Hi.
I gave my first shot at GMAT FE on the 20th of September 2024 and scored a 675 (Q86 V85 DI 80). While I was happy with my current score and took a breather, I would like to start preparing again and achieve a score in the 100th percentile (Ideally 765+) since my undergrad scores are below average and my profile needs strengthening. I was fairly confident about scoring Q90 as I finished the section but had made 3 mistakes. My score in DI was shocking, as I could manage to get only 9/20 correct with time being the biggest issue. I would also like to improve on Verbal, although I am fairly satisfied with my score of 85 (19/23).
I used and finished the TTP syllabus and completed the OG guides the first time and is left with no other material to prepare again. Please suggest best practices to get my preparation back up to speed as quickly as possible, and also course materials I could subscribe to for a month, as I plan to give my second shot at the exam at least by mid-November (in around 30 days).
Thanks in advance!

Congrats on 675!
Most improved and perhaps the only improvement you can consistently gain would be in DI.
I would encourage you to approach that section without doing calculations in most questions in graphs, tables, or MSR. These questions should not require you calculating exact numbers but instead you should focus on looking at trends (increase/decrease) and fast estimations.
P.S. Unless you find it easy, I would say anything above 705 would be sufficient. To reach this score, you will need to get 7 sectional points among V, Q, and DI. Figure out how to get the sectional scores up by 7 points and that will be sufficient.

Hi SidharthSoman,
Do you have any official practice questions/tests remaining? You may want to prioritise those resources.
All the best for the retake.
