Hello!
I recently took my GMAT FE exam and got a 645. I have given Mocks 1-4 for preparation for the main exam. The break up of all the exams is attached.
Some observations regarding my main exam:
1) I gave the paper in the order - Verbal - break - Quant - DI
2) I would usually have extra time on my hands after completing the Quant section during the mocks (sometimes 10+min) and the errors i made were usually 2-3 silly mistakes that i tried tackling by reducing my speed and increasing my focus. However, in the main exam i was running short on time and also took multiple attempts to solve questions. This happened for the first time and I'm not sure what was the issue there. Quant would normally be my strenth but really drove down my score during the main exam
3) I have tried multiple strategies to improve my Verbal score (increasing reading speed, solving OG and time bound practice) but the only thing that has worked is analysis of past questions. But that has also increased my score by just 1 point.
4) I usually have a slight time issue in DI but am able to keep that in check by trying to keep my time per question at 2 min. Overall this is my weakest section. While practicing I tried to increase my exposure to questions and it effected my scores positively.
I am targetting 705-715 and need help in devising the strategy for the same. I plan on giving Mocks 3-6 but i am not able to figure out a strategy to further increase my score.

What got you here may not take you further. A jump from 645 to 715 is essential for your candidature and not easy. If you are targeting Round 1 in Sep/Oct, you have time. Hire a coach for targeted help.
