Hi michaelpalomares00,

Your current Test Date is about 2.5 months away - and you could potentially improve a great deal during that time. However, your Goal Score is essentially a 150+ point improvement - and all of that training would likely take at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study (and could take longer if you've developed any 'bad habits' during these last 2 months of study). Given your needs, I think that you would likely find it beneficial to invest in a GMAT Course of some kind (either Guided Self-Study or instructor-led) and work through a more formal Study Plan.

1) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

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

I believe best strategy would be to identify your weak areas from mocks (Manhattan does a good job of providing this on platter for you)
Then move from easy to hard in Bunuel signature for the topics you identified above.

You can also use GC tests to practice in QUIZ mode for your weak areas. They provide amazing insights!

Hope this helps!
