Hi guys!
As written in the title, I gave my first test today and I scored a 640 (Q47, V31) which is well below my target score (which is 710+).
I studied through the whole TTP (I finished the whole course always reaching the target score for each practice test) but apparently I kind of suck (compared to the target score I need).
What should I do now? How can I get better at verbal before the classic gmat expires?
Also, what should I do for quant? I studied through TTP and I never bombed any test, always got the right score also for their hard test but during the exam I had a lot of difficulty. Should I just practice a lot with the OG bundle to get used to the way questions are posed?
Any advice is welcome!

The ESR may be helpful to check out. If you share it here (after wiping any personal info), people may provide some specific suggestions as well. In case time management is an issue, using question/time markers may help. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, consider working on your solving approach. May boost your score a bit. Had a student for example who went from the same verbal score (V31) to a V40 in about 30 days. Perhaps include working with a study buddy who is really strong on Verbal. There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you could check out/sign up to.

Hi Matt.
Taking more practice tests, both official and third-party tests, will help you get better at handling the overall test experience and score higher.
For Quant, going through official questions will help, and any time you miss a question, identify why you missed it and address the issue. You may find that most of your errors are caused by just a few patterns. You may also find that you need to strengthen your skills in a few specific topic areas. In that case, you could use the streaks method to master one topic at a time.
For Verbal, where were your errors, mostly in one or two Verbal question types or spread evenly throughout SC, CR, and RC?
