to be easy-medium, so don't spend more than 2 mins on an average in this quarter. Try to work on reducing time in medium questions.
5. There is a good chance that you may be making calculation mistakes while solving questions or even redoing them which must be taking up unnecessary time. Do let me know if that’s the case.
The ideal thing would be to identify your weak areas in details and work on them. If you can take your Quant score to Q49+ and raise your verbal score by 6-7 points, GMAT 700+ is not far. So, you have to analyze even the minute things and make sure to work on them. Figure out what exactly your weak areas are and then make a plan of action. You can get on a call with me if you need help with the study strategy to overcome your weak areas and hit your target score. I would be happy to help you.

I have attached my ESR for your review as well.
Scored a 640 (Q44/V34), any guidance would be helpful!
This was my first attempt at the exam. My Official PT1 score was 610 (Q43/V31) and PT2 640 (Q43/V35), so not much of a surprise.
However, far from my Target of 720 (Q48/V40)+ .... so still a Mountain to climb!
Studied over 1,400 logged hours using TTP/EducationAisle SC Book/OG/LSAT since September,2020!
Quant:
1. Finished TTP Twice, including redid all examples etc. and made my own notes, which reviewed 3-4 more times to keep concepts fresh. However, did not finish all of their tests, did 50% of the tests though and achieved target accuracy, found TTP questions somewhat different than OG material etc. in terms of wording.
2. Solved OG guide, including PT1&PT2 question banks of 600 questions. Did these timed on first pass and redid untimed the ones got wrong. Averaged 2:00/question on OG quant with average accuracy of 75%.
Quant Things Left to do:
1. OG Quant Review
2. OG Advanced
3. Practice Question Set 1 & 2 (Maybe if I ran out of questions)
4. GMAT Club tests (Maybe?)
Verbal:
1. Read 2-3 Times SC Nirvana Guide for SC Theory
2. Did all OG SC/CR/RC questions, including advanced and review guides (which sucks as I do not have much new questions left)
3. Did over 1400 LSAT RC questions & 700 LR questions, LSAT Accuracy stands at 75%+ under an hour timed sets. However prior to taking the test I scored at 80-85%+ range on LSAT.
4. GMATNinja videos, including the 24 hours marathon (Yes!! That was some well spend time with Charles)
What my game plan is prior to next retake (possibly in 4-6 weeks):
1. Do Quant and Verbal Everyday (Spend 5 days of the week to review 5 different quant sections and on weekends target weak areas further). Also, will watch the recently uploaded GMAT Ninja videos to close any remaining concept gaps
2. Go over error log all all official quant questions and make notes and review those notes so do not make those mistakes again
3. Review SC notes and redo questions that I got wrong and try to bring SC timing close to 1:30 on average. I think given I was comfortably getting 75%+ on LSAT material, If I can save time on SC with good accuracy it can drive my accuracy up on RC and CR, which is suppose to be my strengths.
4. READ EVERY DAY -> Practice Reading Long Technical Texts across topics (Science/Business/Economics/History) and comprehend This will also help to build topic specific knowledge and vocab/might also watch YouTube on topics such as Space/Evolution and History (Stuff that GMAC tests on RC as I think this can help me visualize better)
5. Target weak CR areas (MSS/Inference etc.)
6. Force myself to do LSAT RC and LR sets in 45-50 minutes and see if I can maintain the targeted accuracy. I think I get way to comfortable and end up spending more time than I need.
7. Test taking strategy review: will try to get high accuracy on Q1/Q2 of Quant and Q1-3 for Verbal!
