I had given my first GMAT attempt in July with a 640 (Q48,V31) and following the great reviews @e-gmat & ttp . I purchased both these courses and here is why I use the word "Fumble" because I used both these platforms but none diligently. My second attempt of 660(Q47,v35) was a mix of GMATCLUB , E-gmat and TTP and around 2 months of study.
Would please request the GMAT experts to help suggest the re-take approach? Kindly request the GMAT experts to suggest since I have been going through GMAT material atleast for 6 months. Having gone through most of the GMAT material,
My mock scores are in line with my GMAT scores
Note : Having reviewed both platforms , I must add these are good courses for any newbie taking GMAT

Hi RRJ12.
I think, to a degree, you have answered your own question by suggesting that you could have use the platforms more diligently. In other words, you've done some preparation and certainly developed knowledge and improved your skills but likely still have gaps in your knowledge and skill set that you need to fill in in order to hit your score goal.
So, to increase your score, you could work your way through the GMAT topics one by one and fill in concept and knowledge gaps related to each topic, mastering topics one by one until you're ready to hit your score goal.
For instance, in quant, on the TTP platform, you can tell how much of a chapter you've read, how many of the chapter test questions you've answered, and what your performance has been on the chapter tests. So, you could work from beginning of the TTP course and review topics and hit the accuracy benchmarks to master each topic. As you master each quant topic, your expected quant score will increase.
Regarding verbal, you have a more room for improvement there. So, you may want to contact the TTP team via the in-course chat so that we can look at your analytics and give you exact information you can use to increase your verbal score. In any case, your approach to increasing your verbal score will be basically the same as the one you'd use to increase your quant score: work your way through verbal one topic at a time, mastering each topic in turn.
Also, to get an overall take on how to increase your verbal score, you could see this post. How to Score High on GMAT Verbal

Hi RRJ12,
When we last discussed your studies in July (right after you took your 1st attempt), you had been studying for 6 months at that point. Assuming you took your 2nd attempt in the last couple of days, this means that you've been studying closer to 9 months. GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Your 2 Official Scores are remarkably similar to one another - and they show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 650 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. By extension, it's possible that you have gotten 'stuck' at this particular level - and certain aspects of your studies over the last 3 months kept you from honing the necessarily skills to score 720+. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level - but you have to be committed to making the necessary changes to how you 'see' (and respond to) the Quant and Verbal sections, otherwise you will likely score at this same general level again.
Before we can discuss how you might best proceed with your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying over the last 3 months:
1) What type of study routine have you been following? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
If you took your 2nd attempt at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. We can then compare that data to the data from your 1st ESR to get a better idea of how in-line this recent performance was with your 1st attempt. If you purchase this ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
