Hello Everyone!
So I have given two official classic GMAT tests and my scores are as follows:
24/12/23 - 620 (Q:39, V:37)
14/01/24 - 680 (Q:46, V:38)
I am planning to give a third and final attempt on the 31st of Jan to go for 700+ as I believe I can improve quant even more. I am honestly extremely surprised about the volatility and the low scores of my quant section as I have never gotten below a 48 in my mocks and have a strong quant background. But maybe I need to work on some areas which I will after seeing my ESR. What I am struggling the most with now is my plan for the last 2 weeks. To be more specific, what material do I use to practice with? I have exhausted all the OFFICIAL material- OG 2022, Verbal Guide, Quant Guide, and Official Question Bank 1 and all the 6 official tests. I have only the Official Question Bank 2 left and OG 12th Edition left. For verbal, I am going to stick to the official material as much as possible but for quant I am comfortable with going beyond official material to work on my weak areas. Any suggestions for what material I could use? Where I can brush up my quant fundamentals (I have the Manhattan Books)? Should I re-take official mocks or take some other tests as mocks? And any other suggestions as to how I can achieve my goal of a 700+?
I would be grateful for any advice I can get. Thank you very much in advance!

If it's been a while since you took Official Mock 1, using it again may not be a bad idea. Checking whether there any online exclusive questions with the guides you purchased as well. If time management is an issue you felt on your exams, using question/time markers may help, too.
How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?

Hi TS01,
To improve your quant skills, you may find it helpful to engage in topical quant practice.
For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.
After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?
By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.
