Hi bissasa,
With 4 days remaining before your Official GMAT, you probably won't be able to make any big changes to how you approach the Test. Thankfully, with a 640-650, you're remarkably close to a 680 score right now. At your current score 'level', the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes, so if you can eliminate just a few of them from your current performances, then you could very easily hit your goal score.
Take a good look at the CAT4 from Exam Pack 1. How many of those questions did you get wrong that you COULD have gotten correct if you had just avoided a little mistake? THOSE are the errors that you have to keep from happening. Usually, to 'fix' those errors, you have to take more notes, label your work and NOT do work 'in your head.'
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I'm not sure why so many people follow this "strategy".
We're probably too close to the exam to put a different time management strategy in place, but this really should not be your approach. Guessing on all the last ten questions is just not likely to work in your favor.
