Good day, GC experts,
I gave my second attempt for the GMAT Focus Edition on June 8th and scored 575 (V-81, Q-80, and DI-75). I followed the order of V, Q, and DI. This was my second attempt, and I gave my first attempt on December 28th, 2023, and scored 575 (Q-79, V-79, and DI-77).
Below are screenshots of section-wise performance from the 2nd attempt.
I am seeking guidance from experts on how to proceed further to get a 685+ score, as I am targeting an attempt in 3 weeks. I made five consecutive verbal mistakes, which I believe made the low scoring start for quants. Also, it is a bit confusing; 4 mistakes yielded Q80. The DI section has resulted in pulling down the score significantly because of nine mistakes.
Below is a screenshot of all the mocks and scores, respectively.
Below are the fundamental skill wise analysis.
I urge all the experts to give guidance on how to proceed further, as I am unable to come up with a plan to improve the score. I am out of all the official mocks.

Hi. Happy to comment But I would like to It’s very hard to provide a good answer to your question. at the same time, you have a great base here says you’re thinking to improve, I also would warn you about not sliding so you want to think not only to improve but also how to secure your Gaines.
Again You’re asking a general question. So it is pretty hard to give you a good narrow answer. I will attempt but it will be likely a very surfacey reply.
All right, what I see is that in two and three which I think are your verbal and data insights, your last five questions are wrong.
Why are they wrong? Did you run out of time?
I see you spent three minutes and 30 seconds on a data sufficiency. Why would you do that? Why not skip it and come back at the end? If you have time?
PS. if all you’re looking for is just 10 points of improvement, I don’t think you need to post screenshots and give a lot of details. Just don’t spend 3.6 minutes on the data sufficiency and that will probably give you 10 points.
don’t spend 3.4 minutes on a critical reasoning and that’ll probably give you another maybe five points.
Finally, review your best and worst areas because as you can see you’ve gotten the same score by likely focusing on different areas. There’s of course a chance of score variance as there’s always a margin of error baked into any score.
I would also consider where you can move the needle in the next two weeks and where you will be banging your head against the wall. You can improve any of the three scores and it will equally add to the overall score so pick easy or easier or more enjoyable Areas.
This would be my suggestion and I think you can walk away with an extra 10-20 points just being better with timing and maybe extra 10-20 points by tightening up some of the loose ends. I don’t think you need to do major renovation, just make sure you don’t lose any ground. I started the post with this and let me end it with this as well as don’t take what you have for granted, even a few weeks knock down points. Refresh, review, and eliminate mistakes. Small gains very specific areas but don’t surrender any territory.

Thank you bb for the response, but I am not looking for 10-20 points improvements. I am looking for 110 points (I am trying for 685+) improvement therefore I posted all the details and my mock scores.
I really appreciate your time and effort to answer my query.
Thank you.
